(Ed.'s Note: As usual, the Copa de Oro classic between USA and Mexico's national teams divides fans along the border with some rooting from the USA and others cheering on the mother country. Some years ago, we hit on the idea of combining two jerseys to come up with a soccer compromise: cheer them on both.
If you think about it, it's a win-win situation. You really can't lose.
We took the idea to a tailor who used to have a shop across the alley behind the old federal courthouse – where the late Herald photographer Joe Hermosa's dad used to have a photo shop and Joe eventually took over – to see if he could come up with a combination of two jerseys, one from Mexico and the other from the USA.
He did and his work has outlasted him because he succumbed to COVID a few years later. This year both teams are in the final for the Gold Cup trophy and we get a chance to wear his creation. One of the combination jerseys went to Miguel Angel, our middle child. The other to yours truly. May the best team win today!)
