That's quite sharp. I still can't get over the massive stripes on the shoulder. I don't think that looks good on anybody. I agree. Looks great except for the huge shoulder stripes. Not sure why everyone didn't just opt for the LAFC tone/tone style for them. I mean especially for Cinci who could've easily used the dark blue for the stripes on the royal.

This uniform specifically makes tall playerslook shorter than they actually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 The stripes and the thick, high collar look like something from World Cup 98. I think that's why I don't like them. Everywhere else in sports things are getting more simple, smaller, less in your face, and then Adidas is like "HEY STRIPES!!!!!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but Sebastian Blanco has the same issues as well. i think it's how bulky the sleeves look on players that have smaller arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanco is 5’6”, one inch taller than Latif Blessing.

Again, an odd choice to illustrate your original point: I'm specifically pointing out the sleeves which are bloomers compared to the tighter versions we've seen before. adidas also has normally fit significantly tighter on the players cut than the fan cut. Here's the regular home shirts with tighter sleeves compared to the jersey he's wearing previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radchad Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Agree that the giant shoulder stripes are a major distraction on most of the kits, but I actually really like them in this one specific case: Probably because there's historical precedent for DC United wearing three giant stripes across their torso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because I want those strights across the front too. It reminds me of when everyone in the NFL had to wear the Elite 51 when Nike took over. Some teams made sure to avoid the toilet bowls and the flywire but everyone still had that same cut college teams had been using for years instead of a new cut for the pro teams.

Definitely closer to gold than Nashville’s almost-neon shade of yellow, but still not athletic gold. RSL uses more of a true athletic gold, while the Timbers have a mustardy gold, and Atlanta, LAFC, and Philly all have metallic gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s how I see it: Teams that use gold (and is gold): Atlanta, LAFC, Philadelphia and Portland Teams that use yellow (but referred to as gold): Columbus, RSL, Nashville.
