Kit Nerd Corner : Philadelphia Union away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Philadelphia Union away In a nutshell : Why bother trying. Philadelphia have been on a slippery slope downward. Their first away kit was a decent reverse of the home kit. Their next kit was their home kit under brighter lights. Then this happened. It’s so ordinarily white.

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...
