Kit Nerd Corner : New England Revolution away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. New England Revolution away In a nutshell : Christmas has come really early It’s bland. Very very bland and ordinary. If you have ever been a kit nerd like myself, you’d expect to see a similar shirt style in non-league England or the Bulgarian league, but…

Greg Vanney – Master tactician?
Before the Vancouver game, there were 4 things I was mainly going to be looking at as harbingers of good or bad things to come, Jozy Altidore, Michael Bradley, Greg Vanney’s tactics and the Caldwell/Perquis partnership. It was a mixed bag for sure, but I’d say the good outweighed the bad. As with anything, it’s…

THE STARTING 11: Surprising Clauses In The New MLS CBA
When it was all said and done, the new collective bargaining agreement negotiation was a lot like Mista. Lots of talk about its impact; a long-drawn out process filled with frustration; no strikes to be seen.

Kit Nerd Corner : Real Salt Lake away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Real Salt Lake away In a nutshell : fits the colour scheme, nothing remarkable This has to be a marketing manouvre as it seems like over half the league has a white kit, with eight of them (new ones anyways) being away kits. Throw another one…

Jozy Altidore – Flat track bully?

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 : 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…

Kit Nerd Corner : Montreal Impact away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Montreal Impact away In a nutshell : a little jealous Well, Montreal is two for two in the “envious of their kits” department. Their blue and black striped kit is still a beauty, and this is quality for an away kit. As you may or may…
