I actually loved that yellow jersey in Madden. The key was to pair it with white pants and black socks. Then it worked (mostly lol). But yeah. Shoulders to toes in that color? Blah. Just too much.

The current NFL fan that age or younger also likes mono. So yeah we can blame the players, but it's not a player thing. It's a culture thing of that younger age. They prefer mono (in general). For example, every time I play Madden with my 14 year old nephew he always mixes and matches uniforms for a mono look regardless of the team. That's just their taste. Nike knows this and is appealing to this younger fanbase.

I will fong you...

Oh I am. I hate the Cowboys white look with mismatched blues and ugly pants.

I only see 1

Yeah I'd definitely wear it ironically myself.

This is the last I'm going to post on this kit. As a MNUFC fan it just depresses me and I'm letting it go and counting down to the 2026 replacement (and hoping we have a manager by then). But this is literally all I see when I see the new kit: Plus Equals

if they used the star in their logo as a pattern it would. Random Galaxy image that is only missing 3 howling wolves around it doesn’t fit anything to do with “Star of the north”. I’m honestly surprised the level of love this kit is getting. It’s just a lazy design.

For a team called the Loons it makes no sense and doesn't alignment to any of their kit history. That's the stupidity of it. If it was, say, a team called the Galaxy it would be the perfect kit. Or a team based in some state where they had a song that said, "The stars at night...are big and bright...". For a team who is the Loons...just dumb...

Sigh. As an MNUFC fan I'm so tired of our on the field lack of identity. Every kit is so random. "Starry night". Like, WTH? Give us the freaking wing back on our primary kit and have that be the basis of our primary identity. Do crazy, out of left field stuff on the secondary kit, fine. But literally every primary kit we have has been so disjointed and random. The lack of a consistent identity drives me mad.

My only complaint with that one is that the gray is a little too light as I prefer the darker gray they switched to. But overall, yeah, such a classic design that they should've brought with to the MLS.

Oh I missed that the new stripes are white on the shorts/socks. Sigh. That's really disappointing. And I fully agree with the dark gray primaries. Their NASL kits are still far and away the best they've ever had.

Minnesota United has a teaser graphic in this ad. Called the Starry Night kit. https://www.mnufc.com/legal/2024/loon-call-contest There is one (1) grand prize awarded to the Winner (“Grand Prize”): • (1) One team-signed Starry Night jersey

I think that's the tricky part in this case, too. TLChandler I think does have a case to at least raise the question of "did they take their design". But the Space Needle is trademarked property and to use it by itself in your logo requires special permission (https://www.spaceneedle.com/trademark). So even if the agency who created this logo did steal it from TLChandler, if TLChander didn't have permission but the agency did it might be moot point. (not a lawyer so really not sure how this would be handled in the courts)

Considering it's based off of the Space Needle, there's bound to very similar logos out there. There's enough variation in some of the curves and other things like the middle thickness of the middle ring (yours gets narrow, the Sounders doesn't) that they could reasonably argue you both just used the same source photo when creating the illustration. Whether that's the case or not I'm not sure. It's very similar to be sure, but it's reasonable to argue that a structure created in 1962 that has had countless logos created in that time could eventually have 2 logos created that are unintentionally identical. I'm not going to defend the creator of the Sounders logo, though, but also not gonna attack them.
