Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1

Stole this from my buddy on another thread—these jerseys are actually insane. If they just moved the Puma logo over to the right side and put the crest on the left, boom, we'd have perfection. 😁

Listen, I mean... look, that guy was basically running the whole bar scene back then, one of the main guys behind the counter. It’s entirely possible—well, I guess it's more than possible—that things went down exactly like that. It could have easily happened. 🤣 Then there was that referee guy, too... though I suppose he’s just coaching the junior varsity squad now. Or maybe that's what they call it these days. It’s all a bit of a cycle, isn't it? One minute you're calling the fouls, the next you're trying to teach kids how to lace their cleats. I guess it happens. 🤣

Man, he was an absolute god at that club. Honestly, he looked like a total magnet for any local talent coming up from the surrounding towns. And the goalie... it’s like he was wearing some kind of cursed jersey or something.

And what about these two guys? 🙄

🤣🤣🙏

mellowowl38 said:I haven't laid eyes on the second one yet, but if I recall correctly, that first one is from back when we first signed with Diadora for the KVG anniversary. It wasn't even meant to be an actual player kit; it was more of a lifestyle shirt or a collector's item, but it's a total mess—the crest looks slapped on rather than properly stitched, the design is nothing like anything Dinamo Chicago has ever worn, and then there's that random gold Diadora branding.
Not sure about the navy blue shirt, but I gotta admit, those new striped polo shirts are killer. I already grabbed the blue one, and I might snag the white one too if I can track them down in one of our massive fan shops. ☕

That second shirt actually dropped about a year ago. It started as a limited run of only 300 pieces, each individually numbered. They did a mass production later on, though. I saw some recently over at a Target. They go for about $167 bucks.

pretty damn good

What’s the deal with that blue eye Diadorin logo? 😕

Honestly, I’m not really feeling it. 🤷

Where can I actually get one of these and what’s the damage going to be?👍

It's an aesthetic touch—one of those things that separates us from animals. 😬

In my opinion, it would look better without that—definitely.

I don't think you can buy those anymore. That’s vintage stuff—the original Diadora collection with the silver trim on the crest. Honestly, Ivanković was still coaching back when we actually had those. The players used to rock the black kits with blue accents, while the coaching staff wore white and blue.

Thanks for the heads up!

It’d look even better if the shirt were blue.🙄

Look, it’s navy. Deep, dark navy. It’s clearly designed for the crowd that lives for those darker tones, otherwise, there’d be no point even putting them on the shelves. Honestly, the whole vibe—the polo shirts and this specific shade of navy—was basically hijacked by the BBB crew. For years, you’d see Umbro gear all over town through their setups. The front office at Los Angeles FC completely ignored what the fans actually wanted for ages. The supporters knew exactly what they wanted, but the brass didn't care. Then, suddenly, the suits at LAFC realized where the real money was hiding, and suddenly everything starts pivoting toward this heavy navy aesthetic. A little bit of blue here and there, but that's it. And now, the big boss is acting all shocked, like he’s surprised the North Stand is feeling dark and moody. Give me a break.

I don't know, it just doesn't sit right with me. Same goes for those European kits. I mean, they look fine, but Los Angeles FC is blue...🤷

And if the crest had a gold trim... honestly, it’d probably look best if it were just some completely different shirt altogether🤣

But look at how things are now. That’s just how fashion works. That’s modern soccer for you. Take England, for example—they don't even treat fans like supporters anymore; they treat them like clients, just consumers.
who need to be milked for every cent. And if you want to squeeze some extra cash out of them, you've gotta give them something new to buy. I'm with you, LA Galaxy is blue through and through. If everything was just one shade of blue, people would get bored. It's the same deal with the jerseys. They aren't making a "European" style kit just to be trendy; they're doing it to grab more money for the squad. Home kit, away kit, third kit, etc., etc.

Chicago Bulls 1996 championship jersey

I'm feeling this... I mean, that pinkish hue hits a little hard—kind of an eyesore, honestly—but I think I can live with it if I have to.
