Not really any specific plaid heritage, but there’s the lumberjack angle and I suppose the hipster flannel angle as well. Plus there’s the stripes on the PDX flag that can pretty easily form a plaid pattern. In a broader sense, Oregon has a pretty extensive history with woolen mills as well. I’ll be curious to see the marketing speak for the kit, as I could realistically see any of the above reasons being mentioned.

 

You've just set the table for a future Pendleton blanket-inspired kit. Nice work.

Minnesota United’s jacket has a “3D” crest on it. Maybe it’ll use some kind of Japan design from their WC, or in a manner similar?

Sigh. MNUFC with a white kit. Just for once I'd like them to have a consistent look for their kits. Every dark kit has been drastically different, and same with every light kit. Keep the blue. Cripes.

They did do a blanket design contest in 2015 in collaboration with Pendleton…

Only thing that came to mind when I saw that logo:

OL had a 3d kit a few years back that was pretty popular, and with the Japan WC kits the Minn one has the chance of being a real banger!

[upperV03]

That could (should?) look really good for the Loons… but it does seem to be a pretty obvious copycat of Minneapolis City SC:

Here’s a look at this year’s training gear. Expect to see more teams wearing versions of this as their supply starts to come in.

Is the Austin player that can be seen in the foreground in this photo wearing a credential lanyard? If not, looks like there could be a hot pink color on the new home kits?

These are just ugly versions of raglan tees.

I think the hot pink is a laynard.

Yeah, all the players had pink lanyards for their credential cards:

 

If you look at the collar of the Charlotte player’s jacket, it looks like the inside is the rumored purple color of their new secondary. You can also see how the inside of the Galaxy jacket matches the color of their already leaked secondary. LAFC’s jacket also has olive green on the inside.

I actually really like that shade of purple, it reminds me of the Hornets' Dark Purple. I wish I could say that it means we're not getting an Ally-themed kit but I can't because Ally uses every shade of purple in their brand. Stupid that we have to worry about that but whatever. I can at least hope that it looks good.

I wonder who the black jacket with green trim is for. Does anybody know who's wearing it? If it's an indication of a kit, it looks like it might be pretty unique. Maybe Austin?

It’s Austin’s jacket. Black with green Adidas stripes on the outside, the mint color of their away kit on the inside. The shorts and socks of their new home kit are almost identical to those of their inaugural primary, with white Adidas stripes instead of the green like the jacket:

Feel pretty confident that Orlando’s new primary will look close to this:

If this is it, looks like I'll be buying my first new jersey since 2017. Love that they're finally leaning back into gold.

[EricSpratt]

If jacket colors match kit colors, looks like the Fire are going with a Flag Blue secondary kit. Not too big of a surprise, but it should fit nicely with their new branding.

Rapids with a really colorful teaser. Could this mean that the yellow clash jerseys could be returning? I'm hoping the actual product turns out to be as bold as this graphic is.

[Digby]

that teaser has got major “Tame Impala playing at Red Rocks” vibes, would be an interesting direction. Colorado is one of those 90s franchises that’s oft-forgotten but usually has very interesting and solid kit designs, especially away.

[WBeltz]

I wouldn’t mind seeing a yellow kit from Colorado as a clash. They tend to do a good job with using the state flag as a uniform inspiration. More so than the other teams in Colorado
