JELKK Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Tradition aside, the black side panels on a purple background just look bad to me because the colors don't contrast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Noire Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Holy crap. These look really good, and then the purple one showed up. Why were the black panels used? I guess this firmly plants the purple as just an alternate and not the true road uniform. I don’t really care for the yellow at home thing (I prefer the white), but purple on the road was cool. A yellow road uni is gonna take some getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msu Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Black can be done well, but I don't really understand it here on the purple jersey. Reminds me a bit of Illinois randomly adding black panels to their navy jerseys in the mid-00s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colortv Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The black panel is an abomination for the following reasons: 1. It's not part of the color scheme 2. It's inclusion serves no particular purpose 3. It just looks off aesthetically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case, then perhaps it could be the classic purple uniform without the black stripes. Maybe it’ll even have the era appropriate white number with yellow drop shadow. Regardless of what they do with the City Edition, I am disappointed in the primary purple set because that one is here to stay whereas the City one is planned obsolescence. The rest of the set is great. The purple is a slap in the face to tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference here being those were for sure "alternates" while this purple is sort of pretending to be a main "ish" jersey and it screws everything up.
