  1. That and the subsequent tradition of changing it back when you realize you’ve messed up a bit (see the Sonics 90s scheme, and the Seahawks probably soon)
  2. Oh yeah, because we’re sooooo much better with Zulily and a casino. I’m making more the point all sponsorships suck (except Bantr, of course) and need to be kicked off of sports uniforms. Although the way every league is heading this country we’re going to have all our uniforms look like NASCAR suits by 2040.
  3. Who’s your favorite advertiser for the Thorns, the “non-profit” (wink wink) religious healthcare grifting organization, or the Chinese social media cancer app that wants to make sure anti-war Russians remain silent?
  4. Why are so many people here stanning these Timbers purple cow jerseys? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
  5. Maybe Andretti merges his plans with Haas to make an easier jump to F1?
  6. Haas will be testing in plain white (and no Uralkali ads) for the rest of preseason testing, for fairly obvious reasons:
  7. Seahawks should have throwbacks this year. Ridiculous. Or change the helmet back to silver so you don’t even have to give players two helmets. I swear to God this organization is doing everything in their power to try and deprive us of Russell Wilson in a Seahawks throwback.
  8. NOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo Bulldog Bold is my favorite number font in all of football. I know that’s a weird take, but I love it. Proprietary fonts rule (unless it’s crap like Kansas’ Trajan) and they set schools apart. Not everyone needs the same standard block. Even a modified block is distinct but still strong, like Florida or the Cowboys’ throwbacks.
  9. Agreed. The wings ARE MNUFC, it’s just too bad the insanely stupid Adidas shoulder stripes distract from the look. Black is dumb. They should really try to own a more anthracite or charcoal gray if they want better contrast with white.
  10. Ferrari is winning the livery battle among the actual contenders and it’s not even close. That red EOS crap ruins Mercedes look this year and the Bybit ruins the Red Bull look. Seriously, 2 sponsors on the front wings? Crypto has jumped the shark. The only way to make money off it now is to sucker people into buying it, which is exactly what these companies do.
  11. Nike is in a major down cycle too with the Commanders silliness, the inability to let go of COLOR RUSH!!!1!, their bad designs of late in soccer, and the downright terrible Olympic hockey jerseys.
  12. Miami you magnificent bastards! Also the Sounders replica is up for sale, and… it’s bad. Really bad. Can’t embed a picture, but no blue sleeves, no MLS patch and no secondary sponsor! If I were EQC I’d be throwing a fit. Just sell a t-shirt at this point. I take it back Adidas, you win, price the replicas at $100 and give us the details back.
  13. Okay, I’m now officially a grumpy elder millennial. Orlando and Portland suck, in ten years we’re gonna laugh at those. And then in forty years we’ll all be dead because of the US healthcare system spending more money on ads than patient care. I feel like the Sporks have a new sponsor every year, and a new stadium sponsor every two years. Can we have some consistency?
  14. What a crest! Nice colors, very Vermont-y font, and no forced addition of FC, SC or United! MLS should take note.
  15. I think the crest needs an update. I like the shape of it, actually, but it’s too generic: DID YOU KNOW SEATTLE HAS THE SPACE NEEDLE?? The crest also translates pretty poorly to hats, clothing, etc. The team desperately needs a good secondary or an element like Liverpool’s liver bird that can used as easily as a brand mark separate from the full crest. I agree with rave green. Don’t kill it, just tweak it. Rave Green 2.0. I was pissed when Austin got a cooler shade of green. Someone on here (sorry I can’t remember who) pointed out that rave green was a “corrupted color” which is to say it’s not a green-enough green. They have to make sure it’s not too bright or too dark (Timber warning) which is a tough task but can be done. And what sucks about Austin is they now have to stay away from bright verde too. That “lime” in the above post is the best compromise I’ve seen. Another hot take: cut the FC. Who cares, it’s played out at this point. Everyone in MLS does it. My hope is that the Kraken absolutely crushing their branding (and selling truckloads of merch) leads to a branding war in Seattle. In the best case, the Seahawks and M’s get better unis (logos are fine) and the Sonics come back with a vengeance.
  16. Boy does that white uniform look like a rejected Florida State proposal
  17. This is the only better Sounders home kit: I still wish they had gone full checkerboard. But I’ll take it! Well done. I am biased, but I feel like people are trying to gaslight me into thinking that Timbers’ change shirt is good. It’s not. It really is not. It will be the uniform of the tryhard Portland hipster the next few years and for that I am grateful.
  18. Guys, you don’t have to defend sponsors. If the ad is an eyesore it actually detracts from what the brand is trying to accomplish. For example, I think Velo sucks now, and even more so now that I know what they do. So I agree that it’s bad design.
  19. Full disclosure though, I wish they had gone full classic checkerboard like a good Croatia jersey.
  20. I can’t believe I like that pattern, but… I like that pattern. This might be the first primary shirt I’ve bought since the inaugural (that says both good things about the change kits and bad things about the primaries). And clearly the trombone is to announce the rebranding of FC Dallas Boners City United SC.
  21. I think they simplified it to just the “EQC” lettering. I feel bad for getting cynical and thinking they’d never do checkerboard… but I don’t know if I love the pattern only being right down the middle. I really hope it doesn’t have a centered crest either.
  22. I just realized the generic WFT identity was better than this. Hilarious. Including (and especially) the W itself. And why ruin the iconic helmet stripe for good? WTF WFT.
  23. Yup. Timbers got it right the first time, there was never any real need to change.
  24. Monochrome BFBS No triple helmet stripe, for no reason and with no explanation Garbage number font with stencil lines Congratulations Washington!! You’ve been Nike’d.
