Man, the Best Buy logo just looks lost on the Chicago Fire shirt

BTW what team is the one next to CF?

[xdanx]

Looks like dallas on the right and crew on the left.

They all seem pretty bland to me.

[appleCORR7]

They all look kinda the same the LA Galaxy one just seems to have 2 stars on it doesnt it?

join the club, it makes the mls seem like more of a joke, but i guess it would be hard for clubs to find manufacturers and sponsors independently

[patrick s.]

the one with BMO is Toronto FC

[wrekinrak25]

don't get me started on the monopoly adidas has on the MLS...

the best buy logo is strang not being yellow and blue

the DC United kit is just blank...a sponsor to be added i would guess? they've just had stripes in the past

but the best is by far the crew, i really like it

[Booroff]

colombus crew shirt is nice as unlike most teams in the mls, they have changed the design of their shirts without changing the teams colour!!!

P.S why is there a new LA Galaxy shirt in the bottom picture. Why do they need a new kit if they only changed it half a season ago???

Not really, in the days before the the exclusive adidas contract, Nike, Reebok (pre-adidas), Puma, Umbro, Kappa and Atletica all had uniforms at one time or another. Please keep in mind that though the exclusive adidas contract (10-years, $150 million dollars) seems like a pittance compared to the rest of the world, it showed confidence from adidas that they believed MLS was going to continue and grow. I, for one, am happy.:D

Regarding the Mickey Mouse aspect of a league having one uniform sponsor for all its' teams, it is not that unusual here in the States. The NFL (Reebok=adidas), the NBA (adidas proper), the NHL (Reebok=adidas) and MLB (Majestic) all have exclusive uniform contracts. Say what you will about our president, gun-laws, healthcare or even our humorous and overly conservative views on the naked body, but those other sports leagues make money hand over fist, so I'm not terribly worried about that Mickey Mouse aspect just yet.;)

Down the road, if the MLS continues to grow and prosper, I'm sure the league will step back and let the teams worry about their respective kit makers.

Oh course this isnt a serious question . . . is it? ;)

[appleCORR7]

The Answer to the LA Galaxy question would be this :

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!

now i feel safe when i go up to toronto to buy a jersey without worrying about a new template.

[Fiorentina lives!]

I hope Seattle uses green as its main color, 'cause MLS kits are as of now bo-ring. The Houston one stands out bigtime in a sea of meh.

[Jaydawgg22]

my only problem with all the mls jerseys being made by adidas is that the three stripes stand out quite a bit, and every jersey has them with the exception of the one houston away jersey with white on white stripes. If the kits were nike or puma it wouldn't be as easily noticed. As for the NBA and MLB and NHL I don't think its as easily noticed on those jerseys because every single one doesn't have such a huge design feature in common. But whatever eventually nike and puma will be back in the game.
