The inspiration for the uniform was based on the Aztec Warriors, "we found the detail of how they were made up of different militias, they all came from different places and had different shields or Chimallis, which is something that we will be talking about in this uniform. And how, despite being from different origins, they all united under the emblem of the Aztec Warrior in order to defend their land," revealed Salazar.
Although the MLS All-Star Game has been going on for many years, this is the first time that, instead of going for an international or European team as they typically do, they reached this agreement with Liga MX to create this rivalry that comes naturally to national teams.
