Agreed. You can see the shorts in the kit reveal illustration, but it would’ve been nice if they could’ve shown the actual shorts and socks. That said, here’s a mockup of what the full kit is likely to look like: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WarriorFight 159 Posted January 2 I don't dislike NE. Their primary grew on me, especially on the pitch. I imagine this will do the same. The first out the gate is always subject, usually, to the most criticism, at least from what I've noticed. The new secondary isn't amazing, but I don't think it's bad. Just bland, but the same can be said of a large majority of MLS change/secondary kits. Looking forward to finding out who Seattle's new sponsor will be. But, PLEASE, Saint Thorrington and Saint Bradley, show me what our new kit is going to be. I don't want to wait till the last possible minute for it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digby 3,055 Posted January 2 10 hours ago, Gothamite said: It’s a change kit. Stepping outside the regular color scheme is a feature, not a bug. I understand how change kits work, but that has never been New England's M.O. with these (nor has it been for many MLS teams). So this one's surprising to me. Their only previous attempt at breaking the regular color scheme was that red kit from 2015, and that wasn't really much of a departure and it had the obvious influence of the New England battle flag. I'm not seeing a clear reference here; I do wonder if there's anything to this and last year's home kit going in a more double-blue direction instead of the traditional navy and red. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saathoff 60 Posted January 2 On 1/1/2019 at 9:13 AM, Gothamite said: A jersey week is a great idea. But why hold it in February, two months after the biggest shopping season on the calendar? The NFL is hamstrung by its schedule, not wanting to announce new uniforms while the old ones are still playing. But MLB does a great job of leveraging their off-season to unveil new looks before the holidays, and even the NBA has started to do that with their special alternates, dropping them right when people are looking to spend money. MLS is missing an opportunity here. Unfortunately, most clubs didn't get their kits yet from adidas. At Sporting we only have 5-10 tops right now, mostly because we asked for them early to start photoshoots. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the clubs and league wanted them in stores before the holidays, they would. Even if it meant moving up the entire process by a few months; they do it this way because they want to do it this way. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're simply not ready. It's still pulling teeth to even get that. The entire shipment comes in late January for every club. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that's not the retail schedule. But what makes you think that the club wanted them in stores in December? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

upperV03 5,451 Posted January 2 The Revs put out this article on their new secondary kit this morning: https://www.revolutionsoccer.net/post/2019/01/02/new-year-new-kit-introducing-colonial-revs-2019-20-secondary Stated in the article is that the shirt will be paired primarily with light blue shorts, but there are alternate navy shorts to be worn occasionally as well. The socks are apparently white (what they’re calling the color of the broad chest stripe) with navy and light blue trim. The article also confirms that the New England flag is on the back of the neck. Here’s an updated mockup of the full kit to reflect all of that info: 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaleVermilion81 1,378 Posted January 2 That's interesting with the blue shorts. I like them. Is there a chance they could be worn with the blue jerseys? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’ve slowly been transitioning to the green and gold scheme over the last couple of years, so I’m glad to see them finally make it official. This also means that their official version of the MLS badge is likely changing to one of these options (the only difference between the two is the color of the text and stars): 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
