aawagner011 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 It seems late for LAFC to debut their first kits. If I recall, the last few expansion sides debuted at least one kit leading up to Christmas. I know for sure Atlanta did, and I want to say Orlando and NYC, as well.

Yes - NYCFC unveiled both of its inaugural kits the November before their first season. LAFC has missed a holiday gift-giving season for presumably no reason. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Whats your take on all the “stuff” on MLS jerseys, specifically the extras like the graphics on the jock tag and back neck? Clutter, or added value?

Clutter, or added value? Definitely added value. I'm not a huge fan of hanger effects, on the inside of the collar, but even those I'm okay with. I understand that clubs want to put these little details on their shirts, and would so much rather have jock tags than extra stripes or trim or piping. This is pretty damn close to my Platonic ideal of an Adidas NYCFC kit: The little city flag just gives it that extra little touch. Doesn't distract from the relatively simple and clean design, but adds a bit of local color. So long as we're talking one small detail on the front, and maybe one small detail on the back, I think that can add a lot. Anything more than that might descend into clutter.

Yeah, but MNUFC's whole kit design process was rushed. They had just seven months to get everything ready. LAFC unveiled its badge and color scheme just over two years ago. There's really no reason for them to still be sitting on their inaugural kits. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Jer15 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Wouldn't it be kind of funny if LAFC just didn't have an unveiling? They just walk onto the pitch and we see the look for the first time? I donno why but that idea amuses me.

pepis21 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Oh I didn't notice, my bad. I hope Galaxy will bring back stripe design from 1997 in near future to break sash routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 14 hours ago, DG_Now said: The Adidas stripes on the sleeves looks dumb. Remember when the Galaxy were a premier MLS franchise? It seems like so long ago. My favorite Galaxy set was the early Beckham one: I know it was just a template, but it looked really cool. And the switch to blue/gold looked so much better than the prior yellow/green set. I always thought it was unfortunate that Beckham's great sea-changing arrival was worn such a dated template. The whole thing is very mid-00s. They subtly ditched the banana slug graphic by the next year, though: That new sash look is a new-color version of the sash they wore in yellow and green just prior to Beckham's arrival. I'd be curious to see if the green makes more of a presence in the next couple years, with LAFC's black/gold look kinda encroaching on the navy/yellow look.

PaleVermilion81 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 So weird the white kit is the one that is gone, considering they were clearancing out the gray/blue sash jerseys but not the white at the last few home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutter, or added value? I think it's a way to try to get extra sales on the authentics since these little touches aren't offered on the replicas. With last year's Columbus Crew authentics having the state flag on it, I almost would have considered getting them because of the extra touches, but I can wait until the year is over and get them at a discount. 3 hours ago, Gothamite said: Definitely added value.

I do wish that the title stars were included on the replicas as well. I think MLS is the only ones that do not allow this. Then again it's the only league that owns all the team identities that I'm aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Here’s an update to my Union mockup, with a shade of gold that better matches their social media graphics: Again, this is just to show how their generic home kit design could end up looking like with the lighter gold and on this season’s Adidas template. I don’t know any details about the specific design elements of their new primary kit, so in that respect this mockup is just a guess on my part. Also, now that we’ve seen a leak of the Galaxy shirt, I’ll start working on a full kit mockup for them later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually didn't like our whites this year. I wouldn't mind a return to the NASL days where our primaries were a proper dark gray and then our secondaries were light blue.

PaleVermilion81 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Preach it! I hated the number colors. All they had to do was match the color of the bullseye. The color balance would've been perfect, and more importantly, legible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no insider information but this is what I assumed would happen, given the slapdash nature of the initial set. The white kit was the particularly dated and templatey of the two so I guess if we're only dumping one, that's the better one to dump.
