_RH_ Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 1. No black? No tin foil? That alone makes it a great start! 2. I keep expecting them to go with the checkerboard one of these years: 3. I keep expecting them to go with some variation of the Wizards' rainbow one of these years: 4. I'd like to see the stateline worked into everything they do I'm not a huge fan of the team or anything, but seems pretty good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_RH_ Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Alright curiosity got the best of me: I think that could help make the hoops a little more personalized for their logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Few more shots of the new SKC kit, including a look at the shorts: That background is 10x more interesting and inspired than the kit itself. I feel like they played it safe going with the hoop design, and exacerbated that by not executing it as well as they could and should have. I would’ve liked to have seen that retro-inspired wavy line design, that all-over argyle print, or the offset hoops that make up the state line pattern.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 At least they did actual hoops rather than some kind of weird submliminated version. Navy shorts would look better too. But you go to war with the supplier you have, I guess. 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...

zigbazah Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 2 states, 1 city doesn't make much sense, as there are 2 kansas cities. i get the moral, but coming as someone from missouri, it just doesn't sound right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the leak that the kit was going to be green several weeks ago. That made its way to supporters who are quite excited because the Rapids started out wearing green. Rapids fans have been relentlessly pestering the team on social media so they released the unveiling date to shut us up. It seems that the jersey ads are still being worked out, which explains why the release is so late.

Adidas gave teams the opportunity at the beginning of last month to push the delivery date later to help with that. (IE why Seattle's is so late as well) Any teams not unveiling this week will most likely be the week of the 25th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a new slogan? I was wondering whether this is an attempt to lay claim to Missouri as the buzz builds in St. Louis for the expansion team there. A little territorial posturing perhaps.

AdAstraKC Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I'm fine with 2 states, 1 city. They don't mean one municipality. They're talking about the whole metro being united in support of our sports teams. In the KC metro there are 2.1 million people. Only 550,000 live in KCMO or KCK proper. Being from "Kansas City" is a unifying thing in a place where most people don't have a Kansas City address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFight Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Honestly, with the exception of the Galaxy, there's been no kit this year so far that I've actively strongly disliked, and even with the Galaxy it's really just severe ambivalence more than anything else. Jury's out on Seattle, if that leak is even close to true than dear god boys I'm sorry you're going to be dealing with that for two years. *Raspberry*. Your home kit is flames at least, there's solace in that. Otherwise, the rest of the leaks have been pretty encouraging, from Toronto especially. LAFC I no longer hate the leak but I still don't like it, again ambivalence. Colorado's if they can do it justice that'll be amazing but we'll see. All of that considered I'd say it's one of the better years for kits in this league since I've started closely paying attention. The fact that, thus far, there only appears to really be one Raspberry kit (and that was not even a "leak" it was a mockup), I'd say that's a pretty good year, mercifully.
