This is confusing to me. I see a thread on Reddit that is talking about this, with no source. Footy Headlines is reporting a 3rd kit for the Sounders in 2016: http://www.footyheadlines.com/2015/10/seattle-sounders-2016-training-kit.html Quote The Seattle Sounders 2016 Training Kit will be unveiled in early 2016, whereas the club will later launch both a new Home and a new Third Kit. The Seattle Sounders 2016 Home Kit will feature the club's traditional colors, while the Seattle 2016 Third Jersey will combine teal and navy.

Popmart Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 " Finally, there's the crest--with a star update. The single gold star is part of a new star convention on MLS jerseys; this one represents five MLS Cup wins." Really love these kits. I really wish MLS would stick with a consistent policy on championship stars. The gold one now represents 5 championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Portland has a gold star. Does the defending champ get a different shade of gold? And who remembers the MLS "Scudetto"?

Popmart Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Portland will have a gold star with a little 15 inside of it. Until this year only the defending champ had a gold star. It looks like they're keeping the silver stars for old championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see them try a more "traditional" PL-esque look with a solid blue shirt, gold piping(on the collar and sleeves),gold Adidas logo on the right chest and team logo on the left. Gold name and number on the back, and if they ever abolish league wide number fonts, something close to the font on AI era Sixers jerseys.

UnclearInitial Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Union looks beautiful. Finally they stopped adding extraneous spikes and piping, the blue with the gold stripe is already so far apart from everything else that they don't need a third color. gaLAxy look good, but the sash looks a little bit too vertical and i don't like how it doesn't cut cleanly. I don't like the MLS star system. A star above the crest should be a really big achievement, a reward for organizational excellence, not something you add because you got lucky in the playoffs one year, that should only be present on your kit the year immediately after the win at most. A star for every championships just reeks of the "everybody gets a medal" attitude. 5 championships for a star is a good compromise, eventually other teams will reach 5, there's no need to rush things to make teams look more storied than they are. For the current champions bring back the scudetto or make the MLS patches gold or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe at least on different sizes? That would account for it. Although they still should have put eagles between *phrases*, not words. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Not surprised to see red in the logo. I feel the only reason it's there is because 80% of the stadium is red. San Antonio FC is about as generic as you can get. But since they weren't going to be called Spurs FC they weren't going to be taking risks. I would have preferred Alamo City Defenders as it would tie in to the Alamo as well as the supporters groups.

Berlin Wall Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 My problem with Philadelphia is the same as with the USMNT. When they have such a strong reference to the flag of Philly with their kit design, why is the crest the other way round? They could literally just invert the gold and the blue in the inner circle and it would be fine. Like this: I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010.

Digby Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The navy and gold look is so drab. (I had a similar complaint about New England before they used more red and switched to white shorts.) A striped jersey in that brighter blue and yellow from the city flag would have been so much better, alas.
