Love that graphic print, as it fits nicely with the “Earthquakes” name and current brand, as well as the old “Clash” brand as well. I would’ve liked it even more had they used some of the old Clash colors, but it’s still pretty nice as is.

upperV03 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I’m not thrilled at another recycled graphic for this season’s MLS kits, but I happen to think this particular graphic fits in pretty nicely with the Quakes’ brand. But yeah, the point still stands that Adidas’ effort on this year’s kits seems like it’s taken a serious step down from previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb6 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Have we seen a truly “unique” team-specific graphic/pattern yet this year? It seems like adidas hasn’t come up with anything special this year, which is really disappointing compared to last year. I’m a fan of a lot of the kits, especially the Dynamo, Timbers, and Union, but none of it feels special. Perhaps adidas decided to give team specific designs every other year so there’s always at least one unique design, and then mail it in on the other kit?

The Revs' racing stripe is unique, but also kinda sucks, so. Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Leak of the Rapids home: This is showing the replica version, the authentic will have light blue trim on the collar: There better be light blue shorts and/or striped socks, because so far this is looking like another incredibly uninspired effort.

upperV03 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Just realized the pattern on the new Whitecaps secondary is yet another recycled design, this time from Spain’s Euro 2016 home shirt: I knew that pattern looked familiar, I just couldn’t think of where I’d seen it before until now.

Digby Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Much like the Quakes, they could've at least used one of those recycled zig-zag designs onto the Rapids' shirt and called it mountain-inspired with a little bit of credibility. Instead it looks like a training shirt. Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know what happens when you root for Nike to take over a league, but it's pretty bad this season. 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...

I have a feeling adidas did the "spin sale" of be a great tie into the 2018 World Cup and use some of the countries jersey as a template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The new Rapids primary officially unveiled: Blue shorts! And it looks like they’ll have both burgundy socks and light blue socks in case of clashes. I still wish the shirt had some sort of graphic or texture to it, but the kit as a whole is pretty nice. I’m thrilled to see them shift away from the Arsenal look and go with blue shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 the letters between "S" and "thorpe" spell out an unkind reference to certain human body parts. Might have to add an extra letter in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
