THE STARTING 11: Reasons Why We Appreciated the Kansas City Wizards
A long time ago in a world of Clashes, Burns and even the odd Fusion, existed a soccer team named the Kansas City Wizards. Even better than that, they were originally just the Kansas City Wiz! Wheeeee marketing boffins! This fabled team with their rainbow kits, surly Serbs and cheeky Scots toured the U.S.A. in a league known as MLS 1.0 – good times. Of course, time passes, teams and leagues mature, and the one-time Wiz are now...
South Traffic Report : Toronto v Kansas City
Yeah it’s late. You see, somebody was trying to actually get to the game on time. They left early, gave themselves, what they thought was, plenty of time to get down to the stadium. Who knew that one set of road closures would have screwed up everything. At 3:00 I had exited the Gardiner and was on Park Lawn. By 4:30 I was on the Queensway at Windemere, a whopping 2.3km in 90 minutes. With another 4.3 km to go, at this rate,...
Toronto FC Kit And Sponsor Is (Finally) Official
It’s officially here – the new, less maple leaf strewn, still BMO sponsored Toronto FC kit is available for viewing (and of course purchasing).

The kit itself is – to my eyes anyway – a pretty solid one as far as kits in general...
Kit Nerd Corner : TFC Home (leaked!)
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Toronto FC Home In a nutshell : vanilla, not gaudy, but may be limited-time special If there is one time-honoured tradition with the internet, it is the perpetual gift that is “the leak” and today the gift arrived early. I admire MLS feeding my desire for new kits and designs by trying to make a big deal out of this nerdy-niche thing, but it should only be a big deal if...
Kit Nerd Corner : NYCFC home & away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. New York City FC home In a nutshell : boring, not terrible. The kit feels like it falls out of a catalogue with noticeable exceptions on the sleeves where the colour coded MLS badges will be affixed. That may be standard but they seek to be new. For all of the iconography NYCFC have at their disposal, it’s a shame the didn’t co-op any of it. It may be cliché, but you just...
