DEAD! Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 While it is a difference in colors, how come Chicago and San Jose are both in their dark uniform kits today?POST #800!I don't see any problem with that. Both colours are distinctive enough so that you can differeniate the teams. Happens a lot in England! Liverpool vs Everton for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I was just watching the game (2 goals in a minute..is that a record?) I noticed this about the uniforms: they have the same font for names and numbers for both teams, even with different manufacturers. I think it is Frutiger condensed.The New England Revolution use the same lettering as both the teams playing today. The Revolution's uniforms are made by Atletica (I think, it may be Kappa), The Fire are Puma and the Earthquakes are Nike. Is this a rule that uniform backs must be, well, uniform?I have seen the in the Premier League as well. No matter the manufacturer or team, every one uses Optima for lettering and numbers. Does anyone know the reasons for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know the reasons for this?I think the font depends on the league and not necessarly the team. Notice the league logos on the bottom of the numbers? Those number fonts on teams like Manchester United are actually different when they play in the Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 I used to notice the Umbro logo at the bottom of the numbers. I don't watch soccer regularyl to notice that it's the league logo now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted November 23, 2003 Author Share Posted November 23, 2003 This is the first year MLS has had the same lettering for all teams, ala the Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 The MLS season is just too long it runs from March to November they need to comapct the schedule and hold the championship game in Spetember at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I have seen the in the Premier League as well. No matter the manufacturer or team, every one uses Optima for lettering and numbers. Does anyone know the reasons for this?I ma not sure everyone does use the same fonts and numbering in the Premier League. However really the only answer I can give is that soccer kits oin england have never made a fuss over that sort of thing. Most replica shirts that you buy in a shop for instance don't have any numbers on at all, although in most sports retailers you can then customize them. Maybe this is the reason, so that you can have a fairly good replica done in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
