roxfan00 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Has anyone actually seen this kit up close or even own it? Also does anyone have pictures of the Denver Dynamos who played in the NASL in 1974 to 75? "Mr. President, call in the National Guard! Send as many men as you can spare!

-kj Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yup, I saw one up close at the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta NY last fall. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

eRay Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yup, I saw one up close at the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta NY last fall.so, according to this picture, hats came with the jersey??? i'm just reading the description near the tag area of the jersey...either way its a very interesting look. I went to the Soccer HOF a couple years back and didn't notice this, it certainly would have caught my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmered Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 That is just so bad.In competitions where bad ideas get presented against other bad ideas, that is competition winning bad.Apart from the name, which doesn't make sense, because the plural of caribou, is still caribou.But frills?It's like a practical joke.Stunningly good find. It's great to see how wacky some people can get in the name of being different, but that is horrible.

BallWonk Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Apart from the name, which doesn't make sense, because the plural of caribou, is still caribou.Sigh. In English, traditional usage is that when a group of people are identified by a corporate name, the group itself takes a plural "s" regardless of the correct pluralization of the word. So the crew of HMS Caribou would be known in the fleet as Caribous, and the men of the Red Tooth Regiment would be known as Red Tooths. It is correct for sports teams to follow this usage; thus "Caribous" and "Maple Leeafs."Stunningly good find.Agreed! This was not on display at the Soccer HOF in August 2001. Love the hat -- looks like a faithful Boss of the Plains Stetson reproduction -- but that frill is scary, even by the standards of a decade that put grown men in rainbow-striped shirts. Plus, in any field sport, it's just not a good idea to add unnecessary graspable handles to a uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Not so bad in soccer, though, since it would make any use of the hands very evident to the officials.I actually like them, except for the overly frilly and large wordmark. Would still love to see another team in a major sport adopt that color scheme. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

fishheatcats Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 That's the most off-the-wall uniform I've ever seen in any sport. Wow. Frills? Are you serious? Were they soccer players or cowboy themed male strippers lol? In any case that would be a cool, unusual collector's item for sure. Flight 19 ::: Fort Lauderdale Soccer Supporters ::: DEFEND THE FORT!

leopard88 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Were they soccer players or cowboy themed male strippers lol?Well, soccer players were not paid very well in those days, so . . . On a more serious note, those things are horrendous, even by '70s standards. The color scheme is actually pretty cool, but the fringe and the logo/wordmark are craptastic.
