Kit Nerd Corner : Seattle home & away

Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Seattle home In a nutshell : boring and uninspiring Oh Seattle, you don’t deserve this snoozefest.  You’ve been given some really nice home kits over the years, but this one doesn’t do anyone any favours.  Perhaps this is a test to see if the “Best Fans In The League”TM are gullible enough to buy anything. Sure, the blue still looks awesome with the green but...

Kit Nerd Corner : FC Dallas away

Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. FC Dallas away In a nutshell : hopefully a sign of a return of the hoops MLS baffles me. The redo the terrible Burn into FC Dallas.  A wonderful rebrand top to bottom, and even include a nod to the past in the badge.  Give them a unique kit, red and white hoops (a.k.a. horizontal stripes) and then spend the next 4 seasons referring to them as “the hoops”. Now I’m not sure what prompted the...

Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Portland Timbers home   In a nutshell : big chevron, big advertisement, big eyesore I get it, you have the chevrons in your badge.  And it points up. So why in the bluest (or greenest) of hells would that be necessary to make it a blatant design feature?  You have a predominant forest green kit with this big white & lemon space so let’s fill it with a sponsor.  I’ve looked at kit...

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.  The navy trim is so dark it looks black, and it looks super boring on there with the old gold stripes.  This...
