Our only women's tee: http://www.mlsgear.com/product_detail.asp?CAT=cat-womens&SKU=1009196 The Crapids' only women's tee: http://www.mlsgear.com/product_detail.asp?CAT=cat-womens&SKU=1009732 I may be mistaken, but they seem to be similar. What happens if there's a road trip, and all the women in both sections are wearing a stupid pink shirt with a flower on it? Can it get any lazier?
But the site says there is a logo (I assume it is the team logo) on the right back shoulder, so they are not identical.
You can get this t-shirt from MLSGear outlet: Women's Premiere Logo Tee They had some other stuff at Christmas time which I bought for several family members - but the customer service was truly the pits.
Agreed on bad customer service. DW had a horrid time with them in trying to purchase a new Real jersey for me for my birthday back in March.
My wife ordered my custom jersey in the first week of December and it didn't get here until February and that was with expedited shipping.
You know what i am sick of is the stereotypical pink that is bandied about as standard apparel colors for women. I think the color unfairly characterizes women as females and casts their contributions to the sport into a disparaging light.... NO More Pink! [/joke]
While I realize that you were making a joke, it is true that many women don't wear pink. My wife, for example, does not weak pink shirts and prefers not to wear the unisex or men's shirts that RSL/MLS offers. So she makes her own instead.
Simple solution to show RSL and their apparel makers you mean business.....go topless. Problem solved!
So Checketts should do what DC United's new owners did...push adidas to make DC gear in women's and children's sizes. Will Chang, one of the owners, is also an owner of the SF Giants, and understands that getting a team's gear out into the public is an essential part of marketing it. That's not going to happen if only men's sizes and cuts are available. He is also making deals with many merchandisers to sell the stuff, including, of course, Dicks. So tell Dave that to show his support of his fans and to market RSL, he should make similar demands of adidas for RSL gear. If enough owners make this push, they just might listen.
Maybe the MLS should only sell blue men's shirts with American footballs on them, the only difference in each team's design being a tiny white crest on the back corner where no one will notice it. That will really generate public awareness and establish team identity. [/joke?] I'm going to try to swing by Trolley Corners today or tomorrow (thanks for the tip, DadOf6), so I'll let you know what the MLS isn't selling on their site.
Yeah, they may have had a blanket design last year, but thanks to the prominent crest, it still feels like a team shirt.
