    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 : Philadelphia Union away

    Disclaimer : I care and because I want to. Philadelphia Union away In a nutshell : Why bother trying.
