Jer15 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 True, it wouldn't be a great clash, but I thing pairing a red shirt with either black or white shorts (depending on opponent) and red socks would be different enough from ono-black and mono-white to work as a more subtle clash.I think this "warm up shirt" would solve the problem of their being too much red in the new DCU 3rd kit.

Mingjai Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 On a similar note, most national teams' clash kits are in some variant national colors (or national uniform colors)--I'm having a hard time thinking of a national team whose uniform isn't in their national or traditional colors other than the US's anthracite set (which still gave the appearance of dark blue under most lighting).Mexico's current away kit is black, and Australia's away kit is blue- two examples of non team colors in international kitsGood call--I'm surprised I forget Mexico's black kit. Thinking about it a little more, I recall Portugal also having a black secondary kit back in 2006. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 It may have been for 2010. But in years prior it was always a blue kit while they were with Puma. It may have changed when they switched kit suppliers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked horrible and they only were worn for the South Africa game. the red kit the keeper wore was miles better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it a little more, I recall Portugal also having a black secondary kit back in 2006.Then there is the USA anthracite jersey of 2008-09, the white with baby-blue letters of Turkey in 2007-08, the navy-colored Holland jersey of 1998, the Spanish black kits of 1998 (not to mention the navy they won in last year, only to switch to the red for the ceremony), England wearing powder blue in 1986, and Uruguay wearing red for the 2005 Copa America.Germany, since going away from the green change strip a few years back, has been all over the map ... black, gray, red, and now black and gold.

rmackman Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 When are the Chicago Fire supposed to release their jerseys? Do they even have a sponsor anymore?

Krona Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Timbers released their line of "Rose City FC" gear today:http://shop.portlandtimbers.com/rose-city.htmlLooks like an awful lot of time was invested in this. Seems like someone toying with the idea of a new identity for the Timbers, but realized it wasnt worth the backlash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 When are the Chicago Fire supposed to release their jerseys? Do they even have a sponsor anymore?I asked earlier and someone said it wasn't their year to switch. Something about alternating years. Belated thanks for that answer. Just went to my first two Fire games last year, which raised my interest in MLS beyond checking the standings every once in a while, so I'm way behind in soccer knowledge.And Best Buy is still the sponsor as far as I know.

Jer15 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 According to the Chicago Fire facebook, they're releasing their jersey next week.I wonder if that just means that they are putting the word "fire" back on the front of the kit?

exaccardi Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I agree. Bayern Munich also used that template, also to no avail. Personally, i think it was one of the worst contemporary templates ever used by adidas, including the FCD/Earthquakes template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
