If they did ratchet it down a couple tints, that's what it should have been from the jump instead of being barely distinguishable. (Maybe CITY coming onboard with their own pink color sparked some sense into them?)

Unless it looks radically different in person, I can't say that I'm a fan of this change kit's design. Further, while there's a place for simplified crests (I love LAFC's when applied to baseball caps), I'm not in favor of them on the kit itself. In my opinion, that's where your official, formal club badge should be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Man, some of you all are quick to judge. I can barely judge what color that LAFC kit is or how the pattern would look in the course of normal wear.

aawagner011 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Two of the new shirts are available to buy from the French shop footcenter.fr (don’t think you can ship to the US). I looked at the other MLS clubs they have available and believe these are the only 2023 shirts available so far. Better photos of Atlanta And here are some better shots of Miami 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleVermilion81 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 So is the 2023 Adidas to trend to have 3 stripes on the shoulders and then a big stripe on the side seam? Is that big stripe also on the shorts anyone know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming this will be the case for 2023 MLS kits since the shirts seem to follow the World Cup template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleVermilion81 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Sigh. They also have the armpit color too. I'm looking forward to being disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampyrRabbit Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Both ATL and Miami look really good. If I'm nitpicking, not sure why the crest for Miami is monotone when white is a very Miami colour, but it still looks nice and the horizontal print on the shirt works really well. United returning to proper stripes is very welcome and the shades of red and gold really work well together and with the shade of black. It also helps hugely in that just like the Miami shirt, the shoulder armpit panels on the back are non contrasting. The LA shirt, maybe it might grow on me, but first impressions, holy s*** that is a monstrosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Atlanta actually looks like Atlanta! Glad to see the return of the proper stripe and red base. Miami looks good too. Wish they were a bit more adventurous, but I think the idea is there. LAFC is a head scratcher. That green color looks like a gray that’s been tinted through an off-color TV monitor. 1 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can barely judge what color that LAFC kit is or how the pattern would look in the course of normal wear. Alternatively it could *worse* in the normal photos. Yeesh. Would be decent in a more khaki color I think but that is such a bizarrely specific shade of green, and not a pleasant one. Though I do admire the LAFC commitment to getting weird with the aways, maybe not like that. It's a visual illustration of an old ranch house ruined by 30 years of smoking indoors. I'm already sick of Miami having these basic, boring black away kits. They could take a lot more risks, starting with making that fun trippy pattern all-over instead of just confined to stripes, and I'm already ready for them to try a different color. Might be worth getting one before that crypto firm goes bust and the shirt becomes a collectors item. 1 Quote Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinsUp1214 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I honestly don’t mind the green on that LAFC kit at all; I think the problem is in the pattern. It’s a bit too dark and is contributing more to the dingy look of the kit than the color is, in my opinion. It ought to be a bit more tonal and more of a subtle texture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, that's where your official, formal club badge should be. Couldn't disagree more with this. The official, formal badges in MLS are too busy -- you don't need words identifying the team name when the symbol itself should be enough. Every MLS club could simplify the badge on its kits, except for Portland, which already does it. Same goes for the bigger leagues. Arsenal would be better off with the cannon logo it uses on change kits than the full 2002 crest. Chelsea's scepter-holding dragon can stand on its own. Tottenham, meanwhile, does it right. The best thing about this LAFC change kit is the badge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
