    Any idea when the new jerseys are coming out? Looking around the league, I'm getting excited for what Adidas has in store. This is shaping up to be one of the best years for design in the league's history.

    Our jersey should be the same as last season's jersey, just with a different wordmark on the front.

    I'm more concerned with what will be occupying the inside of the jersey at this point.

    To Frank Klopas and Mike Jeffries:

    Sincerely,

    :D

    I've heard both home and away will have a different design this season. Plus a new sponsor (hopefully). That has thrown a monkey wrench in to the timing I'm sure.

    Or some 2011 signings that aren't total crapshoots

    That is a shame. I really liked the away shirt with the Chicago flag design on the side panel. I guess new jersey sales is another revenue source.

    You're asking for too much.

    Not if you don't make them available for purchase.
    :mad:

    That's true. You got a legit gripe there. It was the same for the last away jersey too. I had to wait for the locker room sale to pick up this past season's away jersey. And I got lucky and was able to get a hold of a longsleeve one from two seasons ago. Once size too big, but it'll have to do.

    With the team looking to scratch and claw for every $, I'm surprised they haven't convinced Adidas to sell the away jerseys retail.

    This year's jersey's don't do much for me. I'm holding out for next season in the hopes that the hoop returns to the away jersey.

    The jerseys are exactly the same as last year, and were always going to be. adidas' cycle has us scheduled to change in even-numbered years.

    This info was already posted in the sponsor thread if I remember correctly. Unless something has changed last minute, the design will stay the same and "FIRE" replaces "BEST BUY". But it is unknown what the away will feature as the authentic version has not been shown yet. I guess we should find out as soon as Saturday since F*C* Dallas has their hoops home jersey?
     
  17. actually, it is known that there is going to be no change to the authentic away shirt except it is not going to say BEST BUY

    Except that the home says "FIRE" and the away says nothing. To me, these shirts didn't do much for me in 2010 and do even less for me in 2011. I get that some people who hate sponsors will like going back to FIRE for a short time, fine, but having a blank away shirt that is devoid of any sort of style or branding is pointless. I'd take a $2 Hanes undershirt before that rag.

    Yeah, hopefully they change the away jersey to say CHICAGO or FIRE. It'd be pretty odd to have writing on the home jersey and not the away.

    I actually really like the design of the home jersey, though, aside from the rubber straps that so many Adidas jersey have these days. I think the stripe is a nice balance between the completely straight stripe from '08-09 and the ridiculously wavy one from '06-07. I definitely plan on picking one up before they get a new shirt sponsor.

    I should have been more clear. I meant the design. But yes, no BB sponsor logo. I agree with the others, I hope they put Chicago on there like they did in the past. I don't see why not if they are going with Fire on the home jerseys.
