Kit Nerd Corner : New York Red Bulls home
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. New York Red Bulls home In a nutshell : Reverse Arsenal with animals. This is the most contrasting kit of the bunch. On the one hand, I’m kind of upset how Red Bull circumvent the advertising rules by owning the team. On the other hand, it is a marketing masterstroke. Use corporate symbolism as the badge, use badge elements EVERYWHERE. It’s a vicious cycle. All of the usual elements that...
Eastern Conference Preview, predictions.
My Western Conference preview can be found here if you’re into all that hipster tree hugging and sunshine stuff. Now time to turn our attention to the East.

Episode 58 – 14/10/07 #StarboardBow
Everyone is back and accounted for, somehow, and the gang regretfully reviews the LA Galaxy game as well as look ahead to critical matches with Houston and New York Red Bulls. In this episode, Kristin gets a song, Mark makes a Latvian legend’s name longer than necessary, and Tony and Duncan mind-meld to bring to you one of the most catchy/annoying novelty tracks to ever come out of 1987’s England.
