"My family and I are thrilled to be coming home to New Jersey," said Bradley. "This is a tremendous opportunity, and I look forward to getting started as soon as possible."

"This is a special day for the MetroStars," said team President/General Manager Nick Sakiewicz. "Bob Bradley has established himself as the premier coach in MLS over the past five seasons, and we feel extremely proud and extremely fortunate to be able to bring him back home, to his New Jersey roots, to lead our team into a new era that we believe, now more than ever, includes an MLS Cup title."

Also including in the change were new logo and jerseys. The Metros decided as the plan to great a new tradition, they should drop their old logo, a electric 'M' with skyscrapers hovering above, for a more traditional look. The crest will feature four quadrints, the top left being a white star with a black backround, next it are red and black stripes that represent the team's colors, on the bottom left corner is an empty black quadrant, and next to that is a white soccer ball with a black background. In the center will be the electric MetroStars logo.

The new jersey will look similar to the design Nike has been using for the past year. The stripes will be thinner, and the MetroStars logo in the center will look a bit smaller. Rumor has it that the away kit will feature a gray jersey, with no stripes. Somewhat like the one Inter Milan of the Serie A sports currently.
