Philly Pu incident:

Rivaly before they even take the pitch? Sounds like a smelly situation. Check the Philli Union logo in the bottom right corner.

Thats one mean snake…

That’s classy, well done Photoshop. Props to whoever did it.

BMO Lost SSS Status??? :

While on the way home to a fantastic canoe trip to Algonquin Park, I picked up a newspaper, and saw the MLL’s (Major League….Lacrosse) Toronto franchise played a game at BMO Field in Toronto, Canada’s only Soccer Specific Stadium. Now, I ask you, If Soccer is the Primary sport being played at the venue, is it still Soccer Specific? FYI the ‘Two Point Lines’ of the lacrosse games are “Viewably Hidden” when watching the TFC games. So again, If Soccer is the Primary sport being played at the venue, is it still Soccer Spsfic? I just want to know everyones opion.

WNBA, Who cares? More people than WPS… :

Interesting off topic thing here, WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury was the first North American non-football (soccer) team to have a full sponsor (No cite) on the front of the jeresy. Perhaps the big Four will catch up to what MLS and the rest of the world learned years ago. What do you think about Ad’s? there definitely a lot smoother than these… “Patches” ,

Its kinds funny how WNBA beat WPS to the whole Ad thing, when WPS is worse off.

And finaly, Here’s a WPS Kit Review I found in the UniWatch Archives.

Thank you agian for this!!! Please comment!!!

BTW: Wasn’t the ‘Union” one of the names that the league pushed on Seattle??? Anywho, Its a fantastic name and fits Phili perfectly

REVIEW: Wow, this is, awesome. I couldn’t have wished for a better crest. The Crest-in-a-crest feel is more than good. A good mix of sharpness and traditionalism in this logo. The stars are a beautiful touch. The snake is the better part of this logo. Cause you know some nicknames will arise. The blue on blue was predictable (Sons of Ben). But the bronze/beige is there instead of yellow. The beige scares me. Just cross your fingers we don’t get a beige kit for these lads. When it comes to a kit, Ive came up with 4 possible solutions…

1: All Navy Home, Light Blue Away

2: Home Navy and Light Blue vertical stripes (Either reversed or white away)

3: Home White and Light Blue Vertical Stripes (All Navy away)

4: Navy Home, Beige away

Note: behind the “Union Snake” shield there are Blue/Beige Vertical stripes… Possible hint to a kit you might say???

Also, the team scarfs appeared…

Again, beige is a nice accent color, but not a good main one.  The Latin on the second one means “Invite A Pirate” (Thanks Mando!!!). Wish it was more towards a Union or “Don’t Tread on Us”. You cant really put anything regarding the Revolution for obvious reasons.

I’ll be back when the kits are reaslesed!!! Hopefuly.

Now, on to the Kits.

I’ve always had a passion when it comes to kits/jerseys/athletics wear. Here, I am going to summarize the new kits for this MLS Season.

Houston:

I really love this template that Adidas pumped out. But what’s the point of the lines coming across the front? The “Sun Rays” ruin this kit. I’m waiting for the Phoenix Suns to use this jersey!!! (I noticed Frei of Toronto FC had the same kit temp as a keeper, minus the lines??? Anyone notice???)

I was glad to see those messed up Tribal lines go. To be replaced with… more lines. But in all respect the Light Blue lines look nice. Which brings me around to this: Why the light blue? The only real sign of it, even on the website, was the outline of the logo. I wouldn’t mind that blue be black, or even white. But the blue is nice. The lack of the MLS Cup Champs patch is surely a weird sight.

MARK: 5 Possibly-Phoenix-Suns-Super-Tacky-Jerseys out of 10

Toronto:

MARK: 6 White-stripes-on-a-Gray-Backround out of 10

New York:

The main topic on this kit is the Zipper looking thing. Apparently it is a a small piece of rubber that says “Red Bull New York” Thanks Ric!!! Its decent collar to boot. I still like the color combos. Like to see the white at home. I’m pretty sure I’m the only one not wanting the red top, white bottoms from the first year of the New York Energy Drinks saga. The navy is also pretty nice.

MARK: 7 Cases-of-overdose-from-Energy-Drinks out of 10

Seattle:

Very short and sweet. Not a lot of bad things about this kit.

9 Stains-of-beer-on-Drew-Carey’s-Shirt out of 10

MINOR NOTES:

LEAGUE: The whole MLS will have their respective nations flag and the MLS logo on either side. It also cuts off the Adidias Triple Stripe.

SAN JOSE:

COLORADO:

COLUMBUS:

Adds MLS CUP patch to front. See it here.

Thank you everyone for letting me do this!!!

Marty.
