The email also said they will be wearing this kit in their season opening match at Austin. STL have a "Red" home shirt, its not like there is a shortage of teams that they will clash with. Would have thought they would have gone with their first choice in their MLS debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Good look at the pink keeper kit colorway: This is probably my favorite with this current template, though I won’t be surprised if not very many teams use it. Works nicely for the Galaxy with the yellow accents. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 The Seattle Sounders are playing on FS1 right now. For some odd reason I want to see them wear the reverse of their primary kits, blue/green/blue. I'm sure it would probably look bad, but I want to actually see it myself for confirmation.

WBeltz Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 More of the adidas RKR websites have seemed to be activated. NYRB & Austin FC are two for sure, but the others still come up as unworking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Yeah, I saw that on Reddit, I think. Not unusual for Adidas to rip itself off. Will still be a cool design for Seattle though and I'll be glad to be rid of the purple.

Just gotta go back to 2009, year one of the Sounders' MLS operation. Unfortunately the look is dragged down by the horrid paneling aesthetic of its time. It's okay but Sounders blue and Sounders green are so tonally similar that simply reversing them doesn't make the kit look that different from afar... it would be a good choice when they're away to yellow teams but wouldn't be much of an improvement away to Portland. How to save it: I think if you go one shade lighter on the blue, and pair it with white shorts, that would be pretty suitable for Seattle and it would work in most any situation where their usual pea-soup green shirts wouldn't. But they seem pretty dedicated to away kits that are radically outside the usual team brand so not likely to happen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pipe dream is blue/white/blue (or blue/blue/white) as a permanent secondary kit combo, worn every game against Portland, home or away. Save the wild color schemes for thirds! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendocfc Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 The DC United "cherry blossom" kit, according to Footy Headlines Not great, I'm afraid. Execution could have been much better. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more subtle than the Nats and Wizards uniforms and still gets the theme across. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBeltz Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Definetly low-key. I'd say a solid 7/10. Could use more pink or blossoms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 7/10 sounds right. I like that it reads as DCU still, but also you can’t miss the pink accents, so that’s a success at threading that needle (which isn’t easy). Would have preferred if they found a way to work in the sublimated graphic in a more subtle/abstract way than just the giant tree printed there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upperV03 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 It’s better than their last few secondary kits and certainly better than some of the mockups/concepts I’ve seen. That said, I’d say it fits firmly in the “fine” category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Scuttlebutt, the shirt was going to be half covered by blossoms. Feel a bit short changed that it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
