Impact captain Patrice Bernier and retired basketball superstar Michael Jordan now have something in common: they both have their own line of clothing.

Bernier has a new line of activewear on the market through Winners, including T-shirts, tank tops, shorts and jogging pants.

“I wouldn’t put myself even close to Jordan, but the more things have gone forward, sports and fashion are intertwined now,” Bernier said. “There are more and more athletes representing brands, so once I had the opportunity I said ‘why not?’”

Unfortunately for Montreal soccer fans, Bernier wasn’t wearing his Impact uniform for Wednesday night’s second leg of the Amway Canadian Championship semifinal against Toronto FC at Saputo Stadium after getting a red card during a 4-2 loss in the first leg last week in T.O. With Bernier suspended, the Impact needed to win by two goals to advance to the final, with road goals as the tie-breaker, but came up short in a disappointing 0-0 tie in front of 18,964 fans at Saputo Stadium.
