I agree with you--you guys look great in the blue&white, too. Colo should have just put on their black shorts and there would be clash. Yet another sign of how much MLS controls everything. 5 days in advance!?!? Does anyone know why you did it though? Any reason besides "because we'd look good"?
How about that noon game versus the Metros? I remeber KC not using their normal jerseys and the Metros used their away kit...
Thats bull$hit... personally i like the blue tops and white shorts much better than all blue... its more original i think... i cant believe MLS fined the team for wearing what ever kit they want at home....
Well, it's all in the name of professionalism, which is subjective, but unfortunately they are the ones running the league, not us. It could be way worse. Ajax Cape Town, the sister club to Ajax, was expelled from the South African premiership for violating dress code (three times). I belive in their situation it was that they werent wearing the normal uniform sponsor. That's something to get a little more peeved about than the Wizard issue, but still, it's probably overreacting a bit.
So when the Galaxy went with green shorts with their yellow tops last week (looked nice IMO) did they break the rules too?
it was not liked they were fined for wearing the white shorts with the blue top b/c the league didn't like the way it looked...they were fined b/c they wore something other than what the game notice said they were gonna wear. not sure who makes up the game notice but i am sure that KC has some say in what they wear, they just decided to not wear what they said 5 days earlier they were gonna wear...and for that they were fined. doesn't seem that hard to understand.
Perhaps it doesn't matter what they wear as long as they notify the league in advance. The league is probably tring to keep the visiting team from having to bring extra uniforms of differing colors. If KC had let the Rapids know they were wearing white in advance Colorado would have had plenty of time to adjust and get their black shorts ready to ship.
Im thinking that as long as we are looking to be a superstitious team, and as long as we are finally winning again, and as long as we have been wearing white shorts every time so far...i bet they decided at the last minute for good luck. whatever it takes for victory, i guess....
I'm sure that Josh Wolff can spare the extra coin to help the team, since he isn't with his play. Methinks we should play the rest of the season in the blue and whites, and if MLSHQ decides to levy a fine agian, JOsh can pick it up. I understand why we were fined, but by that same logic, shouldn't Metrostars have been fined, too? I mean, I'm sure that BenBen had to work his tail to get those weird third stipes. Seems a bit more inconvienent than just shorts color.
KC should wear them tomorrow also!!! No, apparently their staff is competent and filed the paperwork correctly and in good time. They may also have a GM that has read and understands the MLS procedures guide. Can't be to harsh on CJ, the fine may have come from his paycheck. Poor guy. I'd love to replace him in a heartbeat You can see him working. He may need a win or 3 to save his job and KC hasn't lost in blue-white-blue of any combo. To MLS: I'm not sure what is more embarassing, the fact that there needed to be a fine per regulations or that the sum total of the fine is an untidy and miniscule for pro sports $1250. What did they do, throw some darts and add it up? Like it makes any difference in a single entity concept. If the wrong jersey promised a win, I'm sure they could pass a collection plate through every row to get the $1250; churches do it every week and people gladly give. I'd pay an extra quarter for a guaranteed win. Wouldn't you?
