Kevin Hartman played in Kansas City from 2007 to 2009 and continued the club’s lineage of top-notch goalkeepers in net.
Hartman was a standout with the LA Galaxy where he won two MLS Cups, one CONCACAF Champions Cup, two US Open Cups, and two Supporters' Shields. He was also named the 1999 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year. "El Gato" didn't win any silverware in Kansas City, but he did set the MLS all-time saves record in 2009 - ironically passing Tony Meola - and held that record until 2021.
He was traded to FC Dallas after the 2009 season when the two sides couldn't reach an agreement on a contract extension.
Kevin Hartman's gray and navy goalkeeper kit bears a passing resemblance to the "state line" kit that Sporting Kansas City wore en route to the 2013 MLS Cup title.
The shirt shows some use with the right elbow pad having some staining and dirt residue visible.
It is signed by Hartman on the back beside the number.
I've been unable to find photos of Hartman in this kit thus far. It looks like he wore somewhere in the neighborhood of four or five different styles in the 2008 season.
It's a neat piece to add, however, particularly with the interesting color choices echoing back in future kit renditions.
