I'm tempted. I'll probably see what comes out next year since I already paid for this year's authentic Fire jersey and I'll have trouble containing my jersey purchasing impulses when I go to Portugal next month.
I don't buy jerseys (too old) but I like the campaign because it has made me aware of what Parley is and I will get some Parley shoes.
After having watched several games with these monochrome uniforms, I have to conclude this is one of the dumbest and annoying gimmicks I've seen. Having all the teams wear the same colors? Whatever the point is, it seems counter productive. I want to see my team's (and the opponent's) regular colors. Not the same colors game after game. Horrible idea.
I'm guessing they could, but that they wouldn't sell as many if the jerseys were the same color as the ones the teams already wear. It'd be great if they could incorporate the team colors somehow though.
Bingo. Plus teams like Chicago never seem to get jerseys in anything but our usual colors. I still may get one of I see one in a shop somewhere.
Just realized something: LA Galaxy's kit man made sure to print 5 stars on their shirts, something no other team (that I saw) did...
I think the Crew will do a soft rebrand when they move into their new stadium (or maybe even prior to that as the new Ownership didn't have time for it so far to be honest). They'll still be yellow/black and the Columbus Crew. Probably getting rid of the "Precourt" logo, loose the SC and focus on #96 as the #SaveTheCrew movement kinda did. --- I'm happy the recycle kits (all teams look-a-like) weekend is past us, just a shame the many white ones won't go away ... Miss the days were the teams mostly played in their primary, no matter whether it was at home or on the road and only switched to the secondary/tertiary for color clashes or special occasions.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the original Crew crest. Not because it wasn't awful, but just because it's one of those relics of the 90s when US Soccer was coming into its own in this country and everything was a little ridiculous. It was like some NYC-based art consultant had an assignment for the team and thought "Hmmm, Ohio...the Midwest...a blue collar theme would fit perfect!". Nevermind the fact that Columbus is as much of a professional class city as you'll find anywhere in America. The current Crew crest is just ok. Tries visually to do too much at once, but it's far, far, from the worst in the league.
Tonight the Crew played the Galaxy in Cbus. Crew wore yellow. LA wore white. I certainly am not complaining (I think teams should wear their primary colors whenever possible), but this seemed to fly in the face of the whole “light vs dark” thing MLS was trying to do this year.
I watched highlights of LA Galaxy at NY RedBulls from last weekend. the Galaxy wore dark blue, RedBulls wore red - the colors were too similar, both were kind of dark. Last time I checked (admittedly a previous season) both teams primary colors were white shirts. One of them should have worn their primary white.
Redbulls primary is gray, but I agree with you they should have wore them and their primary jersey's are new. You would think they'd wear them as must as possible, considering they are new.
Seems like red vs blue is usually enough contrast that it can be used. Probably it should have been white vs red or grey vs navy. I’m all for wearing primaries as often as possible.
Feel free to start a 2020 thread if wanted Info about Miami Yawn. Primary is white/white/white and secondary is black/black/black.
The black one is going to look really cool. Seems inevitable that a Pink jersey surfaces eventually, even if not in year one. The people are going to want what the people are going to want.
