Red Wolf Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I honestly think American teams think they can only redesign their teams using some blue/light blue color combination.Seems true enough. Vancouver Whitecaps, Sporting KC, Tampa Bay Rays, Memphis Grizzlies, Utah Jazz (until the recent redesign to complete awfulness), and probably more I can't think of.

Ez Street Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 New Sporting Kansas City kits. Only the jerseys have been revealed. My guess is that closer to the season they will announce a jersey sponsor, stadium naming rights sponsor and reveal the full kits. PrimarySecondaryHere's a link that explains the new brandhttp://www.insightkc.com/sportingbrand/index.htmlHere's the detail on the star:In addition, the light blue jersey (Sporting Blue) has a dash line that extends below the badge at the center point, representing the state line that runs through Kansas City.The are working on a kit sponsorship deal, hopefully something will be announced soon. In addition, they are working on naming rights for the new stadium.Stadium Webcam:http://webcams.insightkc.com/kcwizards/ @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 $3M a year? That seems low, considering the hit jersey sales will take.For a league finally doing so many things right, they've completely screwed up sponsorships. Too many shady pyramid schemes.What else outside of Herbalife? Xango (RSL)? Yes. Two out of only thirteen - that's bad.Three if you count Amway, which has been accused of that.Thanks - can't believe I forgot that one.The association is a serious blow to the league's credibiliy, when they are otherwise taking major steps forward.

Seriously, that just looks tacky. I've gotten used to sponsors in soccer and think it can look pretty good (Liverpool when they had Carlsberg looked nice), but that's terrible. Hope all the Union fans got jerseys already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutz Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I for one like the Bimbo sponsorship. May not be good for Philly's colors, but I love when Bimbo sponsors things, it's hilarious. I've got an old Club America one just for that (and it has corona on the back, can't get much better) erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJM Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 I really hope those empty jerseys (Columbus/Sporting KC) get sponsors...it looks absolutely idiotic without a sponsor on there.Don Garber mentioned in his state of the league address that he expects all MLS teams to have kit sponsors this year. he did not mention if they'd all have sponsors by the beginning of the season, but it should be interesting to see what happens between now and the start of the season. I remember reading an article somewhere the mentioned Dallas and Colorado in talks with potential sponsors.

Gothamite Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I really hope those empty jerseys (Columbus/Sporting KC) get sponsors...it looks absolutely idiotic without a sponsor on there.Can't agree - I think they look relatively clean (odd for Adidas).Not completely opposed to shirt sponsorship, but in general I prefer simpler designs, and simpler shirts.

Camden Crazy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Meh, to me there's a difference between "clean" and "bare/empty/plain". Columbus' fall under the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Same as last year, minus the sponsor (which doesn't necessarily mean they are changing)Actually, it does.

It was announced earlier this week that Glidden was discontinuing its Crew shirt sponsorship.Ok gotcha, didn't know the current status of the sponsor, but I was just noting that the actual jersey is the same as last year, and therefore not actually new.

Just looks nice and it's certainly a heck of a lot better than a wordmark like New England, Kansas City until recently, and Dallas. Besides, the alternative could be like Philly. Went from one of the best jerseys in soccer, to one of the tackiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
