Re: 2012 Jersey- Chicago Quakers Not sure if it made much of a difference, but the Club Seat Holders were each given a free authentic jersey last week at the watch party...
Re: 2012 Jersey- Chicago Quakers Just to clarify, Club Seat holders who renewed before 12/31/11 qualified for a new primary jersey. The watch party was the the opportunity to pick up the jersey. That it what I understood, but if they were just giving out jerseys willy nilly, I'll be upset.
Re: 2012 Jersey- Chicago Quakers Willy Nilly is too much effort with not enough real financial net benefit for the FO. It's either Willy or it's Nilly, but not both. Carry on . . .
Re: 2012 Jersey- Chicago Quakers I also saw a lot of the new home and away jerseys Saturday night. All replicas though I believe. I didn't get a chance to make it to the stadium store, does anyone know if they have the authentics for sale?
Re: 2012 Jersey- Chicago Quakers No mention of qualifying for the jersey...just a watch party for CLub Seat Holders (and family and friends)...with a jersey fitting...also a coupon for putting a name on the back, and if you couldn't make it to the watch party you could pick up your jersey at a home game...(one per seat)...the tag says $110.00... They also gave out MLS pint glasses, Quaker Oats cookies and bars, Magnets, a great buffet including reuben sandwiches, homemade chips and pretzels, veggie plate w/cheese sauce and two free alchoholic beverages (water and soda was free) and if you were lucky enough to win the raffle, a bottle of Jameson's and a gift certificate for an Irish Pub downtown...I was lucky enough.
Re: 2012 Jersey- Chicago Quakers Yep they had authentic ones in the store for the low low price of $119.99.
Re: 2012 Jersey- Chicago Quakers Ha. Season ticket holder discount of 20% though right? Good to know either way.
Re: 2012 Jersey- Chicago Quakers And we all walked uphill in the snow, both ways to Soldier Field to support the Fire . . . Welcome to the club old man. MAWG, can't touch this!
I just saw the new kits for the Minnesota Stars FC. The numbers on the aways have images of the supporters and the supporters logo (Dark Clouds) are on the back, above the number. This would have been a great touch for the FIRE away kits, especially for the loyal S8OT supporters. Link
If the S8 photo they use is primarily red in color, it would stand out perfectly well on our navy New England away jersey.
The number in the picture has areas of light and dark. I could see that six being confused with an eight.
