Too boring! I want a space city blue swirl! Or at least one space city blue sleeve! Or a black second kit! Or blood orange! I want anything except this! (Does that cover all the objections?)
Willing to bet its where it is on the current ones-like a jock tag. What we probably don't see-there is probably some orange piping down the flanks.
Nice and clean look. I like it better than last years. I do wish they'd mix it up with another color but tradition is good too.
I think the Dynamo are smart not to give up their "Brand" for a cheap buck. They will continue to rock the orange and white which is smart. People that watch the league immediately know when the Dynamo are playing.
I agree... being the orange team in the league.. and staying true to the basic vision is good for the brand and team.
I dont hate it. For simple, i think it does it right. I never really am upset by not having a a drastic new jersey or not heavy utilizing a space city blue or black, but I really just want to make sure those things are on the table for future jerseys. Dont mind being told i cant have it, but get upset when im told I wont ever have it. Also I feel like you saving drastic changes for when you need to give your club a boost and a restart when they are in the gutters. I say we save the cool stuff for a rainy day and let our winning to the talking. Reminds me of when the 'Stros got their new video board. All the advertisements going into the season said nothing about a great player or run for a pennant, but rather... come out to see our new video board!
One thing I noticed: In the kit release video, it appears our badge may also have holographic background, like Chicago & LA. The holographic pattern appears to be 5-point stars. Will do up a screenshot when I get a chance tomorrow. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...=a.155734696149.125016.20105631149&type=1
For comparison's sake... Chicago's Holographic badge. SKC's holographic badge. Gals Holographic badge.
http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/artic...-fire-introduce-new-home-kit-plenty-more-blue nice move Chicago (sarcasm)-if we put that much black or space city blue on our primary jerseys, there would be a Coup over at the offices at GRB. Wow-I wonder who's call it was to put that much blue on there. Seattle's 3rds are really nice-damn, that pains me to say that, but they are sharp.
BTW, I looked up the jersey combos for 2013 in all competitions: MLS, MLS Playoffs, CCL, Open Cup (Shirt-Shorts-Socks) Home (24 games) Orange-White-Orange: 20 games Orange -Orange-Orange: 1 Red-Red-Red - 3 Away (23 games) Orange-White-Orange: 12 Orange -Orange-Orange: 5 White-White-White: 4 Red-Red-Red - 2 The difference in Home and Away is because the Montreal playoff round was just one game.
That's the main reason I looked it up. In 2013 we wore the white shirts 4 times. Our record in those games was 0-2-2. In 2012 we wore the white shirts 4 times. Not sure on the record but it couldn't have been good. Maybe we will wear the white shirts more often this year but I wouldn't bet on it.
