Those Minnesota kits are brilliant. I don't know what it is, like the perfect merger of old school and new, from the logo to the colors just...dang! These are beautiful
Simple and clean. The away kit is brilliant, except for the fact that a black shirt will be incredibly hot in the wrong city. Who's the manufacturer?
I haven't heard any official word, but I hope they stick with Admiral, who were the kit sponsor for the last two seasons.
Couldn't agree more. I haven't heard any official word yet, but I hope they stick with Admiral, who were the jersey producers and sponsors for the last two seasons. It's a relationship that goes back to the days of the Kicks.
Zeus Jones, who did the redesign, have pictures up of four jerseys. Either these are alternates they submitted to the team or they're the "simplified versions" the club will wear during the Spring season. My money is on the latter. Full article here
I'm not a real big fan, but I'm also not sure if the problem is the jerseys themselves. The execution is just terrible. What happened to the clean-cut, professional Scorpions of yesteryear? And where did this despicable gradient and over-saturated red come from? Why didn't Nike do the announce graphic?
Last years jerseys were actually training jerseys from nike. Then at one point the Scorpions stopped sales of the black jerseys because Nike discontinued that line. Then it somehow made it back. Now it seems that these jerseys are the MENS HERTHA jerseys from nike. http://niketeam.nike.com/us/en_US/?l=shop,pdp&pid=448207-012&cid=1&pgid=448207 Hell, it looks like the scorpions just copied and pasted the photo and painted over it, Both pictures have same lines and creases. They even use the same description. Oh and fyi, our third kit from last year was this exact same jersey. Self fabric v-veck (cross-over), forward shoulder seam, self fabric cut & sew contrast chest band, straight hem with twin needle stitch. Embroidered Swoosh design trademark, jock tag, Dri-FIT embroidery. Body width: 22", Body length: 29.5" (size large). Fabric: 100% polyester. Designed in conjunction with Nike exclusively for San Antonio Scorpions FC. Self fabric v-veck (cross-over), forward shoulder seam, self fabric cut & sew contrast chest band, straight hem with twin needle stitch. Embroidered Swoosh design trademark, jock tag, Dri-FIT embroidery. Fabric: 100% polyester.
Should've cleaned out Nike's stock of those training jerseys. Funny how the training jerseys look much classier and professional than these.
Those all look great. I'm a bit confused as to the ribbing on the sleeves, but the overall effect is nice. The alternate is pretty cool too. It's immediately identifiable as a Rowdies kit, but with a whole different color scheme. That's sort of the ideal as far as third kits go. ... is that Home GK kit pink?
The one you're referring to is labelled "Away GK". I think the one you're calling grey is the one I'm referring to. It's probably just my monitor, but it looks just lightly pink.
