Román Rising

Román Torres may not have played a part in the 1-0 win against RSL, but he’s making a commanding first appearance in this column. El Mazinger seems to be taking some style notes from Tom Cruise in the Mission: Impossible franchise, which, honestly, is working.

Torres looks like a big, beautiful ninja in his all-black outfit. The pants are tighter than us mere mortals could pull off, serving only to make his broad shoulders look somehow more impressive in his incredibly well-fitting jacket. The cut of the jacket is interesting — with a high collar and a waist cut like a suit jacket, it’s almost a moto-jacket that you could wear to a kickass wedding or a blazer you could wear while you get into a high-speed chase on your motorcycle.
