SEMTEX Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 They do every MLS kit. The contract to do kits is league wide. It's the same with all the big US professional sports. Is the money distributed evenly between the MLS teams like it is in the NFL? Unsure. MLS is different to most leagues as the MLS owns all the clubs in the MLS, and can sell anyone if a bid from outside the MLS comes in. There's all manner of dodgy shit about how wages are negotiated too. Too complicated for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 At least they change it up a bit now, it used to be that almost all the teams had exactly the same template. Some of these new ones are great. Its almost as if they are trying to make up for the lack of talent just by looking good. Not a bad plan I suppose In all seriousness though the league does seem like it's making baby steps in the right direction, and not just with kits.

Disco Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 MLS has the best looking kits, not sure why Adidas dont use those templates over here. Aye, it's weird how Adidas vary it up massively for the MLS yet over here it's template after template. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 MLS has the best looking kits, not sure why Adidas dont use those templates over here. Aye, it's weird how Adidas vary it up massively for the MLS yet over here it's template after template. We generally always had a non template Adidas kit so do Chelsea now, something to do with those teams like Sunderland & Stoke not actually being 'official partners' with Adidas and just getting the generic templates like Swindon do.

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Also, the rule seems to be: America: Football isn't incredibly popular, so lets make some amazing kits to get them interested. Europe: Fuck them, they'll buy anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Anything is better than the current badge. Could slap a red, white, and blue face and it'd be better than the current one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yup, anything is better than the last one. If it can trick us into playing like Madrid then I'm all for it. What's wrong with just using the actual flag though? We have one of the better looking flags out there. Doesn't really matter in the end I suppose.
