Skip the commercial and it's the first thing there.

No sponsor (yet?) What do you guys think? Looks weird if you ask me, like a big mustard stain.

But, if we had this style, and maybe made the horizontal line a bit thicker, it would look like a big ol' T for Toronto.

[flatpicker]

I think it looks fine.
Maybe even a little better than fine.
The colours are good.
The design is solid (as apposed to squiggly... like previous TFC top).
I like the crest in the centre.
I say - Thumbs Up.

[TFCtoMUFC]

Like that jersey. Colors not the best but design is cool.

[SilverSamurai]

Haha mustard. sort of like a mustard tiger. lol


Not too bad. Nice to see a team with a different colour.

[MUFC_Niagara]

I've never been a fan of the badge in the centre...it should always be over the heart, IMO.

[sulfur]

It suits this jersey though. Although, the adidas logo would be best in the middle too. With one to the side and the other in the middle, things look a bit off-kilter.

I thought so too but it's a great-looking kit, some say the colours are a bit strange but I like the fact that they're different.

[James Oliphant]

Nice design, but I agree with the mustard tiger comment.

There will be. First release is without. Get people to buy it up, then release the sponsor version, getting people to pony up yet again.

[Redcoe15]

I like it. It looks good. Combining elements of Philadelphia's city flag with the U.S. Union Army that the team was named after. Those SoBs should be thrilled.

[rocker]

not bad. although if they get a sponsor, it's gonna look like shit breaking that mustard line that goes down. unless they can fit the sponsor right on the stripe.

MLS clubs don't usually sport great kits, but I'll admit that this is one of the best I've seen. Purely a personal choice though, I've always liked vertical tri-colours and centre crests. I know way back before the TFC kits and logos were introduced myself and a few others were putting together some designs of our own and a white/red version of this shirt was floated about.

[ilikemusic]

Great looking jersey.

[Redcoe15]

Here's a larger, more sharper picture of the new Philly home jersey:

[Gixmo]

Sharp looking kit, Well done!

[Darlofletch]

Not bad at all. Hope they stick with no sponsor.

[I_AM_CANADIAN]

I like it, but the line 4/5ths of the way up is quite random, and the stripe should go all the way up. Other than that I approve of it.

[CretanBull]

I've never liked centre-crests, but it does suit this jersey. I'm glad they went with something classic looking and not something more 'wild' - like that ugly as shit Seatle jersey.

[Bars92]

The US is famous for having kits with centred crests.

Don't you mean enormous logos/script on the front of shirts? ;)

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

like the team name the jersey is also ugly..:{

[Bars92]

I have an old USA kit from the early ninties and it has the crest in the middle when no one was doing that.

[Wagner]

logo in the middle looks good on this kit.

Side note: i think if the brown was switched with grey...tfc would have a better away jersey.

[Bobo]

That shirt looks like a steaming pile of shit.

[TFC_Chris]

The body looks like Columbus' away jerseys with different colours.
The sleeves look like Chelsea's jersey.
All in all, I like the look. Very unique and different from the rest of the league, which is what you should have.

[TFC HSV]

That shirt looks like a steaming pile of shit.

thats because the shit comes from st.pauli:canada:

I like it. Reminds me of the german kit I have.

[London]

like the colours, not the middle stripe

[Lennon]

I like it too. Kind of reminds me of PUMAS' jersey ...

[billyfly]

Looks fine to me. I thought maybe they'd go with Boca Juniors style and horizontal strip but I guess not.

[xj Darrell]

Very sharp - I like the colours and don't mind the center stripe. They put a lot of time into the design of their logo and jersey and it shows.

[SvenFlu]

I like it too. Kind of reminds me of PUMAS' jersey ...

http://www.soccershopusa.com/Images_Products/Lotto_PumasAwayJersey_2008-2009_1.jpg

Except for the ENORMOUS fucking bear/puma (whatever the fuck it is), weird lines, and 15 jersey sponsors

My God, that is an ugly jersey. The Philly one is decent though.

[ginkster88]

I like it, but the line 4/5ths of the way up is quite random, and the stripe should go all the way up. Other than that I approve of it.

Not random at all actually, it matches the same line through the shield on their crest.

Oh man those colours are.... are.... are..... :puke:

[uncle p]

I like it too. Kind of reminds me of PUMAS' jersey ...

http://www.soccershopusa.com/Images_Products/Lotto_PumasAwayJersey_2008-2009_1.jpg
This jersey to me reminds me of CFL jersey's lol after reebok, or whoever took over league sponsorship an few years back

[Lennon]

My God, that is an ugly jersey. The Philly one is decent though.

Pretty sweet imo ... love the huge puma ... very original

[neuf]

:D



Arbitrarily cutting off the centre stripe looks weird. I'd like to see it with the stripe going all the way to the collar.

[FluSH]

I agree. It would look better if the Adidas logo was above the crest.

Probably symbolism... as in nothing is above our crest...

[nascarguy]

guy do not forget that mls change the team shirt every 2 to 3 years so I think we will be getting a new team shirt for the 2011 season in dec

Never really noticed until you mentioned it. Good catch!

[manic.street.preacher]

the adidas symbol is kinda distracting, but otherwise, a very nice looking jersey. clean, simple lines, i'm glad they didn't go all modern-ish. i like the colours too, but that could be cos i'm a blue bombers fan :D

[Razcle]

I think it is a unique look for the team. Glad to see it is something different from some of the cookie cutters we have seen in the MLS.

I wonder what we are going to nickname the Union once they start playing. Something to make fun of that snake I hope.

Maybe the Union piles of steaming shit..

[ArmenJBX]

The fact that the initials are P.U. just make the shit jokes even better.

We start out season with them right?

Maybe a big "Pee Yew!" With a picture of Dichio pinching his nose for the tifo?

...or something to that effect :D

If someone could photoshop Q-bert's eyes to make them look mean, and make him red, or give him a TFC kit, that would be great too.

[loconet]

Reminds me a bit of Boca's jersey

[RicoSuave44]

i like it

[Alarius]

Two Thumbs up!

[Parkdale]

I like it because it's doesn't look like just another copy of the same old template.
I guess Philly has convinced adidas that they will sell enough of them to get
something a little more unique. Also, I don't mind the dark yellow, it's better
than the 'Crew Cat Piss' yellow

[flatpicker]

^ absolutely.

Toronto needs to shake things up a bit when they do their next jersey revamp.
The last two have been a little unimaginative.

i think its the same jersey LAG and DCU are using next season

[Shway]

here is the away jersey
http://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/image/Philadelphia-Union-10-11-adidas-away-shirt.jpg

[__wowza]

it's like a classier version of the Crew jersey. Their away is a similar design with the colours flipped (it looks absolutely horrendous!), anyone know when the Portland/Whitecaps kits are being released?

[__wowza]

^ absolutely.

are you kidding? i LOVE the maple leaf ident, and im completely bias to jersey that has a collar.

[zeelaw]

very nice kit

[james]

i like it, reminds me a bit of Boca Juniors. Except Boca has a yellow stripe across, where PHilly has a Gold stripe going down and the Philly blue is a little bit darker. But overall i actually think PHilly is one of my favourite looking jersey in MLS, much better then that ugly green and sky blue Seattle got last season. I like Seattles organization but those colours are just like puke to me! :drinking:

^ Is that legit? The Navy Blue looks more like Black.

[Stencils]

Would look better if the arms and shoulder lines were solid instead of stripes.

Al-Mo has mentioned that we will have something special when they visit the "Aluminum Jungle" next year.

[Technorgasm]

Will look GREAT after they conceed a goal or three at BMO field.
