When the Quakes stepped onto the field at StubHub Center this weekend in the second California Clasico of the year on Sunday, pregame preparation was business as usual. Andy Dunbar (Equipment Manager) and Eric Weber (Assistant Equipment Manager) had a surprise for the Quakes captain, however. Though he knew things were in the works and had been involved in the design process, Wondo had yet to see the personalized captain's armband designed by Weber and facilitated by Dunbar.
Well-documented in MLSSoccer.com's Bau Daigh Warrior series, Wondo's connection to his Native American Kiowa Tribe roots remain important to the Quakes' all-time leading goal-scorer.
