View Full Version : next years TFC kits

this IS NOT a thread that contains any pictures or descriptions of our next kit (although i'm sure that it's going to get several hits based off of that). i also know i'm jumping the gun on next year talk when this season isn't finished.

i was just wondering, MLS teams update their kits every two seasons and next season is our turn i believe, if anyone knew or had heard anything in regards to what we can expect. adidas tends to have generic templates of kits available for the year (minus colour schemes, etc) when the EPL and la liga start up, so i'm guessing it would be one of those?

correct me if i'm wrong on any of this.

I'd think it'll be something close to the white kit.

I like that - alot...

Simple, no collar, a classy red jersey...

At the end of the day, any jersey they come out with, some will love it, some will hate, some will be indifferent...

There is one thing I am 10000% certain about - I'm not buying a new kit every 2-years, so I'll be "retro" in the stands for a while... :)

I really like that. as long as they didn't put any extra crap like all for one or an embossed maple leaf on it, i would be seriously tempted to buy that, even with the big bmo ad.

i'm sorely against having both the logo AND the company name on ANY jersey. this isn't me right? i'd love to have just the logo on ours.

I've been watching footy so long, that when I see a jersey without a sponsor it looks weird...

I know that is horrible to say - its just the truth...

I will say this, a footy jersey has never made me change or purchase from a company...

I'm a TFC supporter - I bank at TD Bank...

I'm a Liverpool supporter - I drink Coors Light (I know Carlsberg is now gone)...

Advertising only works if you let it...

i meant BMO logo

on our kit it wouldn't necessarily be that bad. i'm just an asshole when it comes to aesthetics and having that + the company name throws off every kit ive ever seen.

You're right about the current look of the TFC kit. The BMO logo is too big, or too high/close to the TFC crest...

A logo like this (BMO) where the left side of the logo is so pronounced, its tough for it to look good with a team crest above it...

On the new kit, they need to either shrink the BMO logo, or take it down a touch - it just doesn't look "right" in its current format...

Just get rid of it all together.

paul beirne I hereby promise to buy any and every kit tfc ever puts out that doesn't have a sponsor.

that's got to be better than bmo's $4m a year right?

forgive the crude mockup, i think that looks a fuck ton better though.

and i agree with the whole "scrapping of the sponsor" idea, after seeing what they did to my beloved spurs kit :( although might i add that this will never happen in the MLS.

I dont like just the logo on the jersey at all... Especially the mock-up above. Looks weird to me. I think it would look a lot better if it just said 'BMO' on it.

Jimmy you did up a very rough design based on Chelsea's away kit last year.

A little arranging and Photoshoping out the blue and I think you've got a winner:

Using Chelsea 2011 as the template

First words out of my mouth: "Yep. That works for me."

I gotta admit, there's always something classy about going minimalistic. Reverse red/white for the away top and make a black or dark grey third jersey and we are set!

Section 117
09-20-2010, 05:05 PM
From what I was told the jersey will look very similar to this year just replace the grey and change it to black. They will be keeping the white kit and the third jersey will be all black.

This info was given to me from a friend who orders TFC product from Adidas

I like how there's white lines inside the actual font, to help bring out the shape I guess.
It really is a thing of beauty, perhaps we should look to sign it.

It seems that TFC have ditched the Greys (at least in league play) and gone for the Whites instead. I think they should stick to this and completely ditch the Greys alltogether except for a training kit.
Also, I think TFC should wear a different away colour for NCC and CCL play. It would be good to go with an all black or maybe even a maroon kit. A Blizzard throwback with the current TFC crest would be a nice kit as well.

yeah, i started this thread out of curiosity. lest we forget that threads like this have absolutely no right to be around anywhere but the off season :rolleyes: especially when we can continue to beat dead horses like "what do you think of dero?", and "who do you think our new GM should be?". if you don't like a thread, don't bump it by posting in it.

GAH !!! Just when I was I thought I was out... (not enough new content to read).

So anyway - your point there was already made by J.Bald X esq. and I concurred (and again somewhat with your point as well, but posting isn't necessarily bumping, especially when the thread is new and at the top), but your remakrk about 'dead horse' threads is a bit off the mark.

The club is obviously in the market for new personnel after showing Mo and Preki the door. There is some legitimate speculation on who their replacements may be. Also, there appear to be differing opinions on the role and performance od DeRo this past season, hence a thread for that discussion.

This thread, then if a distraction from those kinds of threads, has some value - just not for me.

Let's not dwell on this any further - if I post in here again it'll be on topic and I promise I'll do that with all threads - no more 'This Thread is Shit' posts from Tobor.

Thank you for being a friend.
Travel down the road and back again.
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant.
And if you threw a party,
invited everyone you knew.
You would see the biggest gift would be from me

But.. just.. those are ALL logos! Every single one. The Bank of Montreal's logo is BMO plus that stupid M. In fact it's officially: BMO M Bank of Montreal, so we're lucky to get the shortened version. That M by itself looks ridiculous and isn't even a logo on its own. I happen to really like BMO on our kits, it's definitely one of the classiest sponsorships in MLS. I mean... we could have:
