After seeing the Renegades practice with a mix of painted and pre-paint lids, I am scared we may still get stuck with those idiotic flag helmets. 

Unless they decided to flip Texas Tech's helmet stripe colors, I'd expect this to be the case.

CITY change kits in action on the pitch last night:

That dose of color is really needed. That said, it not illegal to wear contrasting shorts, MLS sides. This one could really use the CITYRED shorts (and the primary kits could use navy shorts). 

 

All in all, I still really like these.

Columbus and Atlanta got the memo. I feel like this will be the primary look for the Crew going forward, especially having that large splash of black on the front of the jerseys. I would say, Atlanta should have red undershirts or long sleeve versions available as well. I don't know of any MLS team that has long sleeves available for players or fans.

They just wore tĥe Texas flag helmets last year if memory serves me right. 

Yes. The previous season was silver helmets.

I think, since Dwayne has his Project Rock catchphrases plastered on the shorts instead of team names or the logo being the focus, that UA will be the official uniform & apparel provider.

And it's on the back of the jerseys still.

I sure hope Houston is getting a new helmet

I was hoping they'd go with a navy shell. That's why I think we're going to see last year's helmets again, because they'll probably just Hydrodip them.

Houston currently practicing with plain white lids. Not sure if it's a full helmet change or simply not handing out the permanent helmets until closer to the season.

Stallions, with a different number font on their white and gold jerseys. Standard league font on red jerseys.

The lime yellowish-green is just for these kits, not indicative of a brand change. There isn’t really reasoning given for the color, other than the usual marketing speak about joy, passion, energy, etc.

I'm guessing they want to stand out and go home vs home kits when playing Seattle.

Glad to see this! I didn't make a lot of SAFC games last year and having ESPN available helped a lot.

I’m not sure if you are trying to throw some shade with this remark or not, but it’s a great practice facility for the league.

I don't think most teams would refer to their training base as their "new home" instead of their "home away from home", but I don't think this is him taking a shot at anything other than the "new home". 

Also, no change for Arlington's helmets, at least it looks that the striping pattern won't change. I noticed the large amount of black helmets, I think they were late arrivals and they just got unpainted helmets for the moment. 

Orlando has released their home and away uniforms. The away "Citrus Kit" and home "Phoenix Kit". 

San Diego Wave with a banger!! The blue and pink jerseys are okay, but I love that "Del Sol" jersey.

"For the first time ever, all 14 teams in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) will receive new, reimagined primary and secondary kits, featuring designs that convey each club’s rich identity.

Each team’s primary kits express their unique stories through color and graphics while the secondary kits are inspired by the strength of the collective. The pre-match tops feature a shared design created by stacking traditional team crests on top of each other, adding textures and colors to symbolically unite the clubs. 

A major update this season: Nike has removed white shorts from the entire 2024 uniform lineup, responding to NWSL players who cited them as a distraction on the pitch. The match-day kits also feature Nike Dri-FIT ADV technology, which provides reinforcement, mobility and breathability where it’s needed most. 

Fans can see the 2024 kits live during the NWSL Challenge Cup on March 15 and season kickoff on March 16".

As a practice venue, this looks to be an upgrade over Eastern Michigan.  

It's probably pretty close to the same seating. The Brahmas are sharing the field as well.

Everton jump up to 14th, after they gain 4 points after their initial 10 point deduction was reduced to 6.

Manchester United has started announcing some of their preseason locations and opponents. Games at Williams-Brice Stadium and SoFi Stadium announced so far. I'd expect AT&T Stadium to be another stop, since NRG Stadium hosted last year, if they are coming to Texas which I think was teased in an earlier post from them.

Chelsea and Manchester City have announced a game at Ohio Stadium. Crew fans are hoping this means one of them would be playing against the All Star team, but that's not been confirmed.

teams are using the previous XFL jerseys to help figure out uniform and equipment fix. I still expect at most they'll slap the UFL logo over these for the 5 XFL squads from last year. 

former XFL teams have UFL slapped over the old XFL patches on the practice jerseys. USFL teams got new practice jerseys without the league logos.

The Renegades absolutely made the right move by putting the distinctive and well-designed R logo on the helmet (even if the previous helmet's stripe was much better)

We all know that ain't a R.

His rankings of the top 3 are flawed. San Antonio isn't  top 3. We all know the Renegades are the #1 secondary hands down. 

It should be the primary logo.

Yeah but I'm not going to do that. Especially since there's a native Apple Music app on Android.

 

Bum ass company.

Which is crazy because I have to use the Apple Music app on my Android to make changes to my Apple account when I forget my password. Hahahahaha

Isn't Fanatics getting backlash for MLB jerseys?  

Yes. but they actually have more than a couple shirts and baseball caps. That's the biggest issue for UFL fans.

It's coming soon ish. Not sure exactly when, but they need grass for the World Cup.

 

You know what's stupid? I can't access Apple TV on my phone.

That is pretty dumb. I can't watch it on mine, but I own a Google Pixel.

That game's in LA at BMO Field.

Ok. I feel dumb. Seattle would still look better with grass. 

Has Seattle switched to grass? It looks like they have a line of turf laid down in the bench area that's different from the field. I also haven't seen a whole lot of the pellets coming up like I've seen before on that field.

As long as the UFL doesn't also have a deal with Fanatics, Under Armour should be fine.  

The issue for most people for the moment is the lack of fan gear.

Was UA rumored or confirmed to be the official on field uniform supplier?

Confirmed, as they were last year for the XFL teams. 

There's also a picture of a Showboats equipment guy wearing a Showboat tshirt with the UA design circle from last year.
