Jozy Altidore – Flat track bully?
2 goals from the debutant star striker and 3 points in the bag. The obvious comparisons to last year are obvious (and for anyone looking for a lazy ‘yeah, but’ can continue all year really, 9 points from the first 4 games, yeah 2014!, 19 points from 11? 2014, 3rd place and comfortably in a…

Kit Nerd Corner : Colorado Rapids away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Colorado Rapids away In a nutshell : This has got some crazy game and it’s smooth like butter First off, I am not on medication. At all. This is a wonderful kit. You can do primary colours, as long as you pick shades that work together,…

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…

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…

Kit Nerd Corner : Vancouver Whitecaps home
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to.
