hawk36 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Why is it that the MLS doesn't require a light and a dark kit? All you need to do is see a dark green vs black and it's horrible. Add a rainy night and they are almost identical. I mean we've had to change to white t-shirts in my rec league when colors were too close.

To be fair, that's from a preseason game and when there's been an all black vs. dark green matchup in the regular season, the Timbers have worn white shorts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, even as a Sounders fan, I like both Timbers' kits but think they should at least get a third that's white or yellow that can be used to avoid a dark vs dark situation. Even yellow socks in the matchup in the photos would be a great improvement. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year they'll be moving away from the Rose City red theme for their secondary, so chances are they'll be getting a primarily white kit. I'm holding out hope for a white kit with kelly green hoops on the front, like the ones their USL affiliate debuted last season: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh I think the kelly green would be better, especially if it was paired with minimal yellow accents. That way it could be somewhat of a hark back to the hooped kits the USL Timbers wore back in 2002, but perhaps more significantly a tribute to the Timbers Army and their iconic scarves.

Digby Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Would have to very careful not to overdo the kelly green in such a scenario, otherwise they'll end up with neither kit providing great contrast vs Seattle and possibly some blue teams too. But I'm a "maximize contrast" fan. Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Remember when the Sounders had to change jerseys at half time since the black and green were too close? Looks ok here but it was horrible live. And Sounders would have won if they would have kept the black on for the full match Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting... I was unaware of the connection to the supporters scarves. If done well that could be a really nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that could certainly be an issue, but I think solid white sleeves, a mostly solid white back, and solid white shorts and socks would provide sufficient contrast in such scenarios.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 That ref was an ass, Oba got injured in extra time, and that game essentially nuked the 2015 Sounders season. The white shirts look pretty nice over green shorts though. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint's actions at the end of that match were inexcusable, though. I'd say that's enough on that subject, otherwise we run the risk of derailing this whole thread with Timbers/Sounders rivalry banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wences Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Yesterday, Alavés wore Baskonia (basketball team from the same city, Vitoria-Gasteiz) against Sevilla showing the mutual suppot between the two clubs. http://www.marca.com/baloncesto/acb/2017/03/06/58bdc2d9468aebbd188b4626.html Previously, Baskonia did the same, wearing a blue and white jersey.
