upperV03 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 The original leak showed that the authentic version will have black cuffs with white trim and black back panels, so at least that should help the color balance a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 So are we expecting this to finally release? Or are they just going to use the gray all season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The indigenous inscription is nowhere to be seen on the new leaked images, so it’s possible Adidas has finished producing updated versions and is starting to send them out to retailers. Wouldn’t surprise me if they end up launching it in May. Shifting back to the Parley kits for this week, St. Louis has posted a teaser with tomorrow’s date: Looks like the turquoise colorway, so that means Colorado chose the black as the home team for Saturday’s matchup between the two clubs. So far then we know the colors for these two matchups: Atlanta (black) vs. Chicago (turquoise) Colorado (black) vs. St. Louis (turquoise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I'm guessing Columbus will wear turquoise since black is their secondary kit color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Most of the Parley (officially called “One Planet”) jerseys are up on the Dick’s site. They’ll be available on MLS Store later today. Here are all of the selections: Charlotte (turquoise) vs. Columbus (black) Cincinnati (black) vs. Portland (turquoise) Montreal (black - no pic yet) vs. NYRB (turquoise) New England (turquoise) vs. SKC (black) NYCFC (turquoise) vs. Dallas (black) Orlando (turquoise) vs. DC (black) Philadelphia (black) vs. Toronto (turquoise) Houston (black) vs. Miami (turquoise) Nashville (turquoise) vs. LAFC (black) Colorado (black) vs. St. Louis (turquoise) RSL (turquoise) vs. San Jose (black) LAG (turquoise) vs. Austin (black) Seattle (turquoise) vs. Minnesota (black) Atlanta (black) vs. Chicago (turquoise) The home team picks which color they want. 8 of the 14 home teams picked the turquoise color way, while the other 6 picked black. Vancouver has a bye this week, but I assume they’ll still have a version to buy. As with the previous Parley jerseys, they all have color-matched sponsor logos except for Minnesota who has the big white bullseye on the chest: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleVermilion81 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Sigh. This weekend is really gonna suck. Tired of these parlay weekends. There's got to be a better way to do it than giving every team the same jersey. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I just find it funny that the way they promote sustainability is to create a "recycled" jersey that is only worn once and never again. Kinda dilutes the message, doesn't it? If the NHL can do the whole PrimeGreen thing with their regular jerseys, can't they do that with MLS products as well? 5 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular kits are already made using recycled materials. What makes the Parley kits different is that they use a yarn that contains 50% recycled ocean plastic. I’m fine with them doing the Parley jerseys because it’s a worthy cause to promote, I just hate that they’re worn in matches. Either make team-colored versions or only have them used as prematch tops. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it's an important and worthy cause, but doing it as a one-off is more about feel-good marketing than actually embracing change. It's like someone saying, "I recycle, but only on Earth Day." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With both kits. Their pinkish-red is kinda off-putting as the primary kit color, probably even worse monochrome, but I really like it as a trim color. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike has been making kits out of recycled plastic bottles for over a decade; they’ve of course highlighted that in their releases but they haven’t felt a need to make special kits for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Still no shirt release, but Montréal wore the shorts from their new primary kit in tonight’s Canadian Championship match: Wasn’t totally clear in the latest leaks whether the new shirt has white or light gray accents; these shorts seem to show that it’ll be a light gray. Nice to see black shorts instead of blue. Would assume the socks of the new kit will be blue, but we’ll have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 TOR-NE is interesting in that I don’t think the Revs had shown white shorts and socks with their new away kit at all before …. think I like this better for them though, at least with the faux-River Plate shirt.

Beantown33 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Yeah, the Revs tweeted out before the match they were featuring white shorts and I think they looked great:https://twitter.com/NERevolution/status/1654987567828221952?s=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
