Is the new Canada white kit actually white? It looks almost cream in some of the photos. Vintage white??

It's white. The filter they use in the pictures doesn't help make it clear.

Canada needs to drop Nike

Nike takes care of the women's team pretty well. The men on the other hand, they are last in line. To be fair, until the 2022 cycle the men hadn't been close to making it in. I also think with this kit group, Nike decided that now was the time to take some chances with a team, and I'm sure Canada was on board, especially seeing how far in the red the organization overall is. It's why the Canadian team had a better uniform in Ted Lasso than they had in real life at the time.

It’s kinda weird how the home kit uses a royal blue collar and shorts, but a navy swoosh and color on the crest. Just pick a shade. If it’s me, I almost always choose navy for the national team.

 

I'm fine with the USA keeping navy for the badge and swoosh while using a slightly different color for the rest of the uniform. Personally, I think the blue that they use should be a closer match to the US flag instead of going with navy blue.

Oh Canada...

If Nike was a country I could understand the Nike "hockey logo" history callback and collar swosh...

 

but the country is Canada - and even going if they want to do a "hockey" connection, the Canada hockey jerseys themselves don't look as weird.

 

the away is slightly better, but nothing special.

 

Sidenote: Thankfully I recently found and bought (albeit non authentic) male version of their 2021 women's jerseys.

 

I think if both kits used the same patterns as the away kit for 2024, Canada would be one of the best overall looks this cycle. Instead the stacked logos and numbers will be used for the home jerseys, and that's not a good look with that version of the swoosh.

Is he wearing Norm VanBrocklin's old pants?  Look how faded they are compared to his linemen.

The front of their pants look faded too.

The treatment of the Swoosh in the oval is very odd. Haven't seen that before, certainly not on any of the other kits in this cycle.

Per Nike:

"Canada’s 2024 Home kit celebrates the country’s sporting DNA. The shirt’s two-tone red features a rebranded Swoosh made famous on Nike hockey jerseys of the past".

I don't know how I feel about the home shirt, but I do like the away kit. That oval Nike logo is a neat little change that's specific to Canada as well.

I have to add this photo, because the shorts elevate the entire look. Now that I’ve seen the stripes on the short, I feel more confident in saying the entire collar should have been blue. It’s kinda stripe overload. Still great, though.

 

As much as people want to call this boring, I'm happy they didn't copy England by using the color of the shorts on the side inserts for the jerseys. I'd expect the numbers to be blue with red trim, but even if it's only a blue number these will look good as long as the font isn't something wacky.

Hopefully it’s more interesting that what Canadas men have gotten the last 2 cycles

The Canada men have been treated pretty bad regardless of who did their uniforms. But the fact taha Nike didn't have anything ready for 2022 was pretty bad. 

Chelsea vs Leicester City. Chelsea are in their standard homes and Leicester are in dark grey. Not sure who approved it because other than the socks it's hard to tell them apart from far away.

Now I just want to know what the number font will be. If they carryover the numbers from last time it should be fine.

I feel like this is done semi-regularly when a team unveils a secondary kit in MLS.  

I think for Columbus, it's a better clash than yellow vs red, but I also think games like this are why third kits should be for every team. Red Bulls could have worn their graffiti kit from last year and Columbus could wear their primaries.

Justin Fields traded to Pittsburgh for 6th round pick (turns into 4th based on playtime)

This feels like the Steelers grabbed Wilson too early and now they're lucky Chicago had to send Fields away. This QB room is improved, but it will be dysfunctional as hell.

It appears MLS is in the beginning stages of killing off the "2, II, B" names in MLS Next Pro. I heard a few months ago that they were encouraging MLS clubs to move their Next Pro clubs outside of the MLS cities and stadiums.  Effective immediately, LA Galaxy II has been rebranded to Ventura County FC and will move to Thousand Oaks playing at California Lutheran University.  San Jose Earthquakes II have been rebranded to The Town FC and will  move to Moraga at Saint Marys College

 

I think this works for some teams, but Crew2 are in a good location for them at HCS, so moving elsewhere doesn't make sense to me. 

The yellow bit on the Brahmas helmet doesn't really fit. I think a yellow or dark grey lid would be the better way to go. 

Houston with their red 2020 jerseys and the cog logo would probably work as an alternate jersey as well. Minus the side stripes of course.

I think a Canton team, funded by a Cleveland ownership would make sense. They could use McKinley's new athletic fieldhouse or even Massillon's to work out in and then play at Fawcett Stadium (Hall of Fame Stadium). A team that is truly Canton's would possibly draw well and there's enough other HOF Village events that you could tie in to it to fill-up the seats. They have to play in March though. February is still "football" weather but no one is sitting in those cold bleachers. 

I think we would still see teams operating out of Arlington for at least one more year, unless they decided to set up two hubs with Birmingham as the other training hub.

I wouldn't expect Cleveland to get a team, but I think going to 12 teams next season is a good call if they can get the right cities involved. I'd expect that people will want the Stars, Breakers and Sea Dragons back but the first two need to have stadiums taken care of by this summer to make them viable. And for Seattle, I think they need Portland or San Jose/Sacramento/Oakland to give them a nearby rival. I don't think 16 is viable until there is an arrangement with the NFL to take on practice squad players like the WLAF/NFL Europe league did in both iterations.

Washington failed Sam Howell.

I would agree. Who has he had to work with? The Commanders need to be disassembled all the way down to the studs and rebuilt.

Also a rarity: patterned backs! I know for sure the Germany away also features the gradient pattern so we will have to keep an eye out for others.

 

 

 

 

Mexico looks horrible with the monochrome designs. The home should at least flip the G/W/R to R/W/G for that shirt. Those shorts are the worst thing I've seen since the adidas kits with bra straps on them.

Did Arizona State extend/renew with adidas? Last I knew the deal was coming to an end

No announcement that I can find online, either ending or extending it. I wonder if they are waiting until the end of the academic year to announce an extension, or a new supplier. 

Not sure why, but Columbus and Houston switched home and away kits for the Champions Cup.

The UFL uniform changes are not surprising.  I had only expected minor tweaks and that is what we got.  

I'm still disappointed that with Memphis and Houston we have two teams with the same basic design. Maybe they could have used a design like the Stars or Sea Dragons just to improve on what was left from the teams getting cut.

Could this be the MUFC home kit for 2024-25?

 

 

Footy Headlines says this one is a fake. Personally, I'd prefer the black sections on the top would be red instead. I'm already afraid of how ugly their short options will be next year. 

If these were the shorts it'd be a good look. I'm expecting them to have the same design as the adidas national team kits.
