El Paso doing it yet again. Love their kits and what they have done with Hummel (minus that 2024 away kit...)

Really nice kit drop from El Paso Locomotive FC tonight, paying tribute to Hueco Tanks, located 30 minutes east of downtown El Paso.

The Hueco Tanks State Park is famous for its natural water-logged rock basins, ancient photographs and distinct geology. #USL-C
