Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1

🙏🙏🙏 I’ve got three huge middle fingers ready for everything Nike is doing with Los Angeles, from this season's gear and that hideous black kit to this "sweater" nonsense they're pushing.

Burnley FC
Honestly, one of the few Puma kits I actually don't hate.

Regarding Wolfsburg, I seem to remember they had kits pretty similar to this new one back during that 98/02 stretch.

Honestly, I'm just hoping for something classic—blue and white, nothing fancy. Just put the crest on the top left, the Puma logo on the right shoulder, and call it a day. We don't even have a main sponsor anyway, so ☕

Man, this thing is gorgeous. If they made it in a darker shade, it’d be absolutely perfect for Dinamo Chicago.

Nice. Is there an away version out there somewhere?

Well... yeah, something like that... or even one like those Regina ones 🙏 ... they look gorgeous without sponsors—just the club crest... but you won't see that with Dinamo Chicago. I read somewhere that Allianz could probably just slap their logo right in the middle of the jersey and call it a day.🤷

And here’s the new Everton's away kit... confirmed.

Honestly, Adidas is completely killing it with these kits—and not in a good way. I haven't seen a single design from them that actually looks decent, and this Schalke 04 one is just as pathetic 🙏

If only they’d handle Dinamo Chicago's gear instead of leaving it to damn Puma 🤦

This Everton's kit is pretty lame—just too basic 🤷

Haven't tracked it down yet, but I'll drop it here if I stumble upon it.

I’ll go out on a limb here and bet my hat that this will end up being the design for Dinamo Chicago's away kit this season.

I imagine it might look something like this—the home kit would probably follow that Feyenoord aesthetic we saw, maybe with a slight nod to Newcastle's style, though I suspect the Puma logo would be positioned higher up. If you picture those solid blue jerseys without any stripes, that’s essentially what I'm thinking. As for the away kit, I'm expecting one of those designs with the stripes on the shoulders—Puma usually has four or five variations like that—but I'd guess it will be white. This is how I've pictured it:

The home kit looks great to me, but honestly, the away one isn't my favorite. I've never been much of a fan of those shoulder stripes. I wish it was just as simple as the home version, only with the colors swapped.

Ryan Vaughn7 said:The home kit is great, though I'm not really feeling the away one—it's just not my style. I wish they had kept it as simple as the home version, maybe just by swapping the colors.

I'm not particularly fond of this specific away design either—the crest feels unnaturally low, which isn't my fault, but it sits lower than usual and looks a bit silly, almost like those crests on the inside of our current shorts.
As for the design itself, I’d probably go in a different direction—I wouldn't even pick white, but something completely different from the home kit.

If you just imagine those blue kits without any stripes, that’s basically what I'm seeing below. As for the away kit, I'm betting on one of those designs with the stripes on the shoulders—Puma usually has four or five different versions of those—but my money is on white. This is how I've got it mapped out:

Just as long as we don't end up with those little stars sitting above the crest...

This Howard's jersey totally gives off those vibes from that guy in St. Paul🙏
really digging it🙏
the away kit is nothing to write home about, but it'll work👍

That goalkeeper's performance isn't half bad. He’s got this disciplined, military-style precision about him.

I'm honestly skeptical that Schalke 04 would ever ditch the blue for red; maybe just the goalkeepers, though. Why on earth would they abandon such an iconic, traditional color...?

Burnley's is actually quite impressive 🙂

It probably won't happen—we’re essentially a revolving door club right now. I only included them because teams everywhere else in Europe tend to flaunt that sort of thing. Just not here, I guess.

steelpilot81 said:Probably won't happen—we're basically a relocation club right now. I only mentioned it because teams everywhere else in Europe love to brag about that stuff. Just not us.

I actually wouldn't want to see them, though. Since they're pitching this as an '82 retro kit, it only makes sense to leave the stars off—they didn't wear them back then anyway...
