The notion of a "change kit" is common in global soccer, but (the recent lunacy of the NBA aside) might still be considered an oddity in the North American custom of home and away uniforms using a team's primary color palette. I was in Portland when the Timbers joined MLS, and naming their secondaries the Rose City Red kits at the time made it clear that the off-brand color choice wasn't made at random. This is just a theory for the sake of discussion, of course. I know nothing. That's a fair point, though it doesn't work well when say Colorado releases a white kit with burgundy trim and makes a fancy website dubbing it the "black diamond kit" or whatever.

Digby Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Is Columbus switching to Nationwide proper for their sponsor, or is this one of those training-kit-only deals? Really hope it's the former, the sponsor logo was one of the many sartorial mistakes they had in their Cup winning year.

Really hope it's the former, the sponsor logo was one of the many sartorial mistakes they had in their Cup winning year. The Children’s Hospital logo was just for 2020. This is from their press release announcing the deal last year: “Beginning in 2021, Crew SC kits will feature the Nationwide logo and Nationwide Children’s Hospital will transition into a community partner role with details to be announced later this year.” And here’s a photo from that press release of the black jersey with the standard Nationwide logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KitLeakBoi Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 4 hours ago, KitLeakBoi said: Are you referring to the Real Madrid leak with the Orange and Blue accents? The collar type might be the same, along with the usual shoulder stripes. The pattern though isn’t at all the same. Real Madrid’s is a couple repeating, colored lines. The RSL pattern is a combination of photos or custom designed “Believe”/Lion elements repeated vertically maybe 3 times. To me it resembles a scrapbook section or various magazine clippings stacked upon each other maybe. Also not colorful, but grey like the FC Cincinnati grey-on-white of their current white kit. I could mock it up I guess. Here's my best mockup based on what I've seen. EDIT: shirt back should be white, not red. The inside collar red stays though. Image has been updated.

I think that pattern on the black jersey is way worse than the Nationwide Children's logo. That will still be there unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a die hard RBNY fan I actually disagree. The Red Bull logo in the front has basically become a part of the look. Its a nice looking, symmetrical logo and it is unque.

upperV03 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Here are two of Nashville’s new keeper jerseys: And here are the other keeper kit colorways we can expect to see this season: The black, yellow, and orange colorways are the least offensive because the pattern isn’t as noticeable, but the template and design are both pretty terrible overall.

Gothamite Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Anything that gives New York an orange keeper shirt option is good by me. And that letter from the Montreal “ultras” - wow. As the co-founder and former president of a supporters’ group, fans can really be drama queens sometimes. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

upperV03 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I have no idea whether or not this graphic could be a hint at Austin’s secondary kit, but I thought it was at least worth posting: I actually think a white kit with tonal hoops and green accents could be a really nice inaugural secondary kit for them. Yeah, it’d be another white kit but white and green work great together and tonal hoops would be a pretty natural secondary look to the black and green vertical stripes. Here are a couple mock-ups of what that could look like: Again, I have no idea if that graphic is an indication of their secondary kit design or not, but I thought it was at least worth posting here for the sake of discussion.
