kylonian 15 Posted December 1, 2020 Since we have already had our first release with Austin's inaugural primary, I felt it was time to open the discussion for next year. Expected new releases would be: Atlanta - Primary Austin - Primary & Secondary Chicago - Secondary or Both? (replace the white t-shirt at least) Cincinnati - Primary? (guessing they wouldn't change the secondary three times in three years) Colorado - Secondary Columbus - Primary Dallas - Secondary DCU - Secondary Houston - Both for rebrand? (otherwise primary with changed logos for secondary) LAFC - Secondary LA Galaxy - Secondary Miami - Primary? #PrayForPink Minnesota - Secondary Montreal - Primary Nashville - Primary? (the less bespoke design) New England - Secondary NYCFC - Primary NYRB - Primary Orlando - Primary Philadelphia - Secondary Portland - Primary RSL - Secondary San Jose - Primary Seattle - Secondary SKC - Primary Toronto - Primary Vancouver - Primary A lot of white secondaries hopefully to be replaced by a wider variety of colours. Thoughts? Expectations? Wishes? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaleVermilion81 1,998 Posted December 1, 2020 My hope is that they realized fans don't want all mono white uniforms. I love seeing white kits with colored shorts like Philly, San Jose, Dallas, Vancouver. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Possibly, although I think the design phase for the new kit(s) would have started long before they made the announcement to change the logo again? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Design should have been completed, but the team could decide to just roll with what they have and save the designs for the next rebrand. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digby 6,104 Posted December 1, 2020 This is not the 2021 FC Dallas kit, which is too bad because I really like it! https://www.footyheadlines.com/2020/11/fake-this-is-not-fc-dallas-2021-away-kit.html 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the Nike collar on an Adidas shirt is a pretty solid giveaway. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DG_ThenNowForever 15,284 Posted December 1, 2020 Seattle has decided their secondary kit should be wacky more years than not, so I'm excited to see what they come up with for next season. They already did Austin FC five years ago and just wrapped up Inter Miami. They've done Nashville SC several years ago as well. Maybe they'll go blue and orange to homage Cincinnati? Or red and purple/blue to beat St. Louis to the punch? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
upperV03 7,364 Posted December 1, 2020 Back in the spring when the new Thorns kits were unveiled Merritt Paulson started hyping up the Timbers’ new 2021 primaries: I’m certainly intrigued by his assessment of the 2022 secondaries, but that’s not really relevant for this next season. What really gets me excited for now is him describing the new 2021 primaries as “maybe the best we have had”, a “surefire megahit”, and a “slam dunk”. MP pretty much always hypes up the new kits, but those are some pretty strong words even for him. I’m fully expecting the new primaries to be good, but they’ll be hard pressed to top the last two absolutely fantastic primaries: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QCS 2,327 Posted December 1, 2020 Wow, how disappointing. I may not have been the biggest fan of the name but it's better than Montreal FC. Why not find a cool French name, since St. Louis didn't use it something like Olympique Montreal would be neat. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digby 6,104 Posted December 1, 2020 I tend to think that it doesn't matter what other cool French names are. "Impact" sounds kinda dorky but it's one of the few words that works in French and English, which is clever and smart for a team that is quite clear about trying to appeal to both communities in Montreal. More importantly it's established, at nearly 30 years in now, and I don't think there's any good reason to toss that aside unless your name is racist. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So many people complain about the lack of history in the US and Canada... and then those same people turn around and suggest that so many long-term names should be changed. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been saying this for years. You don't build tradition by abandoning the history you've already established. Limp act, L'Impact. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a shame they’ll be another FC, but anything to get rid of that awful name. If it’s not NASL or 1996 MLS (even then, the jury’s out), get with the rest of the world’s traditions. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
