    I found a few other threads about this, but could not find anything recent about whether these jerseys are available, and if so, from where. Thanks in advance.

    They're not available. Every once in a while one will show up on eBay, but it well set you back roughly $125.

    why adidas doesn't make them i will never know - they are easily the most sought after fire jersey ever

    I have one but it's not for sale, but far the best CHICAGO jersey I own. The next jersey I'll buy will be the one with the sponsors logo on the front on it. If we ever get a sponsor on the front of are jersey, and addidas does make the CHICAGO flag jersey I don't know how that would work and look.

    I regret that this will come across as pedantic, but please note that "are" is a plural linking verb, as in, "These socks ARE red." The plural possessive is "our," as in "OUR team has improved recently."

    Wow! How long does it take her to put on THAT face? ;)

    My favorite Fire shirt. Would like to see it come back as a 3rd kit.

    I get the impression that the Andell people are going to be very hands on and very receptive to comments and ideas. I think if enough people let them know that we like (and will buy) this shirt, we will see them again.

    They also like money. They should know the ebay history.

    That was definitely a great shirt, with my only minor complaint being the redundant flag opposite the club crest.

    Hopefully someone can knock some sense into Adidas.

    Two minor complaints. That, and the crest wasn't embroidered.

    It's that much better if they can answer affirmatively to both questions.

    Three minor complaints. That, and the stars weren't against a white background.

    Ever since the fire used the yellow jerseys as part of their partnership with morelia, I've wondered why they don't just do away with their all-white road uniforms. Either go with yellow (which really would make sense for a team named the fire) or the sky blue chicago flag jerseys.

    We were supposed to move to the light blue away in summer 2005, starting in the 2006 season. adidas and the league put up a fight against it. Still have comps listing the then-in-development light blue fire shirt as the "2006 away".

    Then there was the leadership change, and it got lost in the woodwork afterward.

    At some point its probably asking too much for Adidas to use a design that didn't come through their cookie cutter templates.

    I remember e-mailing them about it when they first signed the MLS deal (I think there was some sort of campaign) and they came back with a standard canned response (we greatly appreciate your input.... blah).

    The Chicago Flag kit should be brought back, especially with all the clubs wearing red now. At a Fire sale a few years ago, I bought six pairs of CFk socks. I think I paid a dollar each pair. I bought a jersey also, but the largest size they had was medium....

    A good fourth kit would be all navy with white 'FIRE' on the jersey.

    the proposed design was on the same template as the current home and away shirts.
