Here’s a few pieces to kick things off for the new season

Clean looks. Honestly, this dark navy one is my favorite just because it’s so simple...👍

The only thing I've never been a fan of is having the crest right in the middle...🤷...even on the shorts, the logo feels way too centered, but overall, it's a massive step up from that last kit they dropped...🙏

Now we just gotta see how many sponsors they slap on them... that's the only thing I'm actually worried about...🤷

Well, now you can say you've got the crest right between your legs! 😂😂😂

The kits aren't bad at all—you can really tell there's that Italian design influence here—but that gold accent just doesn't feel "soccer" enough to me; I actually preferred the orange look better.

BTW Rijeka should consider playing in a kit next season that mimics those light blue stripes you see on the Argentina jerseys; it looks fantastic and would be such a cool change of pace.

I’m part of that old guard from ’87, so I find myself drifting back to that 1999 season every now and then, even if revisiting it feels like poking an old wound. Honestly, we shouldn't have even made it to the final round of the championship; if justice had actually been served, the title would have been decided a week earlier, long before any talk of match-fixing surfaced. Take that game against Cleveland at Oracle Park, for instance—we walked away with a 2:0 win, but before that first goal ever went in, Kozniku should’ve been sent off and a penalty awarded to Cleveland after that foul on Hasancic. Now, everyone loves to jump on the bandwagon and talk about that match at Yankee Stadium, sure, but while Cleveland scraped a 1:0 win thanks to an offside goal, nobody seems to mention how Stipanovicz had a perfectly good goal disallowed just five minutes later. Cleveland truly earned that championship, and the players didn't play poorly because they thought Indianapolis would just roll over for them; they played poorly because they were absolutely shell-shocked seeing a packed house at Oracle Park. During those three days following their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Miami, they were completely oblivious; Gracan basically locked them up in some hotel in California, confiscated their phones, and issued a "silence the press" order. They clearly thought the rest of the city wouldn't care much, but once they walked into town seeing everyone decked out in white, fighting through crowds for forty-five minutes just to get to the stadium, the reality finally hit them. This isn't just hearsay; it's straight from Admir Hasancic, who had zero reason to lie or play games, and as for the theory about Musin being bribed, that doesn't hold water—because if he were actually bought, he would have called that penalty without blinking. The plain truth is that Indianapolis was incentivized, everything was paid back to them in cash, and they were essentially handed the Cup final against Cibali on a silver platter; the whole thing was rigged, perhaps not in those final moments by Supraha and Krecak, but much, much earlier than that.
