Random NWSL questions brought up by a friend earlier today. Once NYCFC's new stadium is built, what is the likelihood of Gotham FC moving in with them? And how soon would Gotham leave Red Bull Arena after the new stadium opens?

Groups selected for The Soccer Tournament.

Now knowing the Breakers wear gray pants makes me like their uniforms less

First time watching MLS on on Apple TV (DC United match was free to watch and Apple TV is a preset app on my Roku). Quality seems decent. Then again, I've gotten used to their production via the highlights on YouTube. If DC United is playing in another free match this season I'll definitely tune in again.

Question.  Are the breakers pants white or silver/light gray?

Glad to see mine is still in the top 10. But man there's some interesting options to say the least. 

Yours is good! I must admit though my favorite of the 10 submissions is the one by Bpodger. Are all of these dog supposed to be mastiffs? Does the Dawg Pound have a specific breed they represent themselves with?

Clearly the Rams are going to officially introduce yellow socks to the equation after Jalen Ramsey teased it last season

You know, aside from the Cardinals logos above the nameplates. 

Why is this still a thing in sports uniforms? IMO it's never looked good on any team that tried it.

I’m more surprised that they didn’t play this at Philadelphia Union’s stadium. Feels like it would be more successful there. 

There's been HBCU classic games played in NJ (Giants Stadiums then Metlife) for decades. They're just playing in a smaller stadium now.

Well... it looks like Red Bull Arena is now available for American football. At least for one off games.

The Cardinals just copied the Tarheels jerseys from the early 2000's.Rumors are that UNC is going back to the Ronald Curry era jerseys, so just an updated template for these:

 

OT: I would love to see those UNC jerseys with the argyle pattern inside the white part of the stripes.

PLL comes to Louisville

I personally think the Gamblers will be rebranded and moved to a different market ahead of season 3 for that reason. (My money is on either Tulsa as a revived "Oklahoma Outlaws", or a revival of the Tampa Bay Bandits if they can get a deal to play at Raymond James field), but I listed them here to illustrate the point. But the others do have realistic venue options:

Are they dead set on having legacy clubs? Why not come up with new names?

Doubt most of those are actually still in the league. Where are they gonna play? Are they gonna be able to put the Gamblers in Houston with the Roughnecks already there?

Realistically the Roughnecks and Gamblers should be able to co-exist in Houston since the two leagues have little overlap. I'm sure the University of Houston would accept rent from both leagues to use their stadium.

And the Maulers also have white NOB on a yellow yoke..... Now that I think about it, the Maulers and Showboats practically have the same uniforms. Who signed off on that?

Can somebody alert me when one of our in house photoshop experts posts how any non monochrome combinations could potentially look?

These could have been a whole lot worse honestly. I hope they're not married to the monochrome plan. Would personally like to see them in various red and white combos.

I can live with the alternates being all black

From what I've been told over the years, Red Bull Arena flat won't allow American football to played there. They're okay with rugby and lacrosse games on their grass, though

Maybe they need to consider "relocating" the northeast teams. I'm pretty sure UConn's stadium sits empty for the most part this time of year outside of the NCAA lacrosse finals and some random US soccer matches. Also think not much is going on at the Rhinos old stadium in Rochester, NY. Do the USFL absolutely have to represent Philly and Jersey?

Birmingham fnas are also not showing up for the Breakers.

So nothing's changed from last season?

Last year games in Birmingham not featuring the Stallions were practically empty. With the exception of days when the Stallions played in the second game. Fans would start trickling in the second half of the first game.

Memphis is wearing white pants with yellow stripes. The NOB of their jerseys are white within the yellow yoke. Why would you put two light colors on each other like that?

This could convince me to dislike the Memphis Showboats 

Alright Josh Harris & Company. There is only one way any new name change should go....

HOGS!!!!!!!

In the mean time, gold pants for the Commanders would be swell.

Weren't defensive tackles always able to wear a number in the 50's? Offensive line too. How is a DT wearing 52 triggering to anybody that's been watching the NFL in the last 40+ years?
