I also don't like teams switching between the home and away kit for home games. Columbus is really bad about this. Man United would never wear their pink kit at home and neither should the Crew wear an alternate kit at home. At least, in Columbus’ case, both home and away are team colors. SKC, Vancouver, and Seattle, however, are inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Clash kits shouldn't be “team colors”. They should be a way for clubs to go crazy and follow the latest trend without having to mess with their main look. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I don't see what the problem is with doing it. It'll generate more money for all parties involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Adidas puts the MLS clubs on the same sales quota as the big Euro clubs. Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like subtle patterns that are viewable from a distance. Unlike the stupid Loons jerseys this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I like the design a lot. I wish it wasn't purple, though. I feel weird about design for MLS All-Star Games; feels strange to have the team look like a knockoff of whomever the host team is, but I also want there to be SOME local flavor. I'm also worried that this design will force Atletico Madrid to change into an away kit instead of the red/white stripes, which is stupid to me.

Usually they like to use a mix of red, blue or white. But since Atletico Madrid is the opponent that wasn't possible as long as Atletico wore their standard home layout. They used that same horrible pattern template that's being used on pregame jerseys but it works with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Juve wore their secondary kits last year so I don’t think they base the design on what the opposition wears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but black and white stripes could clash sufficiently. Not last year's Juve or next year's but a regular set would have. I think Orlando probably asked that this year's kit match their colors while Atlanta had to deal with adidas' "Retro collection" that they were applying to everything last year.

WBeltz Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Looks like Miami is going white (with pale pink) & black kits for next year if this report is correct. I'm a little bummed out and was hoping for a pink home. I guess there's always 2021. https://www.footyheadlines.com/2019/06/inter-miami-2020-inaugural-mls-home-away-kits.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite having a good variety of color combos, the league has too much black and white in regard to kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocker. Didn't see an MLS team doing that. Edit: Also annoyed that yet another MLS team has all single color kits. At least give them different colored socks or shorts.

Digby Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I actually don’t hate the sound of this. As I said before, all-white is a very Miami look, and all-black is a natural complement for the clash kit. Seems like they’ll be good kits for this team, and it’s too bad similar choices are foisted upon so many MLS teams for whom it doesn’t fit.

I hope it just means for 2020 that teams avoid going with black/white change kits so there isn't an issue when playing against Miami. So far I can think of the following who have white or black kits that should be changing: Vancouver: Currently Black/Dark Grey Change (change in 2020) Atlanta: Currently White/peach (Change in 2020) San Jose: Currently White (Change in 2020) Portland: Currently White (Change in 2020) Orlando: Currently white (Change in 2020) Houston: currently black/orange (change in 2020) Columbus: currently black (change in 2020) I'm sure I'm missing a few, and save for Columbus and Houston who have always had black change kits, hopefully the ones above find a different color to change to that ISN'T white or black.

I like the idea of those teal Parley kits as a possible second as well, but MLS doesn't believe in using clash kits with colors that aren't part of the primary kit. a dark pink short and socks with black socks would be nice too. 1 hour ago, WBeltz said: I hope it just means for 2020 that teams avoid going with black/white change kits so there isn't an issue when playing against Miami.

I'd love for the original MLS teams to have some sort of retro throwback next year as well since it would be the 25th season on Major League Soccer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes particular sense given the current 90s revival fad. But I worry that’s not Generic FC enough for today’s MLS regime.

PrimalCookie Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I expected all-white, so I’m ok with it. However, I think they should’ve done black/pink/black with the away, or even a teal away with black and white accents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I can get with this teal movement. Sorely underutilized. Always thought the Sounders should've been a teal team.
