Straight from mlsnet.com: http://www.mlsnet.com/MLS/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20060118&content_id=50590&vkey=news_mls&fext=.jsp Sounds interesting.
We've seen mock-ups of them all already, right? (Even the real things in a few cases.) The only one we really want to see is the one they won't be showing. I suppose it will be nice though to see the real thing, who knows, maybe a bunch of you will change your mind about the new DC design. Oh yeah, I seem to recall the KC design looking a little plain. Perhaps that one might be changed a bit?
3rdDegree.net posted photos of FC Dallas' jersey back in November: http://3rddegree.matchnight.com/thirdindex.cfm?page=article&&ArticleID=1032 It'll be interesting to see if the jersey unveiled Friday is identical or if it differs a bit.
The FC Dallas jersey stands out as being overly redundant. FC Dallas is written 4 times on the jersey. Their jersey doesn't look as bad in the new template as some others (DC's is atrocious) though. Overall, I think the template looks horrible, and the downside to the Adidas deal will clearly be the similar jerseys over the next 10 years. Will they reveal Houston by then?
I have to say I agree, I don't like the cookie-cutter nature of the shirts. The Galaxy shirt with the line straight up the front is uuuuuggly. No, they're not revealing Houston. Like someone said, the only one we really want to see.
Hmmmm... now that new uniforms are being introduced throughout the league, I wonder what the odds are that MLS could partner with a manufacturer capable of producing numbers/letters for the various kits IN TEAM COLORS? For example, is it too much to ask that the Revolution take the field in a blue jersey that features a player's number and name rendered in white numbers/letters outlined in red? How about FC Dallas sporting a red-and-white hooped kit that features a player's number and name rendered in blue numbers/letters outlined in white or red? I mean, it looks absolutely miserable when teams that don't feature black in their color schemes have black numbers/names on their kits. Come on, MLS... this is the 21st Century. There's absolutely no reason the kit numbers/names can't be color-coordinated.
that's a team thing, not an adidas thing. To do that a team has to order a large bulk of the numbers in the color. A VERY large bulk. It gets kinda expensive. Well... MLS expensive. You would not think it that bad, but for MLS teams... it's enough to make it not happen.
Me too, but still. I'd like it if it only had it on the back like it is. I don't like it on the front.
That guy should be fired for incompetence. Dude can't even get a calendar or a coffee mug out there. I can get a calendar of my family and a coffee mug with a picture of my kids on it in less than a week. It takes 3 months for me to receive an MLS jersey with a name and number on it.
F*** all THAT, thank BRRCA FAN for posting on these boards...his posts are like legal porn in Iraq (Victoria's Secret catalog).
I think its sad that they are planning to sell them earlier especially when clubs have friendly matches before then!
I own the jersey and I really think they should change something on it. The badge and name both just saying FC Dallas is very redundant. I'm not sure what to replace the name with though.
hold on a second. I have already seen this ball being used here in Europe, even in second division games (Taca de Portugal, SPCovilha vs Vila Mea). about the templates, maybe for clubs it will be the first ones, but the national teams already have their WC jerseys ready and in use....
So would it kill MLS to wear some white shorts with the colored jerseys more often or colored shorts with the white aways? What are the odds?
