Adidas kits for SJ in '05

Those look great, especially the latter.

 

I hope it's the black ones. They look much better than the white.

Next thing, you'll be telling me you've become a liberal.

I kid, I kid.

 

Agreed.

 

Black and blue? I thought that was Colorado's mantra. I always loved the white sleeves a la Arsenal. That 2001 look was superb. Bring back white sleeves!

 

The Premio jersey just has too many lines, too many frills IMO. It'd work better if it was just two main colors, blue and black, no white. But you can't put black stripes on black shorts. And you can't put blue stripes on a blue jersey. So you could go with both the jersey and shorts blue, with black trim / stripes. That would be somewhat similar to KC, though, with a different shade of blue, and black instead of white trim / stripes. Or you could go black with blue stripes / trim, but then it'd be similar to DC and Columbus (anyone else?) who wear primarily black unis.

 

I order to better differentiate the Quakes from KC (especially now that both are outfitted by adidas), I think KC should be the first MLS team to adopt the white tops/white shorts/ blue socks look as their first choice (home) kits.

black and blue...


Dude, you should seroiusly pass that along to SJ and adidas as a scheme to look at...if they haven't already cause ....


that shite is tigghhtt..booooooyyyyyyyyy

 

I think having the white stripes does wonders for balancing the jersey and shorts. creates a nice contrast methinks.

cant wait to see what adidas comes up with

 

just caught on the tail end of this discussion, but i think the white stripes kind of suck.

 

Hey that looks pretty classic cool. Oh yeah, because it doesn't have a big stupid EARthquAKES (tm) splashed across it.

 

The White Stripes totally suck. But I didn't think this thread was about music.

 

I liked the video they did with the LEGO, but that's all I know about them.

 

the white adidas stripes I like. lol sorry

I've updated the blue/black with the Earthquakes wordmark now.

the quality of the word mark aint great, but i couldn't be bothered scanning the wordmark off my own jesery

whats you guys think now?

 

Well, if we HAVE to use an existing template, the mock up you worked out looks pretty good.
I still don't understand why professional teams can't have their own one-off designs (and that goes for Nike and the rest, not just adidas).

I attended practice today (Tuesday, 2/1) and the new training gear looks almost exactly like this kit. If you take away the white stripes down the arms, change the neckline to a basic V neck and remove the Quakes' wordmark across the chest, the jersey is right on the money. They were wearing basic black training shorts (about knee length) with a white number on the left leg.

Given that this is what the new training strips look like, that would lead me to believe the the actual game kits will be a bit more "elaborate."

 

Adidas logo on upper right...Quakes badge on upper left...no wordmark on chest....basic MLS numbers on back w/ no names.

I agree with what you said earlier in this thread...I can't wait till those new jerseys are released for public purchase. I'd love to have one on for Opening Day as well. However, I also intend to have mine customized and I doubt Cal Custom would allow that before the Quakes get to unveil them.

 

Considering all the recent roster changes, I think it would be wise to design the new jersey with, instead of the team crest, a "HELLO, My Name Is" badge.

 

I still think the White Stripes kind of suck.

 

how about these white stripes?

 

It would be kind of tough to play in kits with zippers down the front. Not to mention which, our guys would get teased horribly by the other teams.

GO QUAKES!!
