It's here! Our 2016 Season Kit. #PRFCkickoff #WeAreReady pic.twitter.com/ibpqqepz1Q— Puerto Rico FC (@PRFootballClub) June 9, 2016
Why promote a kit unveiling if all you did was take two minutes to pick it out of a Nike catalog? Meh.
Well considering that Melo graduated from Syracuse and they are nicknamed the Orange so it stands to reason.... Oh YEAH!!!
He never graduated...............only attended for one magical season. Though he is forever Orange thanks to the National Championship he helped Cuse Win, and the Millions of dollars he donated for the basketball training facility in his name.
Having trouble uploading the image, but Puerto Rico's away jersey is just plan grey. It's very disappointing, but expected after seeing their bland home jersey and badge.
From my understanding its more expensive to produce non-template designs for soccer jerseys so they may be trying to save some money on that. Although you'd think with Melo being a nike athlete he'd at least get some intern to help with the design of the jerseys and a break on cost of said jerseys.
Lead time is also probably a factor. Companies are working now to gear up to produce jerseys for 2017. At this time last year Puerto Rico didn't seem to have much of an organization to be working with Nike or anyone else.
