roxfan00 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Has DC United always have all white kits on the road before? Also very much liking the Rapids kits more and more.

Saturn Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 What is so new about DC's all whites? They have been the regular change unis since almost forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duma Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 its funny they wore white shorts because in normal soccer tradition, you are not supposed to match anything with the other team, so if Rapids were wearing white shorts that means DC should have worn black ones. that being said, anyone have pictures from the other games? specifically Real ? i want to see how the Xango shirts look. thanks.

illwauk Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I like the Colorado shirts, but I'd rather see them with either carolina shorts/burgundy socks or burgundy shorts with white socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krona Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I know it sounds picky, but i'd enjoy the MLS a lot more if they played during the fall/winter. those pictures look like soccer as opposed to the sun drenched, faded look of summer matches. i also wish united would return to red trim on their change kits.

SDX Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 its funny they wore white shorts because in normal soccer tradition, you are not supposed to match anything with the other team, so if Rapids were wearing white shorts that means DC should have worn black ones. I know over in Europe that is the norm. For example yesterday Newcastle had white shorts on to avoid a clash with Sheffield Uniteds black ones.

O.C.D Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Has DC United always have all white kits on the road before? Also very much liking the Rapids kits more and more.Why does number 5 on the rapids have a jersey with short sleves while all of his team mates have long sleeves?

Alphabet Man Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 In soccer, like most sports around the world, players have a choice for long sleeves or short sleeves. Soccer, Aussie Rules, Rugby used to I think, Cricket (also have a 3/4 sleeve option), theres probally a few more. twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horrorshow Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Beckerman actually changed to a long sleeved shirt after halftime. The new Rapids kits looked classy yesterday, and so did their warm up tops (which unfortunately don't seem to be available on MLSShop). I like to spout nonsense on camera.

I watched the Chivas/Toronto game last night, and really liked the electronic powerbar they had on the sideline. From a pure visual aspect ,it was almost like the game was being palyed somewhere outside of America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
