July 14th, 2011 - The New York Cosmos x Umbro Blackout launch party was all in homage to the Blackout that took place in New York City on July 13th, 1977. The Cosmos connection with the event is that Carlos Alberto Torres' first night in the city was the night of the blackout. Thankfully, Carlos still signed a contract with the Cosmos that night despite the surrounding conditions. And the rest is history.
