    This, and the franchises don't exactly have any negotiating power. It's not like they can go to Nike or Puma if the adidas kit is crap.

    The adidas deal has every franchise by the short & curlies.

    This new shirt looks a lot better if you decide to call the color "MLS Cup Silver".

    Everyone here should try calling it our MLS Cup Silver jersey and see if that makes it a bit more palatable.

    Fans should try to organize "wear yellow" days for some games. Make a wall of yellow and sing about our yellow soccer team. Give a not so subtle hint to ownership.

    My neighbor is their corporate helicopter pilot. Lands it in the neighborhood every year or so for everyone to gawk at.

    Especially if Nashville is in town. I'm hoping Dr. Pete will ensure Nashville always wears their change strip in Columbus.

    What's the hint? That the adidas deal sucks?

    What if we get a black and yellow checker shirt next year? Is that a black shirt or a yellow shirt? If we do have black and yellow checks - something we have never had before - is a gray/white secondary shirt so bad? Just a thought.
    Also IM said many months ago that a sponsor was all set for the shirt but decided to upgrade to the stadium. Scott’s was on the sleeve last year but might have bigger plans for this year? Wouldn’t be the worst outcome.

    I may be pulling this out of my butt, but I think I heard a rumor Scotts was in the running for the naming rights. Was so long ago I can't remember.

    “Our MLS Cup...”
    Nope, can’t do it.
    Although that phrase stands pretty nicely on its own!

    Cool. I'll just drive over there tomorrow. I swear I looked earlier (a couple weeks ago) and they were out. Feeling much better now. Much appreciated.

    Bez's comments do not make me feel good. Not ruling out returning to yellow in the future is pretty weak sauce. Gee, thanks.

    As for these jerseys, they look like warmups. You cannot see the stars, which is high order of magnitude stupidity. And they would look far better with black shorts (or white). Though I guess keeping yellow shorts & socks bodes well for yellow. As does the tweet referencing yellow in the new stadium.

    It says L, XL and XXL are sold out so your choices are S and M.

    Agreed.
    We wear this white and yellow combination at home against them so they have to wear their “acoustic blue” or whatever they call it.

    The CEO is a pretty accomplished private pilot. For awhile he had a P-51 Mustang hangared at CMH. He would take it up and fly patterns all day. That Merlin engine is instantly recognizable.

    he was also one of, of not THE driving force behind 2007’s “Gathering of Mustangs and Legends” air show down at LCK. That was a GREAT Airshow.

    Those were pretty sweet. Taking good airshow photos is next to impossible IMO. These were solid. I had forgotten about the B2. And that F22. I'm in love. That was the first time I'd ever seen one and it did things that still to this day defy the laws of physics.

    I forget which demo team it was, but during their "simulated live fire exercise", the airfield caught on fire and ARFF had to come put it out. I laughed.

    Thanks for sharing.

    When I saw the F22 at the Dayton air show a few years ago I decided not to worry about China so much. From full vertical to slow, stop, level out, and rotate in a jet was unbelievable. No need to outrun them when you can literally hover and track.
    Sounds like the Full kit wanker prefers to design the entire ensemble. Gotta admit today’s shirt isn’t bad but the shorts and socks are retreads. Maybe grey socks or something? Could have used a little more thought. Overall I like and I’ll be purchasing it.

    I love the Black jersey the most so yes i would be pissed .

    these kits are not as bad as the minion kits but also not better by much. It’s not a bad design plain and simple it’s a horrible color way


    With better color way the minion kits could have been fire .

    If they wanted white they should of went similar to the last white jersery with yellow & black on top . If gray was a accent and less prominent with more black & yellow more ppl would be ok with this one year jersey


    I just wish we could just wear this new kit once and only once

    1) He's right of course. The shirt by itself drew more yawns than anything else, with jeers and cheers roughly equal.

    But with the shorts and socks included its not a bad look. I'd still prefer all yellow but his point has merit: at least in this case simply showing the shirt doesn't do the look justice.

    2) When I read this I remembered that according to what we've been told next years shirt is already pretty far along. He has a very good idea of exactly what the final product will be.

    I guess I like to pretend the fans have more power than they actually do :( It's a nice fantasy at least.

    May have been one of the best air-shows I'd ever been to. Though the Bicentennial one at Willow Grove NAS was pretty good (both the Blue Angels and Canadian Snowbirds). It actually was on July 4, 1976.
