Breakwood Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Meh i liked last years jersey better with the thinner stripes, and the yellow trim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashcleaner Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 M-E-H is right. Nothing really spectacular. I do like the wider stripes, but it's no significant change.

NickSixers Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Call me crazy, but I thought that adidas became the official sponser of MLS and the supplier of all uniforms. I guess the changeover didn't happen yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schtee Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 word, the whole metrostars image has always been underwhelming, how many teams in professional sports use a five-pointed star in their logo? far too many. the metrostars crest is barren and bland, and the wordmark is just strange.anybody remember the old metros' alt logo, the taxicab?bring back the cosmos. @aghease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Nike will outfit NY/NJ and LA this year, then they're done. The teams are scrimmaging at the moment. So they either wear their training kits or last years uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashcleaner Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 They're the MetroStars, what do you want them to have in their logo? How about a large tentacled octopus riding a big red and white space rocket over some mountains in the background? Maybe get some cool gorilla or possibly a multi-armed robot of some sort on the outside of the shield holding it up?Just a thought. Thanks go to Eddie010 for the Signature and Avatar.

Beantown77 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Call me crazy, but I thought that adidas became the official sponser of MLS and the supplier of all uniforms. I guess the changeover didn't happen yet. Adidas will outfit all teams in MLS in 2006 as part of their 10 year leaguewide sponsorship deal.This year Puma will outfit Chicago. Nike will outfit LA and the Metrostars.There have been serious rumors that Adidas bought out Reebok's contract with New England but nothing has been confirmed yet.Adidas will outfit the other seven teams. The DC and Columbus kits have ben released. Salt Lake, Colorado, FC Dallas, KC and San Jose will be released sometime in March. Adidas will have their stuff on sale by April 1st.

schtee Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 They're the MetroStars, what do you want them to have in their logo? how about almost any variation on a star? a star at an angle, an 8-pointed star, a star with the skyline of east rutherford inlaid, a shooting star, anything except for what they have now, which shows no imagination and is so generic it could represent a team from anywhere. @aghease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 a star with the skyline of east rutherford inlaid What skyline. East Rutherford isn't a city it's just a town just outside of NYC that the stadium is located in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MetroStars' image has always been underwhelming because the name itself is so underwhelming. It's a goofy, made-up name that seems to have been chosen as much for its copyrightablity as for anything else.I don't remember the cab logo. Was it hideous?As for the Cosmos, I remember them, and at the time I thought it was a bad name. I understand that there isn't that much soccer history from which to draw, but still I'm not sure if I want to see the name or color scheme back. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

rmackman Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 The MetroStars new unis look like an American version of AC Milan. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 they've had that AC Milan look for a while now. I been hoping the Crew would go back to their original look, the current duds are painfully bland and there was no need to dump the originals in the first place.

MJWalker45 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I liked the Crew's origional uni's. I actually had the home and away kits for a while. The new kits aren't too bad, i just don't like the all yellow idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie_delini Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 actually, the new metrostars kits are an exact copy of Inter Milan's new kits, with red instead of the nerazzuri blue. check it outthis is using nike's "total 90" style kit. AC Milan, who uses black and red stripes, is actually supplied by Adidas, using their "Ezzezia" style kit, shown here below does anyone know where we can see pics of the dc and columbus kits revealed already?

schtee Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 As for the Cosmos, I remember them, and at the time I thought it was a bad name. I understand that there isn't that much soccer history from which to draw, but still I'm not sure if I want to see the name or color scheme back. personally, i think the "New York Cosmos" name is amongst the most well-known in american soccery history, and certainly the most famous team from the old NASL. The Cosmos won five NASA championships and featured such world-famous players as Pele, Franz Beckenbauer, Girogio Chinaglia and Adranik Eskandarian (father of the current DC United star).here's a tad-outdated site campaigning to bring the cosmos back:http://www.soccernova.com/html/activism/co...os_campaign.htmand this is a great, well-done, site all about the Cosmos:http://www.nycosmos.com/as for the logo tip, i think their iconic logo and clean, neat jersey scheme are timeless. They would look very sharp today. @aghease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashcleaner Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Wait a second!If MLS dosen't have shirt sponsors for their kit like most professional teams outside North America, why do they opt to have small crest on their jerseys?I can't believe I just noticed that! It's actually quite illogical when you think of it, unless they're doing it just to try to fit in to a global football/soccer sterotype people have.Bizzare!
