Arlando Griffin is a Cincinnati 5th-grader loves soccer; he's headed to NYC's Fashion Week with FCC kit unveilingAttachment 16831
Arlando Griffin is 11 years old, a big brother and a right midfielder for the West End Pride, his neighborhood soccer team and one that's sponsored by FC Cincinnati.
In other words, a typical fifth grader.
That's about to change. He's about to be thrust into the spotlight this week when he serves as a model for FC Cincinnati's 2020 season kit in a Fashion Week show in New York City.
Instead of team-by-team reveals, this year Major League Soccer and Adidas – a league sponsor – will unveil the league’s complete collection of 2020 jerseys all at once in a fashion show.
Each team is sending a jersey model.
Among those headed to New York for the event, per a league press release, MLS greats Alexi Lalas, Jack Jewsbury and Jaime Moreno; pro football players Boston Scott and Deandre Hopkins; actor Colin Hanks; YouTube star Dude Perfect; and rapper Murs.
And, of course, Arlando.

My grandson!
