aawagner011 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 They knocked this out of the park. DCU looks best with minimal red trim and sparing amounts of white (only the adidas stripes, or bring them back on the chest). Instead, the tonal hoops and dark gray look awesome. Also, henley collars are extremely underrated. This will be one of the best of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 That's what I was desperately hoping the Revs to wear this year in navy. Alas. That looks fantastic. Only nitpick is that the tonal stripes look a little shiny, which ironically makes them stand out more than if they were red or white imho.

Adidas does this any time they go tonal to ensure everyone knows it's their uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleVermilion81 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Found 1 flaw in that DCU kit: the 4 stars aren't the same. If you look at the pattern in them, the two on the left are different than the 2 on the right. Can't unsee lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't unsee lol The 2 on the right are just a mirror image of the ones on the left, which, to me, fits better with the texture in the crest anyways. The pattern in the crest is largely symmetrical, so I think it makes sense to mirror the two stars on the right with those on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_tattoos Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I like DCU's new primaries a lot. Nothing wrong with keeping it simple. Now if only they'd go that route with the white alternates *shudders like Mr. Burns* Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Shorts and socks of the LAFC primary and new MNUFC primary: Also, if you look closely in this video, you can just barely see the collar of the new MNUFC shirt poking out of the jacket, and it looks like there might be a henley collar with a red button: And then in this image you can see a side view of the new MNUFC primary: Can’t really see much except for the Adidas stripes running down the side.

I’m pretty sure Vela just has his socks rotated a bit, and that the wings are meant to be on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Shorts and socks of the new Sounders primary: Also, and this one’s interesting, Mauro Diaz was wearing navy socks yesterday: Might the new FC Dallas primary have navy accents rather than royal? I’ve seen some rumors that their new primary could include contrasting sleeves, so maybe navy sleeves and socks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Don’t mind the all-black look, metallic colors don’t always translate well to fabrics. Just so long as the LAFC kit doesn’t include white or red, I’ll be happy. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a terrible amount of confusion around what this team was supposed to look like at the outset. Eventually it was apparently settled that they would wear the dark blue but call it cobalt. I know it's shocking that a team called Real Salt Lake would have a confused identity. This stupid franchise. I HATE THIS TIMELINE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt is closer to royal blue... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_blue Yeah, I’ve never understood why they call their blue cobalt when it’s essentially just navy. Their USL affiliate used royal in their first couple years of existence, which like you say is much closer to cobalt than the navy is: Frankly I think their identity would benefit greatly from moving towards the lighter shade of blue, as their scheme is just a bit too dark with the dark red and blue together. Royal would help freshen it up a bit, and would fit in better with the whole regal theme anyways. And then they could finally use the term “cobalt” correctly as well.
