That’s our first look at LAFC’s sleeve sponsor (we knew it was gonna be Target, but hadn’t seen it on the kit), but not our first look at a sleeve sponsor overall, as Atlanta’s was leaked a while back: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 As an Atlanta fan, I wish our sleeve sponsors was treated more similar to LAFC. Use gold text on top of the stripes. It would be perfectly legible as we’ve seen from the AmFam chest sponsor. I don’t like the black text amidst the gold box. It looks like an afterthought whereas LAFC’s is much cleaner. Maybe we can get that adjusted on 2021’s new primary kit. Going back to LAFC, I was hoping they’d use this new kit as their chance to fix the MLS patch. It’s the same as the last two seasons but nowhere on the kit is there any white besides the MLS patch. It sticks out too much and should be strictly black and gold. Shame.

This would look so much better in just black and gold. Better than the original, though: Especially since they got rid of the red and white in the YouTubeTV logo.

upperV03 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Looks like San Jose’s new secondary kits will have blue shorts and socks: They debuted these in today’s preseason friendly against Columbus. There could still be white clash shorts and/or socks as well, but nice to see that they’ll have a blue shorts and socks option after their last secondaries only had white shorts and socks.

upperV03 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 RSL will finally have yellow names/numbers on their new primaries: This is something they should’ve done a long time ago. The white names/numbers always stuck out IMO, and now that the LifeVantage logo is yellow on their new shirt it’s only right that the names/numbers are too.

That name is only six characters long and the shirt looks like it could fit about two more comfortably. I wonder if they’ll have a narrow version like the old design. I don’t see this new font working for guys like this who didn’t need the narrow font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Well, I'll be saving some money this season. From where I'm sitting, the new LAFC jersey looks like absolute s**t. The egregiously wide cuffs on the sleeves. The nearly-as-abysmal collar width. The awkward manner in which the torso, yoke, and collar come together. The dopey three stripes adorning the right shoulder. All of said shortcomings overwhelm the pleasing rendering of the YouTubeTV sponsor logo in monotone gold and the subtle vertical striping on the front of the shirt. Hard pass.

You're complaining about the LAFC jersey but it's arguably the least affected jersey by the new template compared to all the other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the logo that's brought out at their stores, it should be the one they put on Minnesota and LAFC's kits too. It's like McDonalds not putting the name under the arches.

Adidas has a weird habit of using different sized fonts for teams. They had this issue with the 2006 nameplates. If it was 5 letters or longer they used a smaller and more compact font. This is why nameplates don't need to match the number fonts all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with this? Besides, Target does use the logo without wordmark in other applications. I would put this one in the same realm as Starbucks and Nike. Why would use a wordmark version when you can create a graphic that speaks so well without it? The best designs need no explanation. Nike's check says the name loudly enough without the actual word, as does Target's target. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Yes, as a season ticket-holding supporter of Los Angeles Football Club, I'm complaining about the LAFC jersey. Which, for the reasons I listed, I feel looks like s**t when compared to said team's original primary jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any kit that gets used for every single team in the league will have that issue. If these were an alternate for a couple random dates on the schedule, I think they could be forgiven. But if this is your primary for two years? I'd be pretty upset too. That's my biggest complaint about these 2020 kits across the board. They're supposed to represent the 25th anniversary of the league, but they rip off current Euro 2020 team designs, have no designs that were used in 1996, and not a single one has anything that hearkens back to the first year of the league except for one of the original teams' badges that hadn't been changed since then, which is the New England Revolution.

Gothamite Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 They better have a narrow version. NYCFC has several players that will need one. I'm curious to see how this font responds to being squashed. Think they might have been better off saving the in-line for the numbers and using a simplified version for the NOB.
