Since the 2012 season is over, and people were asking for it in the 2012 thread, lets get this started. Thanks to @__wowza for the following summary - READ THIS PART FIRST. here's a rundown of where everyone stands in terms of kits for NEXT SEASON based off of the 2 year rule. please note that everything that reads "no change" technically means that these teams will have a new kit for the 14/15 season. im also working under the assumption that each team with a third kit will also be following the 2 year rule if they do end up changing their kit (unless otherwise noted). nothing here is mentioned about teams that had a third kit for the 11/12 season but didn't for the 12/13 season, so we may very well see a few of those without prior notice. we also might see a team switch up a third kit a year after releasing it, so the third kit category should be seen as a toss up. also note, i'm going to be counting shorts variations (NYRB/PT) as a single kit and not a new one (ie: portland switching from green to white shorts does not count as a new kit). HOME AWAY THIRD CHICAGO no change no change CHIVAS no change new kit COLORADO new kit new kit COLUMBUS no change no change DC no change no change new kit DALLAS no change no change HOUSTON new kit new kit no change LA no change new kit new kit MONTREAL no change no change NEW ENGLAND no change no change NEW YORK no change no change new kit * PHILADELPHIA no change no change new kit PORTLAND new kit ** new kit no change SALT LAKE no change no change SEATTLE new kit new kit *** KANSAS new kit new kit TORONTO new kit no change VANCOUVER new kit new kit no change * team had a third kit with a variation on shorts ** team had a home kit with a variation on shorts *** team has changed kit twice over the course of 2 years
That's how I saw it. I'm still trying to figure out what the ******** either of those have to do with anything.
So if I followed along correctly I believe this is the list of jerseys that will be released this upcoming year. Chivas: Away Colorado: Home/Away Houston: Home/Away Kansas City: Home/Away LA: Away/3rd New York: Away Philadelphia: 3rd? Portland: Home/Away Seattle: Home/Away Toronto: Home Vancouver: Home/Away
It's an obvious throw back to the 1996 shirts, so it probably has a lot of nostalgia votes behind it.
At the beginning of the season, RSL's team store manager/kit specialist indicated that they would be getting a 3rd jersey next season. Don't know if it will still happen if they don't qualify for CCL, but that is the current jersey release schedule.
Those were all fan created/voted on, not sure what a Man City shirt has to do with the LA Galaxy either, but then again aren't 3rd uniforms supposed to be where you can do random things?
So would Colorado also be going with white socks at home to match up with Arsenal? And hopefully force visiting teams not to clash with the Rapids in regards to shorts color...
That light blue kit is really nice. The black kit will go down with Hull City's 1992 kit as one of the worst in recent times.
Which begs the question, how would Seattle get all their STHer's on a jersey? I can see them all easily fitting on Sigi's shirt, but, not the regular team jerseys. I guess they could be divided up between the three different kits.
It's all about font size. Colorado is probably like 24 point font, yeah? Seattle's bound to be 2 point.
Having followed the league since its inception, I recognized the inspiration right away. Too bad it is poorly executed. Or maybe it is genius. The design is nearly as ugly as the original.
