    It's dark but looks like US kit with neon base


    And they get it up Twitter as I crop Snapchat screenshot.



    I don't know about the green sleeves....

    I like this template so I like the design and even a hint of green is better than no green in the league. Baby steps

    So I guess the all-white away kit thing isn't true, then?

    Seems so. Perhaps some new restrictions were made that some misinterpreted. I imagine some teams may not have been happy with Dash's alternative kit last year as may have impacted what host team could wear? At the moment no one wears a home neon and/or green kit.

    I definitely expect the Thorns to switch to this design. The only question is if it is for both home and away. I'll admit a red and black would look cool

    I think that any of the 2 "primary" color kits (aka where two distinct colors were in fairly equal amounts) were problematic. So Houston's away, Orlando's away, Chicago's away, Washington's home, and WNY's away. FCKC's home was OK (IMHO) because it was all blue, but I can see how it might cause a problem playing against SBFC who only had blue kits. Though that I blame on SBFC, not FCKC.

    If I were setting the regulations, I'd say every team should use the same template for their primary (aka home) and alternate, and use a completely different primary color for the alternate. (So Portland and Seattle got it right last season). And teams should just always wear their primary unless visiting a team whose primary clashes (so Seattle would wear the blue against Houston and Portland, but the lime against Boston Chicago, and FCKC).

    And of course thorns now with the tweet showing off same template. Guessing this would be new home jersey.

    It's an odd year so Washington has a new kit using the gradient template

    From what I heard, the company that supplies the badges, names and numbers screwed up which has delayed the unveiling for several teams.

    It's like NWSL Season 1 and the Hertha all over again... Great to see the league and Nike have made so much progress in these 5 seasons.

    A small criticism. At least three NWSL teams last weekend (Chicago, Houston, Washington) wore jerseys that fade to white up around the shoulders. As a result the players' names, written in white, are completely obscured. Why don't they outline the names in black at least? Right now they are illegible.

    No wonder they didn't want to announce it...
