AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'm not sure what I think about integrating the sponsor into the kit as totally as some of the MLS teams do. In a lot of ways it looks much better and makes a better overall design, but then again you end up looking like Wonga FC or whatever. Guess MLS teams have no identity anyway so it's not such an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Every team in MLS sponsored by Adidas? Bizarre. American sports leagues traditionally contract with a single company to design the uniforms for all the teams. Nike does all the NFL uniforms, for example.

Kanji Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Adidas signed a kit deal with the league. Just like all major American Sports. NFL with Nike. NBA with Adidas. NHL with Reebok (and soon to be Adidas I believe). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't the teams going sponsorless because no-one will give them a decent sponsorship deal? Doesn't look like a positive to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Ah OK. In fairness the kits aren't all just carbon copies of each other like they tend to be over here. Wish we had Adidas again, even the 10 year old gear I've got is in better knick than the newer puma stuff. Abysmal quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Adidas, and I'm glad that they have the MLS/NBA here - I have a beautiful Cavs tracksuit top. My main gripe is that my team's the Crew, and there's not a lot you can so with a bright yellow kit and Adidas stripes. I still think they've missed a trick by having Columbus Crew be some Village People, rather than a pirate crew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Aren't the teams going sponsorless because no-one will give them a decent sponsorship deal? Doesn't look like a positive to me. IIRC Colorado has traditionally rejected shirt sponsors and Houston recently started doing the same. I have a hard time believing San Jose couldn't find a sponsor in the Bay Area. Chivas is almost certainly a case of not being able to find one, this is a lost season for them. Or maybe it's because they're league-owned and operated now and can't have sponsors or something.

Hopefully more teams follow suit in the future. So what do we learn from this. Adidas can serve up lots of different styles with lots of different individual twists for specific clubs when they want but yet most kits in the UK are the same stock version in different colours. Clubs (and by default the fans over here) are being mugged off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should've done a modern copy of this one: http://www.subsidesports.com/uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/large_image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/xlarge/USAASS9496a-G8.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Hate the Brazil first kit by the way. Can't believe that NIKE decided something like that for the World Cup hosts. Should've done a copy of the blue kit above in yellow and it would've been one of the better kits around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually the light blue thing was an Adidas nonsense, France blue is pretty dark on our flag, it originally came from the "City of Paris" colours during the revolution (blue and red) surrounding the Royalty (white).

Flip Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 You've never in the history of football have had a shirt with this darkness of blue. As for the flag I don't know which blue is the official one as I've seen your flags with all kinds of different tones of blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
