4_tattoos Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Watching the 96 MLS Cup on ESPN2 right now. Good lord, soccer uniforms sure have evolved. The shorts aren't too visually different from what's worn nowadays, but the jerseys.... WOW! They were practically wearing baggy polo shirts back then. At what point did soccer jerseys shift to the more form fitting, athletic fit shirts we have today? Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually say the advent of tighter fitting jerseys was in 2001 when Colorado was outfitted by Kappa. Those jerseys were almost like biking jerseys they were so tight: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relevant tweet: The 2000 Kappa Combat first seen on Italy in Euro 2000 were groundbreaking because they were extremely form fitting just a few years after football shirts reached peak baggyness in the late 90’s. The trend then continued to be form fitting up until the early 2010’s, with the adidas techfit shirts and (especially) Puma, which were basically corsets in moisture wicking fabrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt uncomfortable watching Italy in the 2014 (I think?) World Cup. There's tight-fitting, and then there's "I know what you had for dinner" fitting. I know this is just a model, but you can see his individual abs here. It's just too much. 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...

PaleVermilion81 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 That's been there training gear sponsor for a few years I think. I think it's pretty common to have different training gear sponsors. Minnesota does as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Yep, very common. Seems as though training gear sponsors tend to be more local, since the exposure is more local. I know many NYCFC fans would rather have this on the game shirts than a foreign airline that barely has any presence in the city. What's interesting to me is whether clubs sell training gear with the sponsor or not. In NYC's case, the sponsor version is only offered at one place - Yankee Stadium during matches. Everywhere else it's logo-free. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I am curious about the type of person who, offered the blank version or the sponsored version as an otherwise-equal choice, wants to wear the sponsor.

They're likely looking for an air of authenticity, that they're wearing the same thing the players are wearing. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Gothamite Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 That’s it. NYCFC does sell some training gear with the sponsor. Not a lot, but some people apparently do what that “authentic” air. I’m sure if MLS offered game shirts without the sponsor, there would be a percentage of people thinking they looked “bootleg” or “inauthentic”. Advertising is a powerful lure.

Digby Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I guess that's what I assumed, but man... weird. Capitalism is a hell of a drug.

I think that's why they stayed away from beer sponsors once they started selling jerseys with the ads already on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnPheitseog Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Yeah, i'm the type of person that needs to have the in game jerseys look exactly as they do on the field. That said, i like buying polos and such sponsor free, even if the players/coaches have them with sponsors. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
