Keel Waived
Colorado has waived Stephen Keel. With the rosters being downsized this year, poor Keel got caught in a numbers game. The Rapids signed their draft pick Ross Schunk and are seemingly making way for Scott Palguta.

Rapids 2009 Jerseys
The Rapids unveiled their jerseys for 2009. Something is missing...hmmm...it's really subtle. The "Colorado" and "Rapids" wordmarks have been removed for this year. We saw this last year when D.C. United started the year with a blank jersey, only to have a sponsor added later in the year. Could something be in the works for Colorado? Could Wal-Mart be the next thing added to the jerseys? Or is not printing the letters on the jersey just a cost cutting measure?
