Kit Nerd Corner : New York Red Bulls home

Kit Nerd Corner : Vancouver Whitecaps home
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Vancouver Whitecaps home In a nutshell : simple, modern without being garish If Vancouver is fighting to not have boring template kits from Adidas, then they are making the battle count. Starting with the obvious pattern, definitely a fan of the gradient ‘mountains’ that start from…

The gang is all back, predicting league outcomes, forwards outlook, retirement of a “legend” and another insane round of “Would You Rather” (we’re sorry and you’re welcome).

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…

Kit Nerd Corner : DC United away

Kit Nerd Corner : LA Galaxy Away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Los Angeles Galaxy away In a nutshell : It’s a stunner. Simple, subtle and a little different. As much I quietly miss the gold/teal Galaxy look from years gone by (but not the badge), the white/navy combo has been a step up in class. They have…

Episode 74 – 15/02/19 #2Limited
On the cusp of the real season (and the demise of the silly season), the gang discusses the loan out of a TFC legend, the lack of trialists and some stupid, unimportant “who cares”-worthy topics that aren’t even worth talking about… even though they did. In this episode Duncan’s patriotic displays are equivalent to a…
