I'd say they're going in on their team name, they're also using what looks like a blown up version of England's away shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The execution is pretty good, but they're a miss from me, almost certainly because I don't like the Thorns as a black-heavy team. The fan base seems to really like it, which is all that ultimately matters, but to me, the Thorns are best as a red-heavy team. I at least greatly prefer the color balance on either of these looks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Love these Thorns kits. My only quibble would be on the typeface used for the BAON neckline. I read it as BRON at first. For those of you wondering what BAON stands for, here's what the Riveters supporters group says about it Quote By Any Other Name is the narrative of the Riveters, a nod to the Rose City, and a pledge to the Thorns. Regardless of what we call ourselves, what the club calls itself, what the names of the women who wear our badge are, we will support with all we have.

The flowers being so large are a bit much so I bought the away jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re the only NWSL club getting kits on Nike’s latest templates. I have to say these really do look fantastic. I’m still not totally sold on the idea of black primaries, but it’s something that a lot of Thorns fans here have been clamoring for, and it does look quite nice. The away is an upgrade from last year in that the pattern is much more visible and more relevant to the team, but some red accenting would’ve been nice and really put it over the top. Social CBD is the new training gear sponsor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Can always count on Houston's soccer teams to have pretty good kits, at least. Though the sponsor logo is one of the all-time worst.

MJWalker45 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Got the men's version of the Thorns away shirt. This is a L. I'm a bit rounder near the center as well. The sleeves are a little tighter than the last replica design but not by much. The only thing it's missing is the raised pattern on the chest and sleeves, but that was expected.

vtgco Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Looks like Orlando released a new away jersey; they're calling it the "White Plume" kit. Apparently, it's swan themed because of swans on Lake Eola. It's not terrible for a mostly blank white jersey, but I'd appreciate some more color somewhere...

Digby Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Looks like it could’ve been recycled from New Zealand. Nice enough, though. Overall a very strong year for NWSL design.

Digby Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 In general I think we need to get some better photographers for these NWSL teams. We've got kit unveils featuring Birkenstocks and chain-link fences. Red Stars HQ needs to start image-consulting for their rivals, apparently. Can't tell if the Spirit stripes are playing tricks on my eyes. Are they gold?

crashcarson15 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I feel like there are a lot of things about that Spirit shirt I shouldn't like, but I actually think it kinda works and like the overall look. I'm a huge fan of prominently pairing both navy and a bright red in general — it's such a good look to me (ditto for why I love D.C. United with red shorts). Sky Blue in with an effort I think works pretty well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they weren't allowed in the stadium and decided on this instead of finding a spot at the training grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtgco Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 And... the Reign have finally released their first uniforms under their new ownership: As generic as the lion crest At least they kept a blue jersey, but definitely not feeling the heavy red trim on the primary white kit. 12 hours ago, crashcarson15 said: Sky Blue in with an effort I think works pretty well: Overall pretty cool, but I feel like they could've made the different shades of blue/teal of the crest, sponsor, and design work together a tad better. 13 hours ago, MJWalker45 said: Washington Spirit have released their new kit. It's alright, but the Spirit seem traditionally more red-dominant than navy-dominant to me, so this feels kinda backwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
