Major downgrade on that Ligue 1 logo. The existing logo has a unique colour scheme and looks like the tropy/France itself- the L and the 1 is pretty generic, there's really nothing about it that feels like France except perhaps the shade of blue.

Good batch of kits this year.

One of the toughest guys the league has ever had...and continuing a dark streak of those guys dying young. RIP.

The two C-storms are a definitely downgrade from what they have- they feel ECHL-y. The script is mediocre but at least sort of works. The C with the flags is...competent, maybe a lateral move? The Hurricanes are low-key among the biggest aesthetic disasters in the big five, though, so I can see them making this change.

I love it- it does feel like sort of a make good considering how the CANMNT got nothing new for 2022, that we got something unique. That said...despite the cursed results I think they're a little bit of a step down from the womens' kits. I'm thankful we're keeping the name/number font, which feels somewhat "Iconic" as much as anything in Canada Soccer can be.

Between that and the Jeremy Filosa situation it doesn't seem like MLS is too interested in independent reporting.

The image looks good but I think something is missing- the image isn't showing up, I had to copy-paste. What are the names you chose? I'm guessing Olympique for MTL and Royals for Toronto.

Something of an adidas partisan but this round goes to Nike for sure.

I kind of love it! This and the night sky Calgary Cavalry kit feel like decent efforts to get some of the MLS Minnesota/Seattle/DCU meme shirt market but staying on the club's colours/theme. Helpful to build a new brand since the team is only on its' second season.

That's a good development but both of those look VERY quickly knocked off, which I guess matches the effort level that MLS Next Pro has been given.

The Habs have something similar with their heritage sweaters: https://www.tricoloresports.com/fc/ohpc0436-ouate-heritage-canadiens-1947-1948.html These are more of an old wool sweater but they're outside of the adidas/fanatics ecosystem.

I'd agree with this sentiment and also add that the mid-10's Stade Olympique games also earned the team some goodwill. There's definitely been a slight uptick in support, although I'd still say that baseball is at a low point in the region.

Messi didn't play, although the others did. Coccaro was starstruck to get to play against his idol.

Way back in the days of the Marek vs. Wyshynski pod they talked about this a lot- they introduced the rule simultaneous to the loser point and 4-on-4 overtime at the end of the 90's, the idea was essentially that they didn't want teams to pull the goalie as soon as they got to 4-on-4 because they already secured a point. I think the objective was to prevent overtime becoming a spectacle (which of course it kind of became once they removed one more skater a few years later!)

The Carabao Cup final must have been brutal for you!
