Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1

lonepilot2 said:Everton's kit was intentionally designed to look "retro." It's a tribute to their 1985 jersey, the one they wore when they clinched the FA Cup.

I actually took it upon myself to hunt down an image of that original '85 jersey. If they had simply replicated that specific design, we might actually have something worth wearing instead of this absolute joke. 🤣 That is my only observation. We're looking at a white V-neck that reaches the navel and some truly questionable multi-panel stitching... 🤣
And wouldn't you know it, the manufacturer is identical as well.



TOTAL FAIL. ☕

lonepilot2 said:That’s the whole setup—totally old school. At halftime, the coach blasts Duran Duran in the locker room, then everyone heads straight to a cocktail party in navy blue suits with the sleeves rolled up.

Duran Duran? please. this is a freaking motivational masterpiece;

mellowowl38 said:Yeah, honestly, that classic look—the kind Dynamo used to rock—was top tier. As for West Ham, I’m actually pretty stoked they switched back to Umbro. The jersey itself looks solid; it's just the way they slapped the sponsor on the front that completely kills the vibe. It looks messy. But hey, that's just the Premier League for you—chase the cash first, aesthetics second.

I have only just laid eyes on this. 😁

It stands in stark contrast to the other leagues, where players still head out for a few beers and some genuine camaraderie after the final whistle. ☕

I honestly think LA Galaxy is going to completely blow it next season because they're too distracted by those flashy gold jerseys, I'm telling you 🤣

Oh, please. It’s just way more obvious with them. They’ve basically turned into the USA—honestly, I’m just waiting for them to pause a corner kick mid-play so a commercial can run during the broadcast.

mellowowl38 said:Basically, all three kits are getting a makeover. The home and European sets are sticking to those current shades of blue, just with a cleaner, more streamlined design—and yeah, they're bringing back that gold trim on the crest. As for the away kit? That one's going to be gold.

Anyone got a link?

I am not so sure about that; personally, I don't see it being any more pronounced there than in any other major league. 🤷

For heaven's sake, aren't we miles ahead of them (in the States, isn't that where it happens? 😬) when we lose several seconds of game time just because of an advertisement? 😁

Does anyone actually know if there's a club out there that uses Lacoste shirts for their kits?🤷

I am well aware. ☕

It appears that Arsenal will be unveiling their third kit on July 23rd. From what I gather, the design is expected to be white. One can only wonder if this choice will actually stir any excitement, or if it is merely another predictable iteration in an increasingly repetitive cycle of kit releases.

No, but seriously though, I'm asking for real.☕

I mean, I know Rome used to have them back in the early seventies. I actually tried looking for one online, but man... those things are insanely overpriced...☕

I am quite serious. ☕

There isn't any. ☕

Visiting Los Angeles and some notes from the home game

And that’s exactly where the massive divide lies. Over here, we’re constantly getting jerked away from the action by random commercials, losing those crucial few seconds of the game just because some advertiser paid for airtime. But over there? They actually hold the broadcast during commercial breaks to make sure nobody sitting on their couch accidentally misses a single play. You see this most clearly in Major League Baseball—if you ever bother to tune into ESPN, you'll notice they never let you miss a heartbeat; they just run dedicated commercial blocks instead. 😉

Anyway, totally unrelated to the article, does anyone know if the new crest on the Bijelo d Med jersey is actually the new Los Angeles logo, or is it some old one from before the version everyone recognizes? Because honestly, I think the old one looks ten times better. 😁

I swear there wasn't any gold foil over the M before, and the edges used to be blue 🤷

Is this what you meant?

I was actually talking about these two crests: I know the one on the left used to have different color variations, but is the one on the right something fresh they cooked up for next season, or is it an older version from before the left one?

Given we already know what color those Yankees "silver jerseys" were (basically the same shade of gray they used to paint radiators and locker room cabinets in old factories), I'm honestly terrified of what these "gold" ones are gonna look like.☕

I haven't seen that right one before, so I guess it's probably something new.🤷
