upperV03 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I cannot outright confirm the authenticity of this, as I have not seen the real thing, but I do trust my source and the info that was provided to me. We’ll have to wait to see a leak of the real thing, but if this info is indeed legit then this kit will be wild and polarizing to say the least.

I like it a hell of of a lot more than this though. I'm the opposite though. I like these way better than the bomb pops. But to be fair, I didn't like any version of the bomb pops. 45 minutes ago, KitLeakBoi said: Chicago Even if they change back to primary red kits next year, that away shirt better stay, just with a better badge. Toronto looks like it's using an older pattern on the front, and that's pretty disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we’ll have another green vs. green Timbers/Sounders matchup... As for the rationale behind the design, my only guess is that it’s somehow inspired by the music or art scene in Seattle (I have no actual info about the inspiration behind the design, though). I can’t think of any sort of connection with the Sounders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I can't think of anything purple and orange in the city, outside of the University of Washington, though that's an entirely different sports universe to the pro teams here. I do appreciate Seattle eschewing a white kit, once again, in favor of something absurd. At least one team is keeping the spirit of a clash kit alive. And a potentially intentionally gloriously ugly one too (in contrast to the dirty laundry kits they've been running with the past few seasons). 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Thinking about it more: would the best option, from a "I want to avoid headaches when watching games" perspective, be a simple kit in the standard Sounders blue, which I think they only did in year one? I thought that was silly because their blue and green are so close tonally. But it would actually provide decent contrast against Portland and Austin, and would be no problem at all against Columbus and Nashville. Which is really all they need it for, apart from selling more merch.

As an outsider, I thought their nightfall kits were pretty bad, but from what I’ve seen/heard they were fairly popular amongst Sounders fans. So I’m curious to hear about there being a longing for purple now, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of amazing that first year away kit was the only time they’ve gone with a kit in that standard blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I’m curious to hear about there being a longing for purple now, too. The nightfalls were "supposedly" pitched as having a gradient sunset effect which would of made them even better. Ended up being just a black and pink kit. No real clue why the need for purple but everytime a new jersey has come out people have mentioned that color.

Jer15 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 2 hours ago, DG_ThenNowForever said: That Toronto FC shirt seems just as uninspired as the past two home Sounders FC shirts. Yeah, it's a pattern. So what? Agreed. I like when TFC uses that dark grey (Onyx as they call it...or have called it in the past) as the secondary shirt colour. Do all the random and pointless designs on that. TFC should have very plain red shirt as the primary though. At least they didn't get the giant BMO logo without the wordmark like Montreal did.

tBBP Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'm pretty sure I missed this somewhere in the previous pages of this thread or back in the archives of MLS news, but what's with the "nicknaming" of all these kits lately? Has this become MLS' thing du jour now?? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been looser than that as some of them are kind of descriptions more than they are names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
