    The new gold and tweaks to the logo are big improvements imo. My only issue is the use of gradients on both of these new logos.

    They gave you gold and now you're demanding it doesn't have a gradient

    so they added vertical stripes to the emblems but somehow forgot to add them to the uniform? Am I understanding correctly?

    Apparently you can't have both.

    Maybe they just moved/downsized it from the shirt to the crest. That way if fans complain about losing the stripe, they can say, "No, it's still there. We just moved/downsized it from the shirt to the crest."

    Criss cross lines or nothing. Just progressively larger X's starting in the neck down.

    Hey y'all. My bad no post in a while been busy moving to Texas as s**t.

    In regard to our new kit.... You heard it here first.... at some point during next season a large group of people are gonna be groaning for our good stripe back. Why will this happen? I don't know. When? Same answer. But it will happen.

    In regard to the kit I won't say I hate it but i won't say i like it. Don't get me wrong it looks good but without our classic representations I feel like we're missing something.

    Alas maybe it signifies us moving away from the old... however it just seems to me another failed marketing campaign to mask the lack of commitment from our backers.

    Any replys on these ideas would be great
    I've been starved from soccer talk since I've moved down here

    Ok here is my take. I hate the jersey sponsor! It stands out and does not blend in with the rest of the jersey. It is an eye sore! If anyone is on the fan council could you mention how atrocious the jersey sponsor is and how fans hate it. Other then that, it is a clean looking jersey.

    On another note, when do they go on sale?

    Why could this not be the jersey! The jersey sponsor looks clean!

    They’ve always sort of looked like a liga mx team since they got the Bimbo sponsorship... and I sort of secretly like that if I’m being honest... but I’m weird.

    Except that Liga MX jerseys (any many other leagues too) have more sponsors than NASCAR uniforms. I'm sure the Union would try this to boost revenues if the league would let them.

    Considering all the other Bimbo-sponsored shirts they had on display the day they formally announced our shirt sponsorship, they liked it, too.

    Showing off the kit and then waiting three weeks to sell it seems like a Union move to me.

    (I'm sure there's logistical reasons, but eh, ********'em.)

    Which is weird, cause getting paid and not delivering seems aligned with the mission statement.

    What is this exactly? I'm supposed to affix these patches to my jeans? Is this a thing?

    The last time I had a patch on my pants was when I was 11 and my mom fixed the hole in the knee that I made playing football in the school yard. If that happened today to my kid's pants, I would just buy them another pair of pants.

    Where is the "Bimbo" patch? How did they not pick up on the marketing opportunity?

    Can we slap one of the Union patches on their bear for a few years?

    I submitted damn near 60,000 useless union points to win one of the 5 Doop Hoop jerseys they were auctioning off... apparently that wasn’t enough to win an offseason raffle that was promoted by literally one boarderline spam email.

    The GK shirts are pretty sweet. I'd pick one of them up.
