GFB Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Yeah, surprised to see the hate on the Sounders look. Kit of the year for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin Wall Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I remember a few years back when people said MLS kits are boring and Adidas doesn't put enough efford into the league any more. But they did make a comeback big time. I only hope that we will see DCU with three white stripes on the chest again at some point in history not too far away.

aawagner011 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Maybe it’s my color blindness, but I don’t notice the mismatch on the Seattle crest. I can tell the blue is different, but that doesn’t bother me much. The green looks very close to the shirt, maybe a shade off. It seems to be a polarizing design, that’s for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Hard to get a true read on the colors from these photos... I think I like the lighter green? Even though the overall look feels too washed out. Also not sure about the double pinstripe, that darker border color kinda muddies things up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That darker green is the same green that got used back in 74. Honestly if they switched that out with the regular blue it would of worked better.

Yet despite that attempt and that it's supposed to be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Sounders, it doesn't recall any of the kits the team wore during the NASL days. The Sounders did wear stripes in the NASL, but that was for one season and the original team folded at the end of it, and the stripes on it could barely have been any thinner. And for some reason, it looks like the MLS logos that will be slapped on the jersey will be using another shade of blue teamed up with the pea soup shade of green, and yet another shade of blue for the Orca logo on the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if they switched that out with the regular blue it would of worked better. I think I'd lose that green entirely and/or set fewer stripes on the shirt. Like the idea, not the execution. I'll reserve judgement on the colors of the applications til we see the real thing but yeah, I'm wondering if the Adidas design team had guidance and ideas for a retro look but didn't get to see the rebrand assets until way late in the process and didn't design with them in mind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Orlando has dropped. I didn’t realize the color is lavender. I thought it was white. The tweets below have a video showing it with lavender shorts. Also a nice look at the original crest and the updated one that’s used on this shirt. I hated the original crest, but seeing the modern update, think it’s kinda nice. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The updated USL badge is nice, as is the base color and the collar, but it's spoiled by those absolutely horrible huge back panels and the cuffs not matching the collar. 15 minutes ago, officeglenn said: Chicago Fire primary kit: Finally red for the home is back, along with the chestband.

SSmith48 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 36 minutes ago, officeglenn said: FC Dallas going out to left field for their new primary kit: FC Dallas, I'm sorry, but... Seattle is also just looking way off. Too many light colors trying to play off each other, and all the white accents on the collar, Adidas stripes, and cuffs just don't help it in any way. Looks more like a striped polo your oddball, golf-loving uncle would wear to an Easter service. The return of the red w/ white band for the Chicago Fire and the pinstripes for LAFC might be some of the best looking from what we have seen so far IMO. 5 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I know the simple white jerseys as away kits always got dunked on, but I actually think Orlando would've looked better as plain white; the dark purple, metallic gold, and red color scheme for the trim works fantastically well and those pieces pop just fine on their own. That light lavender tint does distract from it a little bit. That said, I thought the updated USL badge would've been a fun novelty but I'm surprised how much I legitimately like it (apart from the outer lions looking like chimps). Feels like it could be the primary if they wanted. FC Dallas got real weird. Points for originality. The marketing copy for that one goes on about jet afterburners, for some reason. I like all the rest of this new unveil batch, lots of ideas that are simple but well-executed and just interesting enough. Austin got beat to that kit by Vermont Green FC but I do really like this take on the partial logo trend with just the tree/roots thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
