Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1

mellowowl38 said:There’s no way it’ll look like that again. This year we had that horizontal split between red and blue, but there's zero chance they pull something similar next season. Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised if they don't bother changing the away kit at all.

Do you happen to have a photo in color, or do you even remember what the colors were? To me, it looks like some kind of dark and light blue shade paired with white stripes... I honestly can't place this jersey at all. 🤷 😁

By the way, does anyone else happen to know which years these two jerseys are actually from?





Oh yeah, I was just thinking about the kit suppliers back in the nineties... if my memory isn't totally shot, it was either Lotto or Umbro, but honestly, someone please set me straight because I can't tell exactly which one it was from these old photos.

Man, back when Cupan could pull off two UEFA Cup matches in a row 🤣. That’s the exact same kit as the one worn during the 88/89 season. That picture above labeled 90/91? Those are actually from the year before the 89/90 games played in Banja Luka. In 90/91, they wore the blues with white sleeves—I think that’s what they wore in Bergamo.

Edit: Bergamo was white with blue sleeves. Away kit. Home kit had some kind of collar, I think. You can find a photo from the spring of '90 online.

That second one doesn't look like an official jersey to me. Looks like some DIY home project. I've never seen a crest like that on an actual official kit.

Just figured I'd toss my two cents in.

Super 😁

Just a little off-topic here, but I just dug up some kit designs I was messing around with a few months back—just some imaginary concepts for our league. Basically, I swapped out some of those hideous crests and played around with the color palettes...



So, here’s the breakdown: Budweiser gets their classic light blue home kit, but for the away set, I went with a black tribute to the ultras 😁. For Los Angeles FC, I used what I already had, but for the soldiers, I slapped a massive American flag pattern on the away kit so they actually have something interesting to wear instead of that boring plain white. For the New York Yankees, I gave them bronze away kits just to shake things up, similar to how I did silver/grey for Inter Miami CF. California’s away kit features a pattern inspired by the City of Pula seal. For Fort Worth, I replaced that crest (which, honestly, is easily the ugliest in all of Major League Soccer) with a brand new one, plus an away kit that finally breaks up the monotony. Since Los Angeles Locomotive basically has zero fans, I toyed with a lilac colorway just to make them look different. For Indianapolis, I went with red away kits to kill off that repetitive white/blue combo they always use. Seattle stayed pretty close to the standard, while Steven got a home kit swap from blue to red/blue since those are the actual colors of their city and county—thank God we don't have enough blue clubs already. For Savannah, for those same reasons, I switched the home kit to orange because it’s the city's color and apparently the color of every sports team there except for the NBA. For Miami, I ditched that ugly crest and used one that was proposed a few years ago—at least, if I remember correctly—and gave them a blue away kit (pairing it with white shorts and red socks, since they're such liberals; might as well give them a nod to the old national team 🤣). Columbus is more or less standard since they were the first ones to start experimenting with away kits, occasionally throwing in red or orange. For San Diego, I tweaked the home kit slightly so they don't blend in with all the other blue teams, and changed the crest because I've never liked their official one; the away kit is patterned after the city flag. And last but certainly not least—Washington, D.C.—classic home kit, but the away kit is black with red accents, perfect for that whole anarchy vibe and the spikes those teenagers in the stands love... the older crowd doesn't care anyway 😁

Way to go, mellowowl38! 🙏 🙏 🙏 The colors look pretty impressive. I’m a fan of the Seattle jersey, and the sponsor looks fine too. 😁 Now let's see how they handle Major League Soccer... 🤣

Man, you really killed the vibe with that city seal you posted...🙏

ExxonMobil 🙏😢

Light, seriously, props to you... I can tell you were aiming for that big European club aesthetic. Like, when you did the away kit for Real Madrid, it looked just like FC Barcelona, and then the soldier's away gear gave off total Sabella vibes. Honestly, major respect for all the work you put in here. 😁

🙏 killing me

LA Galaxy is actually great—it's just that UNICEF deal that doesn't sit right with me 🤷

Inter Miami CF 🙏 and 🤣 for the sponsor

Seattle Sounders FC are freaking 🙏 awesome

Columbus Crew and Amtrak 🤣 🙏 ... I'll be heading down to the USL Championship once the MTA becomes a sponsor

you totally blew the opening match against the visiting side from the local club 🤣

Nah, I didn't. The sleeve is white, it's just impossible to see in this lighting😁

mellowowl38🙏 nailed it🙏 honestly, a little more flavor like this would be great for the MLS😁

🙏🙏

Honestly, I feel like we have an absolute surplus of clubs sporting blue kits lately. It’s everywhere.

The only ones I ever had an issue with were the kits from Indianapolis—those thin blue horizontal stripes were just a bit much for my taste—but in my opinion, this latest design from Indianapolis is actually quite solid.

sorry Leo, I just had to share this disaster with everyone

The designer isn't listed, but honestly, it looks like something some random guy in a basement would cook up. Just kidding.




Look, I know I spend most of my time just messing with people, but I couldn't let this absolute eyesore sit there without posting it here.

Honestly, what an absolute disaster. I guess I can stomach Chelsea's first one—it wasn't total garbage—but Pool 🤣 🙏.

Liverpool FC away game 1988-89. Just keeping things straightforward. ☕

Away game 1992-93 against Stoke City. Pure ecstasy style. 😁

Wimbledon 1983. 👋

I’m with you, the current ones are great; if anything, I’d just swap out the away kit. I went with the stripes because I really dig that Le Coq-related design, plus they need at least some blue on the home kit.

As for the whole blue and white combo, it’s starting to get on my nerves—it feels like people just have zero style. Look, I get it, most teams don't want to mess with their classic home look—thank God, I wouldn't touch the Washington, D.C. home kit either—but come on, show a little creativity. Or even just a different color! San Diego is the perfect example here. They're just one more team in a long line of identical blue kits, when they could easily be the most unique squad in the league by rocking orange. I bet even the die-hard fans would get behind it. We all remember those games back in the day at their old stadium where San Diego wore blue and the visiting team wore orange, but the entire blue section of the stands was cheering for the orange team, and the orange section was rooting for the blue.🤣

Man, seeing this pic makes me want to grab something similar for my place... tell me, is that real hardwood or just laminate? 🙄

honestly, this one isn't even bad—if only they could find a decent, normal sponsor for once

San Francisco 🙏 🙏 🙏 feels like watching Schalke 04, except maybe slightly improved, if you can call it that

Both Cibalia and Columbus, plus Zadar at home and Istra on the road 🙏 🙏 🙏
