Paying homage to their status as the "other" Los Angeles soccer team by wearing one of our "other" jerseys. A touching gesture and appreciated.
Yep. Great for YouTube, bad for LAFC. On a white shirt, with washed out primary logos your eye goes straight to the play button and stays there, the black shirt is a little better, but not by much. Red is just way too striking of a color to surround it with such subdued colors. Maybe if they pair it with the right socks and shorts it might come together, but as a shirt it’s not working. The visual weight of elements on the Galaxy Punjab kit on the other hand is considerably more balanced. Herbalife gets the immediate notice because of its size and higher saturation than the Galaxy crest, but your eye doesn’t get stuck on it.
I know it has nothing to do with the actual design, but the unlike our sponsor, the Youtube logo doesn't make you noticeably wince.
I just got a sneak peak at the @LAFC uniforms that will be revealed tomorrow morning at 7 a.m.👌🏼 pic.twitter.com/5tRdg3nZWT— Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) February 23, 2018 We need a Chrome plug-in that replaces the words “clean, classic and elegant” with “boring as fuck” in tweets and articles about MLS kits.— Pablo Iglesias Maurer (@MLSist) February 23, 2018
Wow how cutting edge and original !? How f#cking boring !!! We did it first and made it look better. Losers Along the Figueroa Corridor, way to distinguish yourselves
I'm tired of the banter with these pretentious futbol snobs. I just want to beat them on the field already, I feel a lot better about this season with players coming in healthy.
Even you must admit that with the sponsor logo not color coordinated with the team colors that these look awful. If youtube had allowed for their logo to be all black or Gold it would be better. Still boring but better. The white in particular looks like a promotional tshirt from youtube cannoned up into the crowd at a sporting event.
lol I agree. Still acceptable though. Looks to me as if the front office didnt have the balls to tell their sponsor in the inaugural season that their logo looks shit on the shirts
I always loved the black and gold Galaxy shirt. But man, the white and red YouTube logo just ruins the LAFC shirt. Yikes!
Yes the Losers were venturing out of the "city limits" peddling their garbage to anyone who'd take it. It was probably a special broadcast event on U Toob TV
LAFC just announced they’ve sold their allotment 17,500 season tickets for the season. First huge congratulations to them, I had questions about what “sell out” meant, those questions have been answered and there’s no other way to frame it than an unmitigated success. Secondly everyone involved with the Galaxy should be embarrassed today, I mean they should have been many, many times in the past, but let’s be clear. LAFC came in to the LA market and without anything sold more season tickets before a ball was kicked than the Galaxy every have. And if the numbers floating around about LA’s ticket sales are to be believed more than doubled the Galaxy’s. There’s zero reason the Galaxy couldn’t sell 15,000 season tickets. As stated elsewhere, this should be the make or break season for the marketing/ticket sales department. LAFC announcing 15,000 season seats sold is the equivalent of that CCL game in Tijuana when TJ went up 2-0 inside the first 10 minutes … and unlike that Galaxy team there ain’t no Robbie Keane in the marketing department to make the scoreline look respectable.
Thoroughly humiliating. Though where the hell have these soccer hobbyists been for the last twenty years? The other tragedy here is that MLS will likely point to this "triumph" as proof positive that our stadiums need to be in downtown locations, thus "justifying" Precourts efforts to drag the Crew to Austin.
:BrokenRecord: Klein got extended for 5 years, after bringing up our second team coach to the first, in order to groom our youth. We let go of our coach, had our worst season ever, let go of all of our youth, dropped attendance, dropped viewership, dropped season ticket holders. WTF
I’m pretty down on the “real soccer fan” mentality, but an equally pressing question is clearly they’ve been in LA and the Galaxy have failed either by incompetence or complacency to go out and find them. I'm a former season ticket holder, I’ve also bought tickets for a ChivasUSA home game once so I ended up on LAFC’s mailing list. Without question I’ve had LAFC email me more than the Galaxy in the past year. Direct mail too, while I couldn’t confidently say LAFC has sent me more, but one is within spitting distance of the other. LAFC are basically taking a flyer on me, it’s a low cost, high return proposition for them. The Galaxy spending a similar amount of money on me is – well it certainly goes a way to explaining why they sold 7500 season tickets this season.
As a current season ticket holder, I'd be interested in knowing the total number of "former season ticket holders" there are out there for the Galaxy over the 21 year history of the club. I bet the number is large. I bet there are a myriad of reasons why someone drops out. You are clearly one of the Galaxy's largest fans. Why don't you still have season seats? I have 4. I know it's hard to use them all of the time but the way I overcome that issue is by having the cheapest seats in the stadium and over the past 4 years I've never not been able to recoup my cost selling on stubhub (usually even make a small profit). As a result I feel like my season seats are a very low risk investment to me. Dashiel, why did you quit?
Honestly, I think they're (LAG sales) lazy. They seem to rely on social media and magical emails to drive sales. At some point, sales people have to grind it out by talking with and getting in front of people. Call me old school, but at some point you need some "boots on the ground", right? I'd love to hear from our sales and marketing folks around here like @Berks
I mean...over the long term...I feel that its been crystal clear that AEG doesn't subscribe to the "sell out every game, have a waiting list for season tickets..." model that most clubs do. I'd argue that starting with when Beckham came in, AEG clearly decided it would rather average 22,000 fans with an average ticket price of $80 then average 27000 fans with an average ticket price of $50. Everything they've done has been about maximizing revenue. I think this can be short sighted because if you sell out with a waiting list you can then start pushing prices higher but that really isn't how AEG operates it's sports teams. Same was true of the LA Kings. It was only 2 Stanley cups in 3 years that lead to consistent sell outs. When Becks came in, the demand bump was there for a tradition of sellouts to have begun but AEG went a different way. You can argue what's the right move but it's their team. That said, constant turnover in the sales teams doesn't help. Seemingly having few Spanish speakers (can't say this for sure, just my observation) can't help. There is a long list of things they need to do better and hopefully LAFC will be the inspiration for that to occur. I've seen a few promising signs in my interactions with my ticket rep this year.
Little one arrived and the first 18 months was absolute murder on sleep. Two to four hour stretches, but no more than 6 total hours a day. Could barely muster the energy to stream games let alone drive 50 miles each way.
