MLS kit choices 2007

Toronto: Dark Grey (the "T" in thier logo)

Speaking of the "T" in their logo: in my honest opinion, Toronto FC missed a tremendous opportunity when they failed to adopt a New England Tea Men-esque jersey for their kit.

A red "T" on grey would have looked outstanding in this pattern...

Oh, how I miss my beloved Tea Men.

Bri, if MLS ever gets on the merchandising bandwagon and does "throwback" matches, by God, I will be one of the first in line to pick up one of those Tea Men jerseys. Before my time, yes...but you can't deny the utter coolness that would ensue if Taylor Twellman and Pat Noonan were wearing these things on the pitch.

ah, to dream...

Might be hard for MLS to do a Tea Men throwback - who owns the name and logo? Not the Revs, surely.

As far as I know, the Lipton Tea Company "owned" the team when it was in the NASL, so they probably still own the rights to the name and kit. Something could be worked out, I assume. A pipe dream, I know...

The only thing I see wrong in your list is still this:

Apr. 29, Houston wore orange socks, not white, with their maroon VT tributes

That's weird, I remember distinctly going back and fixing that after looking at the highlights again. Anyway, it'd better be fixed now, or something's going crazy. Maybe it's me.
