Digby Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 MLS rarely seems to mind at a high level when two teams have the same color shorts. I know sometimes teams change shorts, but it seems arbitrary when they do and when they don't.

4_tattoos Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Am I seeing things, or was that New England/Orlando match on grass? Or did the Patriots decide to install a new, visually realistic turf? Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 There was a Benfica/AC Milan match at Foxboro yesterday, must’ve been one of those ICC things. I guess that requires grass, even the temporary patchwork type.

upperV03 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Pretty nice kit matchup at last night’s All Star Game: Nice to see the MLS All Stars have white shorts to go with the purple tops and socks, which in turn allowed Atléti to don their traditional home strip.

All Star unis should always be based on the team hosting. It allows for different color combinations that make for more aesthetically pleasing games.

I found purple to be tough to watch against a team wearing predominantly red and royal blue (for the five minutes I tuned in). And it's strange for, say, Atlanta's Martinezes to wear what's effectively an Orlando kit. But I am glad that Atletico stayed away from wearing an unremarkable third-kit look, as so many MLS all-star opponents do.

And it's strange for, say, Atlanta's Martinezes to wear what's effectively an Orlando kit. I'd compare them to the NBA All Star game. If LeBron's on the team in Charlotte wearing a teal uniform, are we going to compare it to him wearing a Hornets jersey? Even though the colors are similar, the patterns and lack of gold were enough to let me know they weren't wearing an Orlando City uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 My assumption is Portland green v Seattle black/pink would be too dark/dark, so they went with at least a dark/light(ish) contrast. You can't ask Portland to wear white at home, though don't they have white shorts? That could have helped again Seattle in black. In any event, tonight is a great argument for MLS to go back to home/road/clash. This is a clash situation. 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...

Digby Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Portland has never been averse to wearing the away kits at home; tonight would have been a legitimately useful time to do that.

And this is why third kits shouldn't be required to have a resale number attached to them. Seattle's alternate would have been better, but it would still look ugly.

upperV03 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I was very surprised to see both teams wearing their primaries last night. It was the first time they’ve done that since both teams joined MLS. I didn’t think it was awful, especially after the sun went down, but it was definitely less than ideal. I do think the Timbers’ white shorts would’ve helped slightly, but not that much. Plus, the Timbers’ keepers were in white, which is probably why they elected not to wear the white shorts. I think Seattle probably could’ve worn their secondaries, especially if they wore the pink clash socks they debuted in the Open Cup against the Timbers earlier in the summer: Had the Sounders worn that combo, and the Timbers had gone green/white/green, I think that would’ve been enough contrast and probably better than the double green matchup. The best solution still would’ve been for the Timbers to wear their secondaries at home, but I can understand them not wanting to be forced into wearing their secondaries at home against their biggest rivals. I think if it was that big of a deal they probably could’ve come to an agreement with the Sounders where, if the Timbers decided to wear their secondaries to avoid a clash, that the Sounders would refrain from wearing their primaries and would instead wear their secondaries as well. All in all I actually thought it was kind of fun seeing both teams wearing their primaries against one another since they’ve never done that in MLS and since it is such a big rivalry, but it definitely wasn’t the most visually appealing matchup. Chances are the league won’t allow it to happen again because there were quite a few people complaining about it on Twitter, and even the commentators made a couple comments about it.

Gothamite Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I’m just glad NYCFC wore their navy shorts last night. We’ve had far too much mono-sky this season, a vastly inferior look.

RayFinkle Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Sick and tired of seeing Philly Union in all dark blue. Game after game, year after year. No white shorts at home?? Or white socks? Lucky me gets to see it up close and personal this Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
