MLS Kits, 2020

[crashcarson15 2,466]

Green and black stripes have always looked good on Preußen Münster when they wear them, so I’m very cool with that. Just wish Adidas would learn you can put stripes on the back of an MLS jersey too.

I’m starting to hate Austin FC, although not necessarily by their fault (unless they got their brand from ripping off the Sounders’ GOAT Pitch Black jerseys).

 

Basically they found a better shade of light/bright green than the Sounders, and now they are doing the exact style I wanted the Sounders to do (blue/green vertical stripes).

 

Also: we used to have the cool sponsor in the league (XBox) now they do (Yeti) and we are stuck with freaking Zulily.

 

Oh well, I can still hold out hope for a Sounders checkerboard design someday... although that will probably get swiped by one of the next 47 teams on the way to MLS.

Not really a fan of the Austin look.  I think a solid green jersey with black shorts and green socks would have been a better option.  Also wondering if any MLS team will use hoops again.  Seems like a very undervalued look.  Hoops on Austin might be an improvement, and greater distinction from Atlanta.

Austin’s kit is good but we need more variety in MLS. More hoops, sashes, pinstripes, checkers, Arsenal style sleeves, etc. The league is way too bland right now.

Seattle invented the color green.

Agreed but you can't fault Austin. They will be one of only a few teams with an identifying jersey element. (ATL stripes, Galaxy sash, MTL stripes) All the other teams kits identities are pretty much plain.

 

Dallas used to have the hoops.

Minnesota SHOULD continue with the loon wing

Minnesota also should make their grey darker and bring back blue numbers. Oh, and ditch the white kits and bring back light blue

I said it was “better”, how am I saying Seattle invented it??

Austin's jerseys look pretty cool. However, when I see the sponsor I can't help but hear the voice of Tony Schiavone.

This Austin jersey looks absolutely nothing like Seattle

RBNY tweeted they are wearing the grey glitch kit this weekend. Which makes me think Crew will wear black.

[BigRed618 778]

Can’t say I understand the complaints about Austin's shirts. I say count your blessings and be glad it wasn’t another plain black shirt. Besides, this design would lend itself to a cool nickname. Greenblacks has a nice ring to it, methinks.

I think the Austin kit looks great. A classy look with gorgeous colors. Hopefully it inspires more teams to get creative and add some more stripes to their uniforms.

All of this talk about what MLS teams should be wearing has me thinking, I feel like all the teams have the possibility of each having an iconic element on their kits that is easily identifiable for each team. For the most part the teams use this but I put together what I feel like every MLS clubs home kits should include:

Atlanta United FC – red/black stripes

Austin FC- green/black stripes

Chicago Fire- red with white chest stripe (I’m still keeping hope they get rid of this rebrand)

Colorado Rapids- maroon with white sleeves

FC Cincinnati- all blue with orange accents

Columbus Crew SC- all yellow with some form of black checker board trim

D.C. United- black shirt- red shorts

FC Dallas- red and white hoops

Houston Dynamo- orange shirt

Inter Miami- pink shirt

LA Galaxy- white with blue sash

Los Angeles FC- all black

Minnesota United FC-grey with light blue sash (The wings are cool but I think this has longer staying ability)

Montreal Impact- blue/black stripes

Nashville SC- yellow shirt/navy shorts

New England Revolution- navy shirt- red shorts 

New York City FC -Light Blue shirt – white shorts

New York Red Bulls -white shirt- red shorts

Orlando City SC – all purple

Philadelphia Union- navy with gold center stripe
Portland Timbers- all forest green

Real Salt Lake – red with blue sleeves

San Jose Earthquakes – blue shirt- black shorts

Seattle Sounders FC – green shirt- blue shorts

Sporting Kansas City – light blue shirt – navy shorts

Toronto FC- all red

Vancouver Whitecaps FC- white shirt, navy shorts

Nope We've had the wing for a decade. 

 

Edit: less than a decade I guess. We've had the wing kit for 2013-2016, and now they brought it back. So for the majority of this team's history as MNUFC, their primary has been grey kit with black wings.

What he said. ^^  I'm not holding my breath, but I'd love for the wing in some form to become permanent.  But totally miss me with the blue sash anyway.

[njdevs7 815]

The Red Bulls have played their last game in their horrible grey glitch kit. I really wonder what color the next kit will be. It will technically be their "Primary" kit. Will it be white or red?

I think Portland can pull off hoops pretty well, they’ve done it before.

Maybe they could call them rings and have some sort of tree ring narrative in the kit explanation.

Idle playoffs thought: kinda funny that LAFC even have a black keeper kit in the back of the locker room. (Did I see him wearing a black kit in warmups?)
