The "Thoughts That Don't Require Their Own Thread" Thread IV

We just got two new Jersey's last year.

 

Unintelligent post.

 

Ugh. I grew up there. One is enough.

 

Yeah? What exit? Near the mall?

 

160!

And of course near the mawl! New Jershjjjy is crawlin' with mawls. There was one right down shtreet. Garden State Plaza.

 

And your post positively reverberated with erudition. Upset that I'm hinting for a change in yet another sacred Revs "tradition"? Or still bummed that I dissed your 90s WBCN music? My most sincere apologies are certainly in order for stepping on the toes of one of the 30 losers left that think "everything's going just fine!" with this organization.

 

Oh, I'm aware (and have been for some time)--just think that it's unfortunate (and have for some time). With a new road jersey coming next year, best case scenario for a real legitimate design overhaul would be in 2015. To be clear, I thought the most recent generation of kit changes were incremental--at best--and boring/apathetic--at worst.

To be fair to the Revs, many of the new league jerseys seem to be trending along this incremental/boring axis. It's a failure of imagination. I wonder how much blame should be shouldered by Adidas--consistently the least appealing of the major brands in the realm of world football kits.

 

1.) Adidas designs the jerseys, although teams can have some input
2.) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like most MLS uniforms. I'm also a fan of Schalke's kits, designed by Adidas.

 

That's got nothing to do with it, bro. The Revs are on a different cycle right now in regards to jerseys changes, there are several other teams who won't be releasing new kits either. MLS/Adidas have changed the kits cycles starting next season so that every team releases at least one new kit year during Jersey Week. So IMO, blaming the Revs for something they have little to no control over is unintelligent. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. The most ironic thing is that your criticizing me as being someone who thinks everything is going fine for this organization, when in reality I think everyone on this forum would categorize me as exactly the opposite. Unfortunately people like you who complain about everything, even the things that the organization has little to no control over, get grouped in with the reasonable, intelligent, but critical posters on this forum as "NNNs."

As for the current kits, I think most people really liked the new designs that launched last year. Embracing the New England flag was a nice touch, as was getting rid of the silver, Jr. Patriots look. I'm not sure what your beef is, but there's only so much they can do given Adidas involvement.

I really like the design of the present home kit. I think it will prove a classic.

 

He's a player that will play long into his years in Europe, unless you're offering a nice amount of change.

 

I think Bengston being here def. gives us a leg up. If Wigan go down this year who knows, that move may be worth some speculation mid season. Andy Driver coming to MLS and Jerry staying in MLS despite his consistent and continued Olympic and National Team success make me consider that a lot more players may be looking to, or at least think about, joining MLS sides.

 

If FIFA 13 is anything to go by(and I see no reason not to rely 100% on it) the Revs are going to actually be incredibly fun this season. I don't know what it is, but the style of play is awesome with the current lineup. Toja absolutely dominates games at ACM. Bengtson and Sene make perfect runs off one another and Cisse Farrell and Goncalves can push everyone off the ball. So worst case scenario, if this doesn't translate to the field this season, I will at least be owning fools who play as NYRB, LA, or random 3 star Mexican clubs.

 

Every year I get so pumped to see who in MLS was rated at 70 + overall. Not only is FIFA anything to go by, it's everything to go by.

Unfortunately you have to realize that when you are playing as the Revs, they are following your tactics, not Heaps'. So don't expect Heaps' "omelet" to rival your FIFA "omelet", to quote José Mourinho.

 

lolno. Maynor already has offers from all around the EPL tabled for him since his contract expires this summer and it seems he'll be leaving on free. West Ham already offering up the $$$$. MLS isn't a realistic destination for Figueroa. I doubt having Bengtson also helps lol.

 

My post was based purely on speculation. I didn't know that he was in such demand - but judging by your Country, signature, etc. you must follow Honduran players closely.

I would also assume that having Bengston would help the Revs sign Figueroa over a lower level European team, or an MLS team, with absolutely no Honduran connection, all money being equal.

 

I think people assume he's not that good because he plays for Wigan and he's Honduran, but truth be told, he's a player anyone in the EPL would love to have, minus the big Arab Money teams. I don't expect him to leave the EPL any time soon.

Probably right on that Bengtson thing.

 

it never hurts to dream

 

Anyone using Directv on here? I just threatened to leave Directv since my 2yrs contract is up and I was rewarded with 2013 MLS Direct Kick for free along with $20 off/month my current plan. Very satisfied. If anyone currently using Directv, it's worth to give them a call.

 

This may actually require its own thread in the Supporters' Groups section:

Interesting article about the Colorado SGs and how all three have come together to form one unified SG. I know this would probably be opposed to by most Revs SG members, but I think it could be very helpful in terms of improving atmosphere through stronger organization, funding, and overall unity.
