Kit Nerd Corner : Sporting Kansas City home
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Sporting Kansas City home In a nutshell : it’s close, but in the end it lacks subtlety When I first laid eyes on this kit in an earlier leaked image, I really began to hate Sporting KC for more than just football. First they get that…

MLS Wins and Losses: Week 1
Can’t be bothered to read all this, with all it’s words and links and stuff? Not to worry, this was written to be part of the podcast so you can listen to it instead, with the added benefit of 3 others interrupting, digressing and taking it in all sorts of weird directions! With roughly an…

Kit Nerd Corner : Columbus Crew home and away
Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Columbus Crew home and away Columbus could have had it so much easier than this. As a bias towards football’s black and yellow, I’ve oft been disappointed with the offerings the pseudo-rivals have offered. There was that ‘stripey sports bra’ look, which was approved by…

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.

THE STARTING 11: Surprising Clauses In The New MLS CBA

Lots of talk about its impact; a long-drawn out process filled with frustration; no strikes to be seen. Yes, Major League Soccer and its Players Union managed to save the season by agreeing to a new deal…

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?
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,…
