Adidas kits for SJ in '05

Guy, what a shocking revelation! I thought they were going to design completely new and totally unique uniforms just for us!!

Some of adiddas' standard kits are pretty decent looking. I'd like to see some differences beyond color and logo, but what the heck. As long as they look good and we can find them in stores, you know?

GO QUAKES!!

I've been kind of hoping it will be something like Newcastle's home kits:

Except in Quakes blue of course.

 

You mean something like what they wear at Deportivo La Coruna?

 

God, if you're listening...please, no vertical stripes.

Huh. Been wearing adidas since the 70s, and the first time I heard "all day I dream about sex" was in the Korn song a.d.i.d.a.s. from '96 or so. Was there an earlier song making the reference?

 

It was high comedy in my 3rd grade class in the early 80's.

 

Vertical stripes with white as one of the colors is especially dorky. But I've always liked the Barca shirts. The USMNT could do a lot worse that stealing that look...

 

When can you spill the beans anyway??? When will it be officially made public??? I'm itching to buy one right now.

 

No? You prefer horizontal stripes a la Glasgow Celtic?



I'd like to see Orange away jerseys. Really.

[I like the way that many European teams change their away jersey year-in and year-out and wear colors that have nothing to do with their official colors.]

 

Especially compared to the ultra-dorky current USMNT kits where the numbers look like pool balls and the name panel on the back looks like a hockey jersey. For the Quakes, blue and black vert stripes (like Inter has worn) would be better than blue and white. But I prefer none. Even though I hate typing the "C word," I'd like to see the new tops look something like Chelski's.

 

vertical stripes....colors? blue & black--see Rapids....

the Clash had horizontal stripes...

the Chelski kit is simple and elegant. too bad only poofs wear them...

 

I've been looking at current adiddas jerseys. I rather like the Beyern Munich away jerseys. Just plain blue with the stripes on the shoulders. Nice and simple.

Too many MLS teams wear blue. We've got to change that! Some team should go to orange, or even purple. Something other than red and blue.

GO QUAKES!!

Forgot. Scratch that. Although blue/black vert stripes still look miles better than blue/white.

Using that logic, the Gals should switch to blue.

Good choice.

I figure there's probably a picture of the generic design at Eurosport.com. Wish the Quakes would get their asses in gear and roll these new unis out.

(Actually, I liked those.)

 

Even Guy looked good in those...with or without hard hat.

 

It was high comedy in my 3rd grade class in the 70's. Just one of those urban legends that kids talked about.

I've got no idea. The one who showed the drawings didn't give a date. I forgot to ask.
It's literally one of adidas' blank standard kits (which is currently available) with Quakes colors and logo.

 

Still proudly wearing my number 6 with Chastain on the back...

(if only people would stop asking to see my sportsbra)

 

fixed...

 

I'm with Meanie. No stripes on the body, please, vertical or horizontal.

I remember when the white with w' black stripes adidas sneakers thing hit (also grade school for me in the 70's). I thought they were the coolest thing in the world. But my parents couldn't rationalize spending that much money (whatever it was) for sneakers, so they instead bought some cheap knock-off with the incorrect number of stripes, etc. at what is now Target. I've never recovered.

 

What I like is that training camp opens next week and, I don't know, you might think adidas and MLS would want to highlight their new relationship by having training gear available to the fans? Or will the Quakes who are in camp next week be wearing last year's Nike training jerseys?

Like this?

 

In the 60s, I got my faux adidas, 4-stripe leather hightops with the web thing over the toe at... JC Penny. But that was before I knew what adidas was...

 

How boring.



But I'll still be queueing up to buy one very soon after they are posted on the web.

 

I guess I just like originality, instead of just a different shade of blue. I also was keen on the black shorts and blue socks. I hope they keep those no matter what the tops look like.

In all actuality, I suppose I don't really care what they look like. The fact that they exist for this season and the future is enough for me. I can't wait until I can support the team with more than just a jersey buy.
