Ok, congratulations

I’m so freaking happy we have a purple and green team. So wonderfully 90s. But there’s too much black on the unis! Replace it with purple and it’s a winner. The helmet rules. Also a lot of people - especially on the East Coast - think Washington means DC. They should have been the Evergreen State Wolfpack IMO.

That collar is abso-f%#€-ing-lutely atrocious. God forbid Nike ever make a normal v-neck.

Is there a way to get logos on the guardian cap? That may be the difference between them catching on or not.

Selfishly I hope Utah avoids light/powder blue so the Kraken can be the main light blue franchise in the league. Although our primaries are dark blue so that opens the door. Bet they go a light blue primary with a black-dominated logo. Brown would be a nice color to get into the NHL but it’s all about selling merch these days

Can’t believe we’d have to see those 5280 atrocities in a game seven. Adam Silver is an idiot when it comes to branding. How come no one ever tries to emulate the NFL when it’s the gold standard on branding? Can you imagine the Packers wearing a bright yellow CHEESEHEADS jersey in a playoff game? No, because they aren’t idiots.

The Broncos actually have a pretty good thing going here. Modern but not over the top. Most of the dumb elements like the random triangles are too small to make a difference in the overall look. What I don’t like is between the triangles and the shoulder stripes there is a lot of anti-counterfeiting elements in place. Which would be fine if Fanatics didn’t make cheap crap but charge full price, meaning you really have to pay top dollar for a good jersey AND the replicas are such crap they aren’t even worth it anymore. I wonder if they’ll just start dropping/half-assing even more elements on the replicas.

Hey! They’re also allowed to say “icy whites “

Based on recent Nike history here are my predictions for the Broncos set: -New, terrible number font -Weird striping -An icy white monochrome with the white helmet -Weird features and watermarks to prevent counterfeiting of the increasingly subpar replicas

Given Nike’s recent track record, I’d expect a horrible number font, striping that looks weird and only serves to prevent counterfeiting, and maybe some weird nameplate to try and desensitize people toward potential ads in the future

As cringey as Macklemore can get, he’s a good dude and he cares about Seattle more than anything. Having said that, this club continues to be completely tone deaf. It’s like they want to drive fans away. This shirt is terrible: it’s the WRONG new green as you can see the difference between the crest and the primary color on the shirt (may be the fabric difference? But I doubt it; it sure looks like the old rave green). Then these hideous dark green outlined light blue stripes. And the icing on the cake is the God awful use of white for the cuffs and collar. And don’t forget most everyone here hates the sponsor! When you see a healthcare sponsor of your favorite team, just remember you and other patients pay for it with the absurd healthcare premiums and hospital bills that plague our country. Providence’s sketchy stances on the healthcare issues they politicize make it worse. I refuse to buy a shirt with them on it. Meanwhile Adidas will continue to move the goalposts and deny us a third kit even though we’ve sold all our thirds in droves… maybe our sales are down because they forced a sponsor on us no one likes and MLS did next to nothing to support us in the club World Cup? Never mind, though, MLS has made it clear their priorities lie with expansion teams and Messi-mania. The latter of which I actually understand. The former? If this league gets to 40 franchises they better split and start doing pro-rel.

Does the green on the Sounders shirt really not match the green on the new crest? If so, yikes. Either way they aren’t getting my money as long as Providence is the sponsor.

I’m not tolerating slander on the Garrard era number font. The current wussy rounded block numbers are boring and much worse.

Exactly. It’s bad logo creep but at least 3 lines are a design element. The rest looks like hockey got drunk at the X Games and threw up on itself

I agree, but also the Kraken are basically going to get my money immediately when they eventually make a light blue anchor logo alt with the modern striping pattern. Can’t believe they haven’t done it already.
