Thecargeek Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I will be completely honest, Adidas isn't trying whatsoever with these MLS jerseys, but my GOD, that maple leaf is amazing, unfortunately the jersey is tooooo plain.Thanks for those good leaks.

upperV03 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The problem with this years kits, and to a certain extent last years kits as well, is that adidas is getting too caught up in templating. Last year they had the line under the neck on the back of the shirts and this year they have the hem line. All the kits just look too similar given that pretty much all of them will either have the hem line or the line on the back. It's bad enough that all the shirts have the three stripes on the shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStoicPaisano Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Not football but France rugby is wearing red over blue against Scotland's navy in the Six Nations. Both Nike and adidas (rugby) do well by France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKarchitect Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I really like SKC and Columbus. Definitely will be getting myself a new Sporting kit this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Sporting KC's entire branding aesthetic has this strange prep/boarding school vibe and I think I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Footy Headlines reporting the Revolution's 2015 away kit will look close to this (they called it a draft). Based on the TFC and Impact mockups, this might not be exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ugh. That is brutal. Adidas is really missing the mark on MLS kits this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 KC's kit looks horrible. The Crew is par for the course. And Toronto looks ugly due to it's plainness. I really hope Nike or Under Armour challenge for the MLS contract in 2018. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I think Nike is a sure bidder, especially if they lose the NFL contract before then. Under Armor? No, thanks. I haven't seen anything of theirs that looks better than Nike. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas1787 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 TFC looks good. Glad there isn't any silly sublimated maple leaf pattern. I can put up with just the one at the hem.Most of these new kits are quite classy, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, and any time I'll use it I will surely credit you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamiller99 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 SKC looks like a tablecloth. I do like the Crew kit this year, might buy myself one. I really hope UA or Umbro gets the rights to make the kits soon. I for one wouldn't mind Warrior, because I like the absurdity that half their kits are. That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitecapsForLife11 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Nike in my opinion is the best bet for the MLS, not only are they known for their good designs, but they are an American company, so if you want to get the league grown more in the US and Canada, then Nike would be a good bet for them. Fingers crossed they do sign with them. I also agree with the fact that many of these designs don't look like Adidas' standards, guess they may be going either lazy or over experimenting with new templates.

gosioux76 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 After reading all your reactions to the new MLS kits, I honestly don't know where a happy medium would be. These kits are simple, yet according to most of you they're atrocious. But yet I can almost guarantee that if Adidas did much different they'd become over-designed monstrosities. I personally like all of the new kits so far, save for those New England ones. I didn't like the Timbers at first, but I don't think most people like their own club's kits at first. We scrutinize those more than most. I've come to like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nas1787 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Agreed. If they go with Kia, I'd like to see the oval left out.I should mention I mocked these up myself. No word on a sponsor from the club yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
