Sodboy13 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Could someone please explain to me why numbers are only done in white-on-black, black-on-white, or red-on-white? I get the whole "we want to be like the EPL and have the same font for every team" thing, but I don't understand why there are so few color choices.

rmackman Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 If you notice in this photo of Bekham, there are two stars over the Galaxy shield. Obviously this is in the same tradition of European teams marking their championships. However, it seems the jerseys being sold to fans do not have those two stars on them. "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...
MisterE Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Authentics have the stars while replicas don't. That's how they sell Fire jerseys as well. Get Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

European teams do not customarily mark their individual championships with stars. They assign a star for a number of championships, usually ten. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

FiddySicks Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Figured this would be an ight place to post this.So tonight I went on MLSnet.com and shockingly enough there were tickets for the July 21st World Series of Football vs Chelsea FC, which will be Beckham's first match with the Galaxy. Im not a huge soccer fan, but like many, events such as this have began to make me a fan, and I truely feel this is the start of something really good for the MLS and soccer in the United States.

But to add stars for every single league title is grade inflation. Even the Bundesliga makes a team wait until it reaches 3 championships before they can add a single star to their shirts, and they've got the lowest standards. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
