    LOL. That's pretty much Sutton's keeper jersey. :D

    Considering that the game is on a Thursday, yes.

    Do you really think that 2 or 3 months ago MLS was searching the forums and saw that a small group of people were going to protest at the all star game and wear black so they decided to make the jersey black????

    LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Team colours for jersey's a decided at least a year in advance. MLS has to get approval within the organization, choose a corporate sponsor for the front - get their approval for design and colour, get artboards, blah blah blah - they don't decide in two months.

    Ya seems impossible considering how unique that design is. Man they must have spent a year soming up with the Pepsi logo, the generic adidas shirt and the all star game logo. No way they could make a decision like that in a month or two from a possible rumour, no chance!

    wow... your looking at a replica jersey with a screen print on the front and back so yes it looks cheap.

    Why do you think its black and not blue or red?

    Let's look a little deeper. Its not a red jersey which everyone thought it would be because red and a soft drink is associated with Pepsi's rival - Coke.

    blue - well, guess who is the major corporate sponsor of BMO field - BMO and they axed the idea of having a blue jersey with a pepsi logo on it plus they already the blue practice jersey with a BMO hit on it.

    So really what's left? Maybe they should have worn green... But of course your right.. they could have made those decisions in a month or two and those are the same jersey's that the players are wearing

    HI
    Wow, that isn't even a cool black jersey. It reminds me of something my team wore two years ago in the over the hill league. I think our jerseys were Jogo, but honestly It would be hard to tell the difference.

    Even a Chelsea third jersey color would've been better. Lime Green? Absolutely!

    Okay then this decision was made 4 years ago :) They wore blue for last years game and red the year before. The black decision is as far fetched and the sponsor one is logical.
