Oh my goodness... I just noticed they actually have the American flag stitched right onto their sleeves 🤦

If only Miroslav "Ćiro" Kožić had kicked him out back in '86... 😁

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 😁

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

mellowowl38 said:Look, I’m definitely not going to be getting all deep and academic with these. It’s not like I’m out here grinding for some PhD or anything—I’m just doing this because I’m genuinely curious about the whole thing. And honestly? Once I actually sit down and put them together, they won't be identical. Some of them probably won't even look that much alike. Just don't expect a masterpiece. 🤣But hey, that’s just my two cents—purely speculative, obviously.
Anyway, you can jump in and help out here, just like everyone else:

So, these are the away kits, right? 😁

Are these actually the away kits or what? To me, they look more like some kind of beige-white shade rather than a lighter tint of blue. I noticed on Mantler (top row, far right) that they have this white trim around the collar, so if anyone actually knows the deal, let me know.

1945.So, let's talk about that match between Fiume and Los Angeles FC. Honestly, what an absolute rollercoaster. You expect a certain level of intensity when these two clash, but this one? It was something else entirely. Just one of those games that leaves you staring at the screen wondering if you actually watched what you think you watched.

So, we’re the light blue crew, right? If that's actually the case, then what exactly is up with this crest? Is this the one?



Maybe we could even try some "never-before-seen" combo... you know, like those little blue lowercase 'd's on a crisp white background? Just an idea.

I'm guessing you're the ones with the five-pointed star ☕

By the way, there was never any such thing as "Fiume"... as far as I can tell, Los Angeles FC was hosted by some sort of representative squad from the city of Rijeka, or maybe people were thinking of that US Fiuman team that had just dissolved... but even then, that wouldn't be quite right.

let's keep this moving...

A few more snapshots from the local news feed here in the States:

It feels like just another generic garage band playing local dive bars—and hey, they might be good at it, but they should probably just stick to that instead of trying to grab headlines... if they had actually come up with something fresh, maybe, but no... it’s just more of the same, going nowhere fast. It reminds me of those politicians who suddenly show up at a big football game right before an election cycle starts

Well, I suppose there's no harm in having a little extra noise in the world... though I didn't exactly rush out the door to see who these guys were

I mean, honestly, let people sing as much as they want, goodness knows... they could have tried being a bit more original, but whatever happens, happens...

I don't see what the issue is, really... I just don't see it... 🤷

I finally sat down to watch this movie the other night and I have to say, I was absolutely floored by it. There’s just something about Sean Bean in those roles where he’s decked out in armor with a sword that just works perfectly for him... and that dark, heavy atmosphere? They really nailed it, pulling me right into that era completely. It does such a brilliant job of illustrating the sheer, overwhelming power religion held back then—how it was actually wielded and applied through all those hallmarks of superstition... you know, basically fanaticism in its purest, most raw form...

SPOILER
during one particularly intense opening scene involving the burning of a supposed "witch," I actually burst out laughing after a close-up of one peasant who was just screaming buuuurrrn herrrr at the top of his lungs, mostly because my mind immediately jumped straight to that identical scene from Monty Python (Holy Grail) 😁

what a complete circus

Man, you really need to wipe the dust off your monitor... 🤣 I mean... no way... 🤣

gentlefox52 said:haha, no way—it wasn't me, I'm more likely the one actually looking to buy it😉

🤣

God, it’s just too much... word is getting around, and everyone's talking about it... 🤣🤣🤣

The Red Sox? Where were they back in the mid-90s when the team was grinding through the struggle to finally break into the big leagues, back when the energy was all driven by The Joker and supported by those guys from The Rockettes and the rest of the local fans... I don't recall seeing a single banner for the Red Sox during that whole run through the minor leagues, even though I was at pretty much every game... there just wasn't any mention of that name. It’s only now that we’ve made it to the top tier that suddenly here they are... just some guys from the East Side showing up out of nowhere because they want to stir things up a bit... you know, acting like it's the major leagues and we need to show the rest of America that we're the only real team in town... give me a break... honestly, I think the only group that actually takes you seriously is The Black Knights, and we all know exactly why that is 🙂

It’s an older piece of graffiti, but I finally managed to snap a photo of it today...

thanks... I honestly can't wait for this thing to really blow up and start making some serious noise... man, this track feels like it was practically built for a massive stadium crowd, and you've gotta hand it to whoever came up with 🙏🙏🙏
