New for 2012: Revised Philadelphia Union Primary/Secondary Kits


tBBP

Recommended Posts

Got this via my fan e-mail a couple days ago. I'm pretty sure it's all up on the team website by now, but here's a quick description:

The new primary jersey is inspired by the club's first primary jersey, maintaining a navy blue base with a gold center stripe. The new version features thicker signal blue piping, as well as a center stripe that extends to the collar and narrows as it reaches the bottom.

The new secondary jersey is a complete variation from the original gold secondary jersey, featuring a signal blue base and a white center stripe flanked by gold piping.

And the visual...

(There's a YouTube video of this unveiling as well--but I have no clue how to link to it with my BlackBerry.)

All in all, the best-looking identity in MLS (of course I'm extremely biased in that regard--check my sig) just got even better. And it looks like at some point, I'll be investing in a new Christmas present for myself.

Thoughts/opinions on the new stuff?

*Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. 😁

I still laugh at the Bimbo sponsorship.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

It's shaped like a women's jersey.

My first thought as well. That tapered center stripe is exactly the kind of cut that would be used on a women's cut replica jersey. It's probably subtle enough that you wouldn't even notice it in action, though I do feel like even that mockup gives a hint of a feminine shape due to the taper.

The change kit is a huge improvement over the old old gold one, though. (See what I did there? Clever me!)

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Adidas designed the original one...

They sure did. Designed the original Sounders kit, too. Seen that one lately?

Would you like a new New Jersey jersey too?

PotD ribbon, anyone?
