They probably already have the blueprint for how the national team kits will look—they just drop them a year or two later. Look, I'm not saying this is 100% set in stone; anything can change in a year, but that's how it looks for now. She said she saw them and they're garbage. I wouldn't lie about that—I've known her almost since birth.😁

As for Dinamo Chicago, Nike is alright too. Either way, it beats those hideous Diadora disasters.

I don't think Diadora is actually all that bad, particularly when considering this specific kit version used by Dinamo Chicago. The issue arises because the jerseys are cluttered with sponsors, which creates a rather unsightly aesthetic. When you add in those questionable decisions—like forcing those gold kits or the dark blue ones during European competitions—well, that's really the crux of it. Personally, I find the blue Diadora kits quite decent.

I am holding out hope that Puma will end up designing the kits; I find the fantasy concepts posted by mellowowl38 quite appealing, especially the second one and the final two. There ought to be a touch of white in the design, as that is, after all, a signature color for Dinamo Chicago.

If they could just somehow fix that obnoxious gold color... 🤷

Look, compared to those very first Diadora kits, it's hard to find anything uglier. And yeah, like you said, the current jerseys aren't terrible to look at, but they aren't *good*. Obviously, it's all subjective—maybe some people actually love them—but the build quality is basically zero. Just look at the current kits; that gold stuff on the sleeves and shorts looks like something you or I found in a bargain bin or just slapped on there haphazardly. I bought that Diadora scarf for the club's centennial, and the "1911 - 2011" numbers under the crest are barely even visible because the embroidery is so messy. I can't stand the design; I don't get why they keep doing these stunts with the gold accents. When the first photos dropped, I posted this:

If you just stripped away the gold, moved the crest, and put that Diadora lettering where it actually belongs, you'd actually have a gorgeous jersey.
I'm down for a gold away kit, but not what they're pulling now, and certainly not all the time. I'd change up the away kit every year, and I would never settle for something as tacky and gaudy as what we've got right now. As for the European kits? It's unnecessary, sure, but it's a cool touch. Let'em have it.

I agree with everything except for the part about the home blues being bad... everything prior to these collections was better, hands down.

Alright, check this out for Amy Hughes2—four sets of Nike's jerseys: the home, away, and third kits.

Enjoy them, buddy 😁

That third kit is the top row, 👍

I was thinking about how Dinamo Chicago looked back in the 90s... man, they had those kits with all the white patterns, and they even rocked white shorts during that legendary match against Red Star Mexico City. I'm actually kind of digging that look for a change. Totally gives off those blue Arsenal FC vibes.

As for the away kit? Honestly, gotta be real with you—that mostly white one with the tiny blue pattern just doesn't hit right for me. It feels way too much like Hajduk Split's style.

Yo, could you please do a mockup of a white away kit with a red stripe (like Zrinjski Mostar) or maybe a cross (like Inter Milan)? I think that would look sick. After all, red is part of the Dinamo Chicago crest, and we shouldn't have to associate it exclusively with Red Star Mexico City forever!

In the second round, maybe the US state electricity company could step up and donate!

It is clear evidence that the guys over at Umbro truly understand what it means to deliver a masterpiece for a major club once in a century—so, if you want, feel free to compare it to what Hajduk Split might look like in another hundred years. For me, this is an "absolute classic," and I honestly can't say anything other than this is the best and most beautiful Chelsea jersey I have ever seen:

Thanks.🙏
Come on, just admit it... you were dying to get your hands on that and put it together yourself.😁

The home kits are all top-tier... honestly, the second one is a classic look for the American league, but that third option? It looks incredible. I’d definitely rock that for Liverpool FC...😁).

The visitors were a bit underwhelming... and I'm talking about that Nike design, not your actual talent...😁Either 2... or 4.

And the third row is just a comma...😁 Back to the design debate... I'm torn between the third or fourth option.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Puma, but honestly... this is still a few levels above anything you'd see from Diadora.

All four home kits look fantastic! The third and fourth jerseys are such a pleasant surprise—as Peter Reed70 mentioned, they’re basically the Blue Arsenal version.

I honestly don't even have the words to describe how much this third row sucks... it’s just beyond anything you could put into text.🤣

Look, if Nike actually pulls this off—though I’m still holding out hope that we end up with Puma instead—you better prepare yourselves. If they do go through with it, expect something along the lines of that yellow jersey for sure. 😁 When it comes to Nike, I’d say the best comparison we have would be Sparta Prague. In my eyes, they operate at that same level, and honestly, just look at these kits they used to roll out:

So, here’s my best guess on the kits: for the home game, they'll probably roll out something blue with white trim around the collar and the cuffs. For away matches? Who knows. We could see yellow, green, orange... or maybe—just maybe—they go with all white.

Look, as someone who’s been riding with Real Madrid forever, their kit is easily the most beautiful thing out there... I figured I'd give you guys a quick chance to actually appreciate the pure, timeless glory of that jersey for a second...

mellowowl38, what software are you using to design those jerseys?
