Gothamite Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (Perhaps I'm arguing semantics, but it's the same way that I argue that USL-1 is a second division, not a minor league, and to me that's an important distinction.)Interesting. What exactly is the distinction between the two, especially as it relates to USL-1? What distinguishes a lower division from a minor league?In my mind, a lower division is by definition a minor league. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

-kj Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 When I think "minor league," I think of the baseball system. Teams affiliated directly with teams further up/down the ladder, and in many cases owned within an entity. Minor league teams generally simply as a developmental feeder system.I don't think many people would call the Championship a minor league, so why would USL-1 be considered that? If MLS is a minor league, is the Eredivisie also a minor league?(Hm, perhaps this should become its own topic elsewhere.) Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Gothamite Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Maybe it should.Feeder is part of being minor league, but there are lots of independent leagues in the US that don't feed - the Northern League, the Golden League, etc. While not part of the Minors (capital M, copyrighted), I'd call them minor leagues.Then, there are the clubs like Colorado, Real Salt Lake, and especially Chivas, which are affiliated in various fashions with a larger club in a larger league. That tells me about the relative level of MLS in the world.FWIW, I do call the Championship a minor league. Maybe I'm alone in that, maybe not. There are clubs in the Eredivisie that can hold their own with any in the world - MLS can't say that. Maybe one day it will be a major league, but it sure as heck isn't there yet.

-kj Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 So it's really an arbitrary label then? In any official capacity, the Premier League, MLS, Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Championnat de Tunisie, Primera Divisió d'Andorra.... all those leagues, and many more, are first division leagues in their respective countries.

gosioux76 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 MLS Rumors Assumes that it will be FED Ex if its proven to be a parcel service. I agree that the purple and orange would look terrible w/ the hoops, but a DHL Logo on the other hand might not look so bad. If True, I think we can safely rule out the Brown. ComparisonI wouldn't rule out a scenario in which FedEx alters its colors to match the kit, like what Best Buy did with Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the type looks nice, this could be a nice, clean, simple jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nation Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 We're so spoiled seeing Nike dish out spectacular uniforms that the Inter kit just looks meh. But it still kicks any adidas kit hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krona Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 FC Dallas/FedExif thats the company - the club and sponsor (colors) are made for each other !would be nice if true, but that site is one of the least reliable sites about MLS... so I believe it when I see it...The same thing was said when they leaked the dc united/vw sponsorship. i dont see DHL being a sponsor. from what i hear, theyre pretty cheap, only hiring temps so not to pay benefits. could be BS. i see FedEx doing it more than UPS. maybe when theres a brown team in the MLS, but not Dallas. I'd bet anything it'll be FedEx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyDingis Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Cheap as DHL may be, they're not entirely novices in the realm of shirt sponsorship. They're already shirt sponsors for Urawa Red Diamonds in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harperdc Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 they also are primary sponsors on Penske Racing's LMP2 Porsche RS Spyder racers in the American Le Mans Series. Bright yellow with a bit of red.the only bad thing about the Inter kit is the gold sponsor logo. I don't see why people liked the photoshopped jersey that was primarily black, when I think Inter I think blue and black stripes, and those need to be equally sized. Or at least relatively equally sized.the Nike swoosh and Inter crest look a bit close together, though, with the scudetto in the middle it might be a tight squeeze.

chestnutz Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Napoli kits, pretty solid actually. Nicely executed diadora.Crap picture, but here's the Rangers away.
