FlyingLamprey Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I generally don't like the same sponsors for two teams, so I am glad at least one of them is changing. Kia would be fine for a sponsor. And it looks like San Antonio is finally unveiling their identity on Thursday: Drink water and try to have fun!

njdevs7 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Kinda sucks for them that their sponsor always clashes with their colors so bad. Just looks like its a big sticker that was slapped on. Other than that I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk36 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Is there a rule that they have to have the sponsor on there for jerseys sold to the public? I did a quick search and can not find any Union jersey's being sold without the sponsor on there. Must be a rule or in their agreement, etc.?

I know if I were paying a lot of money to sponsor a team's jerseys, I would require as a part of the agreement that all replica jerseys have my company logo on them.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 DC United's new kit has "Without Representation Taxation" inside the collar... If that sounds wrong to you, it should because it is. The jersey looks good otherwise though. http://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2016/02/03/dc-united-jersey-mistake-taxation-without-representation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevs7 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Would have preferred white Adidas stripes for D.C. but still a nice looking kit. And how the hell do they get that phrase wrong lol. Also, I guess all of the new kits include a little team specific logo on the bottom in the front..didn't notice it at first but I think all of the new kits have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 If it's like past kits adidas uses a long band of fabric on the inner collar, with the motto or club name repeating itself over and over. Cutoff points are usually random which is okay when if it just says, "DC UNITED" over and over, but when you have a motto like this, it looks bad.

That's what I was thinking but they still messed it up. It should read "No taxation without representation" but there is not a "No" (Which would need to be between representation and taxation) so at best it could only read "Taxation without representation" which is still the opposite of what the slogan should read.

If I understand it, "Taxation Without Representation" is something of a political rallying cry for D.C., where residents pay federal taxes but don't have an elected member in Congress.

seattlesonicsofsacramento Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'm really, really enjoying MLS's apparently conscious effort to use this inaugural year with the strikingly new Adidas jersey template to focus on iconic looks in relatively understated ways, especially in combination with removing the third kits this season.

No, "Taxation Without Representation" is correct. Here's the DC license plate, as seen on the Presidential car: I know it sounds better the other way with the "No", but if the phrase is repeated across the inner collar, what Adidas wrote isn't incorrect. Of course, they probably should have taken pains to ensure that the full phrase was visible in its correct form along the back of the collar. Better yet, save the eagles for between complete phrases, not in between each word. Breaks the flow. That aside, holy ing , is that a good-looking shirt. Love the skyline. Between that and the new badge, DCU just got a massive upgrade I didn't even realize they needed. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

The incorporation of the snake is a nice touch, and the gold seems to be well...gold. Much better than the khaki color. I don't like how they have pretty much killed off the signal blue color. It is definitely different from the sky blue that is running rampant in the league. Maybe the clash kit will be signal blue again? Probably not but I'm hoping.

I think it is hilarious that DC has an official slogan which is basically a big F-you to the rest of the country because we allow an entire city of Americans to exist with no congressional representation just because they are not in a state. That needs to get fixed, but so does the DC United jersey. How do you get the slogan wrong on the jersey? weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I wonder if the neck tape is cut somewhat randomly so that the slogan will appear right on some but not on others? Maybe at least on different sizes? Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
