Agreed. I think you've touched on how the vast majority of us feel.

I thought you communists loved red?

For Red Bull, a lil birdie told me that the away jerseys are going to be the new home jerseys and that they will be wearing blue away with red a third kit (for when we play QPR I guess...)

[peabrainedidiot]

seriously this topic is wroth discussing?:rolleyes:

[Beto]

red is a good color and all, but come on now mls!

[CyphaPSU]

I would imagine MLS simply follows (unintentionally) the same pattern you see around the world or in other US sports (college or pro). Red is likely the most popular color to use in uniforms.

[XaviusX]

I liked the fact that Houston Dynamo went with Orange. I'd like to see the next expansion clubs to sport colors such as Green, Purple (like FIORENTINA), and maybe a combination of other colors other than red.

[CRASH 4 ARSENAL]

Red's alright. You just need some white sleeves to balance it out.;)

COMPLAINTS ABOUT MLS Jerseys HAVING TOO MUCH RED = "THREAD" OVERKILL

Seriously, this topic has been whined about in a million different threads already. Did another need to be started?

And wow, no one has EVER suggested purple for a uniform color before...

:rolleyes:

[sidis]

maybe it could be an english influence +)

[Armis36]

Every club should be able to choose which ever color it wants without having to ask permission from the league.

It's up to the clubs, no one else.

[nyrmetros]

ideally, the team club colors and jerseys would be based on the city flag.....

[BakedAlaskan]

At least it's not the gawd awful teal which was the official color of expansion teams in US sports in the 90s . . . Man, that was and still is sickening

[Fiorentina lives!]

Yeh we've overdone the topic :o

But it should be noted:

The MLS is trying to "develop da c-red" by copying everything from the leading world leagues.

Real... FCD... Arsenal... TFC... Dynamo... with more poser names to come for sure. If I were a Crew, Wizards, Fire fan I'd be very worried.

The switch to all red and blue is just MLS wanting to be the EPL. Colorado switched to Avalanche colors but c'mon we all know they had Aston Villa/West Ham in mind.

There is this thinking that hey, if our teams have Euro names and 3/4 of the teams wear the same two colors we will be seen as a legit league.:rolleyes:

That is ridiculous. No, do not ever go back to 96 but... man, this is the other extreme. Business suits are more varied than MLS. Zzzzz.

The point is MLS is desperately trying to join the big boys, but loads of red and poser names won't make the league better or more entertaining if the quality of playing does not improve. And right now while MLS has come a long way, most games are still kinda boring. There is no flair or flavor.

[DCampos]

There is nothing wrong with Toronto or Dallas' names. If anything, those two teams got it right. FCD, and TFC are not poser names at all. I love the simple name of the city or area as the team name. I love it WAYYYYYY more than a name like the "Wizards". Save that cutesy crap for the NBA. Let the FANS invent their own nickname(s) for the team.

I will agree though that "Arsenal" in Colorado pisses me off. Millions of people (who care to even read about the name change) are snickering. I do however like the colors.

And as for the "Red" everywhere...... lets look at the EPL shall we?? Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Charlton, Sheff U. Thats a lot of red too. Theres only so many colors to go around guys.

Come on L.A.!

[wacki26]

Maybe the reason they all pick red is because that is the color of their financial records are in the red for the first 5 years. LOL
Oh well, would like to see some maybe dark blue and neon green or any dark color with a light neon color accent for the home jerseys and the neon jersey and dark color for the shorts for the away unis. The Barca uni's are a good example of what I'm getting at here
Just a thought

[pjae]

we have an old galaxy jersey which is total crap. it's a funky teal and the material feels like something you'd wear if you worked at taco bell. bizarre. i'd like to see some colors other than primary, but purple won't show up on the pitch, even green is iffy, especially in a place like giant's stadium (only 1 more season!). the red IS overkill, but what if we all went orange!?!

[dhab]

i somewhat agree with the excessive use of red in teams uniforms, but just to put in my thoughts, i really like all of the old mls jerseys that nike made (san jose clash, galaxy, dallas burn, mutiny, metrostars..etc

[GOREVS3000]

Not only has this thread been beat to death it is also ridicluous. I mean this league clearly needs more blue teams. :rolleyes:
