50 years ago today professional soccer was officially brought to Minnesota. Newspaper clipping via @whenesota.com
This account will be more active in the coming year documenting the Kicks first season in Minnesota. Follow along for all the soccer (and tailgating) fun!
I rarely see this book come up for sale and this is a pretty reasonable price. So many great pictures and coverage of the Kicks inaugural season in 1976. This account's header photo is from the book. A must for any Minnesota soccer fans.

Bummer the Loons lost tonight.
Please just enjoy this scene from days of Minnesota soccer past.
The MLS conference semi final match up is Minnesota vs Los Angeles.

The Kicks played two seasons indoors at Met Stadium, 79/80 and 80/81. After that the Strikers played as part of the MISL. The Strikers 85/86 media guide really played into the indoor nature of the sport.

In case you're wondering the official pantone colors for the Kicks were "denim" blue PMS 292 and orange PMS 165.

Any chance @mnufc.bsky.social can get Twinkie the Loon out of retirement?

Had this poster in my room as a kid. I was a charter member of the NASL Dr. Pepper Rookie Soccer Club.

Keeping a box score like you would in baseball never really caught on. Probably an NASL attempt to American-ize the game.

Unfortunately the coupon expired and there are only four Zantigo's left in the Twin City metro.

What was your favorite lot to park in for tailgating before Kicks games at the ol' Met?

Did you know? Former hockey player, referee and coach - George Karn from St. Paul, MN designed the North Stars, Fighting Saints & Minnesota Kicks logos.

The old NASL had some great jerseys. We weren't calling them kits back then.

This could've easily been me in the Met parking lot before a game.

I would probably watch a "where are they now" reality show of these two Kicks fans in the parking lot tailgating before a game.

Is throwback Thursday still a thing? If so, here are the Kicks celebrating another goal. #TBThursday

Always loved Ace wearing his socks low. Ron Futcher wore shin guards for obvious reasons.

Shout out to whatever kid had the NASL (instead of NFL, MLB or NHL) bedding and curtains!

Nice photo that could be from the 1979 Kicks season opener in Tulsa.

Your 1979 Minnesota Kicks schedule, brought to you by Schmidt Beer and Crown Auto.
Schmidt did not make a hazy juicy double apricot IPA.
