In the CONCACAF Champions Cup, vs. Deportivo Saprissa:

I actually prefer the Nike itterations from last year. I don't like how the sash ends for no rhyme or reason on these.

My thoughts exactly. The sash's abrupt end is what makes these seem odd. I like the shorts, though.

And here I thought I was imagining that it seems to end awfully low on the shoulder.

Agreed.

BTW, am I the only one that has ever thought the Galaxy's wordmark and/or logo should better emphasize the fact that the abbreviation "LA" is in the middle (i.e., something like this)?

GALAXY

As it is, the wordmark gets gradually taller in the middle, but the letters are all the same color. I think you could come up with something sharp if you approximated the shape of the Milky Way or similar galaxies (with the middle significantly taller than the edges) and changed the color of the "LA". Maybe someone with actual artistic talent can take a shot at it.

The more i compare to last year's, I have found one thing I like.

The old jerseys made the Galaxy crest look like one large patch. The new jerseys seem to have the letters more freestanding.

Here's last years:

I think they have a pretty good solution right now... they do an old Blue Jays style inline treatment to those two letters, highlighting them, but not screwing up the way it reads.

[Krona]

anyone else think galaxy is perhaps the lamest name ever? the only thing redeeming is the nickname "gals", which isnt without embarrasment

[CZzyzx41]

Yellow shirt, green shorts...how can you go wrong there?

Now if they can beat Saprisa in the 2nd leg, we might have a fast start in the tourny.

We get to see their whites next week. Good luck to them.

Oh and yes, I hate their name too.

[JohnnyFriedRice]

They look like they should read "OREGON" across the front.

The reason the sash so inadvertently cuts off is that the sleeve cut is lower than it would be on any other template adidas has. This is the cut that Argentina and Spain used for their home shirts. Those who remember Gordies templates, the cut starts below the neckline as opposed to across the shoulders. They should have used the United template and simply not colored the striping on the sides of the jersey. Of course the Galaxy shirts are propbably what River Plate will be wearing next season. I'm sure that will tick off half the town.
