Digby Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 It’s a bit disappointing that every stripes/hoops team in MLS eventually sees those elements severely diminished, and every X-and-black color scheme eventually moves to mostly-black. (Enjoy your green while you can, Austin!) The first two ATL home kits were very distinctive in the league, something like this could just as easily belong to NYRB or DC United.

gosioux76 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I'm sure it gets tough for kit designers to come up with fresh interpretations for teams like Atlanta, much like we've seen before with Barcelona or AC Milan and Inter Milan. Which is why I wish they'd just ... stop ... trying. Blah blah blah, but jersey sales! blah blah blah. Looks cease to be iconic when you keep screwing it up in the name of innovation. /soapbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFight Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I kind of think that ATL kit is hot. I can see how it'd look tight on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les3couleurs Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Coming from the former Impact radio announcer and his fellow podcasters. Black and grey (silver) with blue accent will be the colors of the Club de Foot de Montréal. Snowflakes on the logo as well as the jerseys.

hendocfc Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Footy Headlines (not going to link to them on here) are claiming the new LA Galaxy secondary/away will bring back the 90s black and green... Would be very welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose in 2015: Blue and black San Jose in 2021: Black and blue Columbus in 2015: Yellow and black Columbus in 2021: Black and yellow Houston in 2015: Orange and white Houston in 2021: Black and orange Atlanta in 2017: Red and black Atlanta in 2021: Black and red Montreal in 2015: Blue and white Montreal in 2020 (since 2021 is TBD still): Black and blue That's 5 teams that made the move to black since 2015, two of them adding it entirely (instead of just switching the balance around). That's not even taking into account the teams that have black away kits despite not having black in their color scheme (Seattle, Kansas City, NYRB). Then finally there's DC, who have been wearing black since the beginning, LAFC, and Miami, who can't seem to decide whether they're a pink team or black team. All in all that's a lot of black in the league. It's why I'm so disappointed Austin went with stripes instead of using their beautiful shade of green for the whole shirt.

JayMac Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I think the majority of MLS franchises would be completely happy with making the whole league black/navy blue vs white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to become the league's eighth roundel (ninth if you count that weird oval Chicago uses). I'm now more curious about that image of a t-shirt with a fleur de lis crest from earlier in the thread. It would seem odd -- or at least, out of the norm -- for them to use the fleur de lis as anything other than a secondary while a snowflake is the primary visual in the club crest.

I whipped this up pretty fast while watching a toddler, so don't mind the awkward spacing of the text, but I think it might look something like this? It's...ok, clearly inspired by the new Als branding and going for that Burton Kramer aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GelatinousLimes Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'm going to reserve judgement on the leaked Atlanta kit until I see it's entirety. The jersey is kind of meh. Over simplified and plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. You can tell the success of the Alouettes rebrand was weighing on them and they wanted something that would fit in that golden era of logo design. The Expo 67, Métro and old CBC logo were clear influences here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin Wall Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I can't think of one french club using CF. Montréal CF has more like a Spanish vibe to it. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been a big fan of the Expo 67 one. Might be the age of it, I just never got it. Based on the mockup, I must say the CBC/Métro vibe works a lot for me. I'm on board . I like that they chose the name with a Québécois/French Canadian phrasing. It's different, it's ours. I think they floated that it would be Montreal FC to say if the French public would accept it. While it wasn't totally panned, there were complaints. Mine was just that it's like everyone else. This is just different enough without it really being any different.
