Images show all gold which is disappointing, I hope that they use mainly blue shorts. Otherwise that’s two teams wearing all yellow, and Nashville’s yellow isn’t exactly eye pleasing.

upperV03 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Here’s a mockup of what the full Miami Primary will likely look like: The leaked replica version had a plain white collar and plain white cuffs, but the authentic version will likely have pink trim, just like how the authentic version of Nashville’s primary has navy trim on the collar and cuffs. They don’t have a sponsor yet, and it remains to be seen whether they’ll have one by the start of the season or not. Also, I’m still trying to replicate the letterforms of the new league-wide font, which is why there’s no name on this mockup. I hope to have that done soon, and I hope to have mockups of the Miami secondary and possibly Minnesota’s primary done here soon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THRILLHO Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Just a thought on Miami...I wonder if they will encounter challenges that are market specific for getting a shirt sponsor. I may be wrong. But Marlins Park is 8 years old and still without a naming rights deal. Joe Robbie Stadium has had numerous names and many of those were sponsor less (also Landshark which was a one year joke deal). Perhaps that market doesn’t have an appetite for major sponsorship deals. Maybe not though. I would totally buy an Inter Miami kit with Pollo Tropical on the front.

At least Columbus doesn’t need to take it personally or worry about market confusion. Can’t imagine what kind of meetings approved THAT as a signature color. Ugly tint or not, as a Crew fan this still feels like some very real encroachment. And from what I've seen, other Crew fans agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Well, you’ll have to accept that in a league this large there might be another club in a yellow shirt. It’s like the Bruins fans who still get snippy about the Penguins’ color scheme. Moreover, it’s what you do with the colors, and Nashville isn’t doing anything like what Columbus does. Not to mention that this isn’t anywhere near the same color. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Is the Nashville shirt yellow and black, or yellow and that blue/purple color they have?

Gothamite Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I’m wondering when was the last time a professional league required its teams to have a unique color scheme. I know the NFL did in the 1940s. To get around this, the Packers officially listed their colors as “navy, gold and green” to avoid a clash with the Los Angeles Rams’ navy and gold. Even though Curly’s sweatshirt was the closest they got to actually wearing green. The NFL only had ten teams at that point, but even so they struggled a bit to create fully unique color schemes. We can’t expect a modern league not to have some duplications and overlaps. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I mean, sure there are a few duplications, but on the whole MLS has a pretty diverse aesthetic. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THRILLHO Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I have no skin in the game but a Crew complaint over this feels like a child saying “you’re copying me”. Burnley, Villa, and West Ham all exist with the same basic template for a uniform. I can’t see why two yellow teams is a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosioux76 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I think it's going to be a real challenge for the St. Louis franchise to come up with something distinct, especially for a region that leans so heavily toward blue and red, thanks to the existing franchises. A red, blue, yellow combo would made sense, considering the colors of city's (fantastic) flag, but would hardly stand out in the league. The navy and dark green of Saint Louis F.C. would be unique to MLS (and before you start, yes, I know the Sounders are blue and green, and no it's not the same) but MLS4TheLou appears pretty intent on distancing itself from the USL franchise.

This represents such a missed opportunity on Inter Miami's part. They should have really owned pink in their primary kits. Pink jerseys, black shorts, black socks for evening matches and either a pink/white/white or pink/white/pink ensemble for day games. A white or black jersey could have been the centerpiece of their change kits. This... this just strikes me as "meh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Cincy updated the background image on their website to this: Last year many of their graphics included the stripe design that ended up being on their primary kit, so this definitely seems like an indication that they will indeed have a half and half design on their new primaries. Based on the “leak” we’ve seen (which was someone’s rough mockup), the teasers put out by FCC, and some info I’ve seen on twitter and reddit, I think the half and half design will likely be pretty subtle and will be made up of the two shades of blue at the bottom of that background image. The mockup included an orange collar and cuffs, but I think they’ll both be blue in actuality, at least based on this (poor quality) leaked image: Seeing as you can spot the orange Adidas stripes in that image, I think we’d be able to spot an orange collar and/or cuffs as well, so I think it’s likely that those are blue.

Considering the single-manufacturer deal and everything else, MLS still does a pretty good job of that I think (assuming SKC and NYCFC have settled on who gets mostly navy trim and who gets mostly white trim). Or in regards to SKC's current set, who gets to have bluish-grayish trim. God I hate SKC's current uniforms. The goofy "glitch" design sucks, the gray shorts suck, the road jersey being a boring black uniform sucks, it all sucks. I really liked the look they had when they swapped from being the team with dark blue trim and to the white trim (while NYC did the opposite). Especially looking at it now, after staring at the drab set they have now, these are like a breath of fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
