On first look, I thought "wow, none of the zany Puma graphics" and then I zoomed in and saw it was made from someone's nan's curtains from 1952 died yellow with gimp-ish (not Northern Gimp - necessarily - you do you) vinyl/latex badges.

Without the sponsor it looks like the monogrammed polo someone's boss would have worn to the country club in 1982 to get in a couple of sets of tennis. Honestly not sure if that's a good thing or not from a "would I wear this or not" perspective . . . but seems an odd choice for a jersey.

Southampton is straight-up Pepto-Bismol pink. It's got that weird creaminess to it.

This feels . . . unsustainable.

If you're on T-Mobile I believe you can get a year free.

St. Louis City played them right before the break for Leagues Cup and he was subbed on to start the second half. I had no idea he was still playing at all, and when I saw him yelled "Holy shit, I thought Yedlin retired years ago!" Our seats are 11 rows up and right behind where he had taken up his position. And, of course, it was one of those awkward silent moments right before the second half kicks off. Hopefully he took it for the genuine expression of surprise that it was . . . .

Fuckin' hell, that's sharp.
