Magee, a native of Elmhurst, Illinois, starred in MLS for 14 seasons, including three seasons with the Fire (2013-2015). In 2013, Magee enjoyed his most successful MLS campaign, scoring 21 goals and adding four assists during the regular season while being named the MLS MVP, becoming the first-ever Chicago Fire player to win the award.
FORWARD 25 was a first for MLS, with all clubs’ jerseys revealed at one time.
