    Probably just a t-shirt with the word "APPLAUSE" across it.

    Not sure, but Red Bulls fans see "new jersey" at every home game!

    You know that big tall metal thing with cars and trucks driving over it that's right next our stadium? Ever look across the river to see what's at the other end of it?

    Ooh nice catch. Could be cool but also like DCU's 2018-19 kit.

    Totally looks like DCU's new kit, only in Union colors....

    From what we can see, it looks sharp. No more center stripe :eek:

    Could be a training top too though.........

    Definitely looks like a blue version of DC’s jersey.

    Always thought the Bimbo logo looks cleaner when it’s not breaking up the vertical stripe. I hope there is still gold sleeves or something though. Then again, maybe they still aren’t ready to commit to a specific shade of gold.

    I can't understand why they'd want to axe the center stripe. Especially in a league where one company supplies all the kits, having a distinct visual identity is really rare.

    Boring and zero identity.

    There have been plenty of fan-made suggestions showing how the center stripe could be better. It's iconic to this team. But in their 8th year they're going to dump it? Maybe they consider it a curse ...

    Not that excited about it. It will grow on us.... like a fungus.

    Kidding aside, I liked the gold stripe for one reason. It was distinctive. Iconic teams do not change the uniforms much. Think Yankee pinstripes, Dodger whites, Cowboys whites, etc. The union had an opportunity to build that kind of rep. They should have left the creativity to the secondary jerseys.

    Dare to be different.

    Changing up the colors of an off-the-shelf adidas template is not different.
