Highlights of the opening match, with Alioum did, but more importantly a first actual look at the Adidas kits that will be used going forward for EURO 2016, the MLS regular season, Olympics, and other competitions:
Thankful up here we change Adidas kits every four years with the World Cup. I'm glad they have gone back to black instead of the dark blue, but it looks very plain and boring. The yellow looks like it is old and faded and what is with that weird neckline/collar?!
I dunno, I quite liked the change of pace with the navy. My least favorite color of the 2014WC kit was the yellow, but I grew to really like the whole set. Not sold on the new one yet. I'm glad to see black as an option. I think the piping down the sleeves is kind of ugly, though. I'll probably pick up some of the new kit, especially as the WC2014 kit becomes harder to find for newer referees. Like you, though, I'm glad that we try our best to standardize on the every-four-years cycle with the WC kits!
