Digby Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Also looks like they're using the bird/star without the surrounding shield, same way the Northern Lights kit is doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBeltz Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 No, the rest of the crest is there. You can see the white and blue stripe that usually falls behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The shorts and socks for Minnesota’s new kit are black with white adidas stripes. That teaser for the shirt looks interesting, but I’m worried the kit as a whole will be mostly black and white with minimal blue accents. In any case, they should’ve stuck with dark gray primaries anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I fully agree with the dark gray primaries. Their NASL kits are still far and away the best they've ever had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything pales to the gray with wing and red button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint with that one is that the gray is a little too light as I prefer the darker gray they switched to. But overall, yeah, such a classic design that they should've brought with to the MLS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got confused that I didn't see the extra black backing to the crest that they've been using on the keeper kit but not the outfield. I do agree that the charcoal/anthracite of yore was the way to do it. Black is boring, light-ish grey is just kinda...there. But something in the middle of those was really interesting and iconic.

Dexatron19 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Charlottes Kit got shown off at a event at BoA Stadium tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 An excellent kit. The blue back adds a ton, I wonder if they'll keep the white numbers from the old home kit or go with black to match the stripes and sponsor logo. I only wish they had kept blue socks instead of going to white. 1 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rygi13 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Just found a listing for a Chicago Fire jersey based on the MLS league-wide 25th-anniversary template. I imagine these would've been created... and then shelved after Chicago changed their logo (for the first time). It is very similar to their 2019 jersey but appears to have different proportions on the chest stripes. It also has a design on the back I've never seen. Does anyone have any idea if this is an actual leak or a sample from Adidas? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 ^that looks like a genuine product. Definitely the kit before the redesign or at least a pre production sample of the direction they were going to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Wait a second. My memory of the OG Chicago Fire kit was that the chest stripe trim and the wordmark were navy, not red and silver respectively. Google seems to suggest that both of them existed for some period of time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBeltz Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 LAFC leak with new front ad, mimicking the stadium sponsor (BMO). I quite like it, and might be the one I pick up out of the bunch. https://www.footyheadlines.com/2023/09/lafc-2024-home-kit.html Houstons Away got leaked and it’s purple? https://www.footyheadlines.com/2024/02/houston-dynamo-2024-away-kit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hereandthere Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Plain back, as was to be expected. Would have worked better if the blue was a few shades lighter or a bit desaturated IMO. Or even better with a matching back, of course. But nonetheless a very nice kit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Feels very disconnected to me from front to back, not just because of the colors but also the switch from smooth organic curves on the front to the very modern, angular color-blocking effects on the back. The Adidas template underarm thing does not help matters here. Also could use some blue socks, but hey. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intriguing but I like that they’re at least attempting it going out there… 9 hours ago, NYWEL said: Houston creativity - going for a replica of the Hendrix Kit Hendrix lol …someone’s never heard of DJ Screw or chopped & screwed music.
