    The new home jersey looks exactly like the old jersey, except with a blue bar and a collar as the only difference. They could have at least made the bar a square instead of that weird sine wave looking shape. It's like we will never be free of the 06-07 parentheses jersey.

    Does anyone know how much the deal was worth?

    This is a nice touch:

    Definately a good excuse for picking up a 3rd *cough* Flag jersey when we play any club with a home shirt that is darker than off white.

    Similar to the old best buy one IIRC.

    Pretty sure our red uniform would work just fine against the Revs. Not enough red in theirs or blue in ours to cause serious problems.

    Thinking about it now, though, I'd have preferred the away jersey to be the light blue you see in the pinstripes. That'd be a dark color for home and light for away. As it is, the only times we'll need to wear the away uniform is road games against teams who wear red at home, and we'll have to wear red against any teams that wear blue. Not that there's anything really wrong with that, but I like seeing the away uniforms for about half the games.

    I'd be thrilled with a 3rd jersey that's light blue. If only we'd won the open cup last year, we'd probably have needed a 3rd jersey for the CCL.

    I'd settle for Andrew committing to a third jersey even if only WHEN we qualify for the CCL. A challenge.

    I don't think there's going to be a third kit.

    There has to be a section 8 meme using those hats. For those who would jest about Quakers being soft, remember, Alvin York was a Quaker.

    Exactly. Being a Quaker doesn't mean you're not a complete ********ing bastard.

    EDIT: What is Logan doing with his right hand?

    After sleeping on it the away jersey is pretty good. I'm still partial to the old PUMA's. Looks I may try and find a clearance adidas home from last season.

    Hate the home; really like the away.

    But the more important question...

    Michael Videira or Mike Banner........

    which one is Mikey?

    He had to eat 5 bowls of Quaker Oats before he got that scene right in the promo. What do you think he's doing with his right hand?

    I don't mind the primary at all, it reminds me of some of the earlier collared kits that the team had. I think it's great that there will not be an all-white kit this year, that said, I would have much preferred something more like the flag jersey (especially WRT color) than what they ended up with. Looks too New England-y for my taste, perhaps the final product in action will look better.

    Is this the first year that the stripe isn't going to be white (Home)?
