LOTS of military folk around that area. There's also four military posts down the road in San Antonio, but that shouldn't be the way a team from Austin should be presented. They should be embracing things like Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Austin City Lights. The city of Austin is the antithesis of military culture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 In other news, the Whitecaps posted a press release this morning saying that their shirt sponsorship deal with Bell has come to an end: https://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/thank-you-bell Decent chance that they’ll be sponsorless for at least part of the season, or they may already have secured another sponsor that’ll be announced before the season.

TacoCat83 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Sounds like there is indeed a jersey sponsor change for the Sounders this season. With the "ever popular" Zulily logo going away. Unless they are able to get something bigger done by the start of the year, it sounds like it will be a small splash in terms of a sponsor. I'm hedging my bets on Delta Airlines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazerBlaze Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 If Delta goes on the Sounders Shirts instead of ATLUTD, then expect an unhappy fanbase here in Atlanta. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do agree with that statement, if the Vegas Golden Knights, Florida Panthers, and even the Jacksonville Jaguars have taught us anything, it's to NEVER underestimate the prowess of marketing to the military demographic of a city and/or metro region. (Lord knows the Austin area got plenty of them—heck I used to be one of them.) And if Precourt n' em think they can extract more dolla dolla bills by doing that, then I'm willing to bet that's just what they'll do. And if Austin should embrace anything in their local culture, it's bats. All them bats that be hanging out up under that bridge downtown (can't remember the name of the street offhand). I still think that's what they should have gone from the beginning. The Mutiny has long been gone from MLS; time for somebody to be the bat squad somewhere. * *Yes I'm aware of the Louisville MiLB team, but there's enuff room for another bat squad out here somewhere. 1 Quote *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...
upperV03 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Tomorrow is apparently MLS Media Day in San Jose. In the past this event has produced quite a few glimpses at new kit elements (for teams getting new primary kits, at least). Would expect to see some of the new shorts and socks, but also possible that one of the jerseys accidentally gets leaked as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck if MLS decided to have Retro Reverse weekend using old MLS teams, it could fit rather easily. In fact, I think that double blue used by Tampa when they wore Kappa would be great for a secondary kit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacoCat83 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Based off the 2 different colors of the cinci and ATL jackets, it looks like MLS is getting the reversable anthem jacket like the world cup teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although unfortunately it looks like they’ll just be solid colors on both sides instead of incorporating designs from the jerseys.

upperV03 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Glimpse at SKC’s new primary kit. Light blue shorts and socks once again. If you look closely you can just barely see the navy trim on the back hem of the shorts, and you can also see a tiny bit of what looks to be a navy collar on the shirt (maybe a henley?). Also our first look at the inside (reverse side) of the new anthem jackets, which follow the same pattern as the WC anthem jackets (printed and stacked logos on the left chest and no adidas stripes).

upperV03 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 A few interesting things here. First, you can see the Apple TV logo on all three players. Second, looks like Ruidiaz’s jersey already has a new sponsor logo on it but his hands and arms are covering most of it. Third, a look at the blue keeper jersey for this year. Same as the World Cup keeper kits, which was to be expected. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hereandthere Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 It looks like the reverse jackets are a bit simpler than those of the WC and European teams. Meaning they seem to be missing the all-over graphics on the inside mimicking the style of the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
