Here’s the new away kit for Timbers 2, and a couple more looks at the new home kit as well:

That away kit is really nice. This also does seem to confirm that the EQT template MLS teams are using will not trickle to the USL.

This is one of the least-bad jerseys sponsors I can think of.

Not least-bad aesthetically.

New Amsterdam FC is slated to play in the NISA, the same division as the Cosmos. If they ever actually play it could be a fun 2nd New York Derby. I really like the logos and love the name, and It really interested in how they plan to incorporate orange

They killed this, all of the marks look awesome. Here's more on their website-

Excellent identity! Really love the logos, colors, wordmarks, everything. They did a fantastic job.

Love it. Love it.

 

BTW they are rumored to play in the Bronx, out of Fordham's soccer stadium

[Gothamite 23,677]

That's very nice.  I wish I had more faith in NISA; hopefully when it fails they can find a home in the USL.

Forward Madison third kit. I had to grab that jersey.

What color is the back? Is it solid blue? If it's not, I could imagine the name & number being lost.

White numbers should be readable.

I might have to grab these, despite my living in Jersey and not knowing a thing about Forward Madison

[Gothamite 23,677]

Forward Madison bills itself as "The World's Second Favorite Team".  They have a wonderful sense of whimsy that more clubs should adopt.  Right down to their mascot, the plastic lawn flamingo, which is also the official bird of the city of Madison (yes, the plastic one).

Lansing Community released a new crest, and the best crest explanation I've seen. 

 

 

[Gothamite 23,677]

Those are fun.  Forward Madison did something like that a couple years ago.

This absolutely feels like their heat press guy messed up, and instead of freaking out, they just went with it. Knowing what kind of budgets these teams have, there’s no way this started out as something intentional. It’s too big of a risk. Either way, I can’t find a way to think this isn’t stupid. I have no idea what they’re doing down there with that brand, but so far, it’s kind of a mess.

Think the answer is in that reply with upside down beer labels. Otherwise it would just be a bigger cost to apply an upside down crest too, right? Hate that they’re modifying their club crest for a stupid beer promotion

I bet Stone paid for it as part of their promotion.

 

It turns out those upside-down Stone Brewing labels were an ad campaign

 

But yeah.  It's a mess.

If that’s the case, then flip the ad. I can’t believe they messed with the badge, too. Flipping the badge on your kits is bad form enough. But to do it on your road kits in your inaugural season? Makes me wanna bang my head against the wall.
