Kit Nerd Corner : Houston Dynamo home

Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Houston Dynamo home   In a nutshell : Finally, a Houston kit with some real character Really digging the gradient of orange down to the white at the bottom and the diamond/fence pattern pinstripe print of the shirt.  Very happy to see them drop the awkward “Space City Blue” that they use in their badge.  It’s terrible. Here’s a team that could do a better job of using...

Previous away form has been consistent with the dark greyish-blue...
