2014 TFC Jerseys

[flamehawk]

What with the confirmation of a new onyx away jersey, thought I'd start a thread to discuss new jerseys.

Now, I dno if it's just lighting, but if this is the new GK jersey, I'd want to get one. Looks like it's dark brown, with beige stripes. Looks great in my book.

The brown you see is dirt. lol. These jerseys are your standard black with white stripes.

[Phil]

Practice stuff. I found the Tim B interview he was wearing a white warm up (sans TFC logo) that was exactly like the one adidas made in 07. I guess its all coming back again.

haha, figured it might be that too. Looks like I can just buy a black shirt and throw it in the mud.

[FreekAce]

so other then the twitter message stating this is happening, has anyone seen an image of this onyx kit yet?

You can see a tiny bit of it hanging in one of the new DP interviews on TFC tv ... Michael Bradley's if I'm not mistaken.

cheers! i'll check it out.

[Cashcleaner]

You know, I hear people talk about a new Dark Onyx shirt, but I've yet to see a single picture of it. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but could they be talking about the Keeper jersey Bendick has in Flamehawk's video clip?

Apparently a reliable person confirmed it on twitter, and it is visible in a photo of Bradley.

Oh man, yeah there's a bit of a sleeve in the photo.

I knew we had the Dark Onyx shorts for a while, and assumed they were going to be matched up with a red top. I'll tell you what, dark shorts with a red top would work well for home kits, and contrasting red shorts with a dark top might be good for the away kit.

[Banjax]

I'm not sure if this has been posted but i was watching this show called OpenGym which follows the raptors season behind the scenes. now in one of the scenes during the raptors drake night, drake and tim leiweke are talking and I'm 100% sure drake is holding our new Onyx colored jersey.

[flamehawk]

I love it too, though I am not sure what I think of having red at the bottom like that. I suppose it may look better tucked in with the full kit, but I'd lose the bottom red if it was up to me.

[Cashcleaner]

Looks more like a Jet Black to me than Dark Onyx, but still a very nice looking shirt.

[Laiping]

Love it too! Will be sure to pick one up too!

I like it overall, but it looks too much like DC United's home kit:

News about the new jersey from Armen:

"I spotted the new Toronto FC away shirts - onyx with red trim, vertical pinstripes stylized with TFC graphics. Looks really sharp."

https://twitter.com/ArmenBedakian/statuses/433320436001013760


Yay, pinstripes!

[ag futbol]

Anything is better than last years primary kit. Think it's cheesy, overdone, and the transparent maple leaf looks like a sweat stain from distance.

[SuperTCP]

I'll get one if they'll be available in "supporter" size. :)

Dom

Agreed!!!!!

[leafsman]

Is that the Jersey you get for renewing with the TFC MasterCard?

[SuperTCP]

Just checked the fine print - "As an added benefit to you, if this purchase is
made in the New Year with a BMO Toronto FC MasterCard, you will receive
the newly designed 2014 Toronto FC alternate jersey free of charge! "

F-ing A!!!!!!!!

Pretty vague there ... made in the New Year? like the entire 2014... does that mean if I reserved and gave them my credit card info before the new year I don't qualify? weird

[SuperTCP]

I hope they meant new year as in "this season", As i think i paid in late December. More fine print:

1. In
order to receive a certificate redeemable at Real Sports Apparel for an
official 2014 Toronto FC jersey, you must renew at least 20% of your Toronto FC
Season Ticket Account prior to the renewal deadline (see Toronto FC
renewal website for TBD date) using your BMO Toronto FC MasterCard. There
is a limit of one 2014 Toronto FC jersey for each season ticket account holder
renewing their season tickets. Offer subject to change without notice.

Wow.... That is huge!

[barticusz]

I really dislike the red part at the bottom.. Is this likely to be the jersey or are these just guesses based on what people have seen?

[Fort York Redcoat]

Alternate = 3rd jersey. We'll see it at home but not all the time. Meh.

These are all guesses.

Things we know - its dark onyx, has red pinstripes

[Waggy]

The seasons only a few weeks away, when are they going to unveil these already! I hope the real one is close to that black mockup. Even if it does look a bit like DC's, it's still a sexy kit.

Should be released at the end of this month, during MLS Jersey week. Last year jersey week was During Four-Day Period, February 25-28. Cheers.

That late eh? Maybe it just feels later because I'm eager anticipating this one. Thanks! Appreciate the info

[MKR]

that jersey looks quite sexual

[SilverSamurai]

I miss the grey... :(

[BBLaw]

I miss the grey... :(

Yikes, I couldn't stand the grey. I never thought it looked as clean as the whites from the last few years. But it could be worse, our supplier could be Warrior.

I liked it because it was a bit silverish.
A shade or 2 darker would be nice... maybe a gunmetal?

The day my silver kit dies, is the day I die a little inside. :(

I am still pretty excited about this shirt, but really? Maple leafs again? Couldn't they look into more things distinctly Torontonian and draw from our city?

[SuperTCP]

They should add the Eagle from the TFC Academy Logo on the sleeve, like DC United did with the Eagle. Very sharp. I guess the Maple leaf in our logos is not really representing Canada, we have the flag on the sleeve for that, it represents our ownership, MLSE.

[Redcoe15]

Too long! Want now!

The academy logo is incredible to be honest. We're really going overboard with this whole maple leaf business. We already have it on the crest, we have the silhouette on the home kits, we have the Canadian flag on the arm, and now our aways have these tiny maple leafs running up and down the shirt. When is enough, enough?

I hear this quite a bit - wish we could just get them to do it.

[Stryker]

They finally make a black(ish) jersey and they ruin it with an iron on crest Are you fucking kidding me!?!

Oh shit, I am sold. I still wished they were a little more creative in terms of the maple leafs, but I've always love pin stripes

Just an opinion:

I love celebrating we are from Canada and having the Maple Leaf, but this has gone too far; don't shove the symbol down our throat; I feel this is more New York Yankees than Toronto FC, in my opinion

I disagree. How the hell is it NYY? It's a national reference and subtle at that. I will never get sick of it. You're free to your opinion, though.

Well, I disagree that its NYY, but I do have an issue that it is a national reference. We are representing Toronto; we're not the Canadian Natioanal Team. They couldn't think of anything distinctly Torontonian? I don't mind the maple leaf once in a while (I suppose in reference to our hockey team) but almost every single jersey has worked around the maple leaf or the Canadian flag. I am not a big fan of nationalistic/patriotic bs in our local sports team ... I don't even know why we do the anthem at games. But I suppose this is a relatively small matter.

[__wowza]

it might just be me, but i think the stripes are atrocious.

that is to say, they're atrocious because of the maple leafs. why not just plain pinstripes (aside from the fact that we've never used pinstripes before)? i mean.. kudos to adidas for trying to make us one of the only teams in the league (like the LA sash, the dallas hoops, etc) that has an "kit identity", but this is ridiculous. yes, we were canada's first team, but two other teams have been added since then. this reeks of lazy designing to me. it's the equivalent of smattering first nations designs over every vancouver kit, or fleur de lis over every montreal kit for the next 8 years.

the only positive i can make of it is to say "at least it's not white", but aside from that the collar hemming and pinstripes aren't even symmetrical.
AND THE CREST IS STILL TOO CLOSE TO THE SPONSOR.

:hulk:

/rant.



i can see the appeal, but it's just not my thing. i bought the first kit when i thought the maple leaf was tastefully incorporated into the kit, now it's just gotten excessive.
i never want to buy a shirt that i look at and think "that's kinda nice.. but why?".

[mowe]

i can see the appeal, but it's just not my thing. i bought the first kit when i thought the maple leaf was tastefully incorporated into the kit, now it's just gotten excessive.

Wait you think the home kit's maple leaf is tasteful? That's interesting. I personally find it obnoxious and unnecessary. Almost to the point of ruining an otherwise great kit. Plus it looks like a giant sweat stain on TV.

These pinstripes are fine for me because, as seen in the Defoe picture, at a distance you can't even tell they're maple leafs. They seem more of an "extra" detail when looking at the shirts up close rather than a main feature like the home kits.

But I completely agree that the shoving of patriotism down our throats needs to stop. We have a maple leaf on the crest and a Canadian flag on the sleeves; that's enough to get the point across. What's more important is the club actually playing and developing Canadians — which TFC has done a good job of — so no complaints there.

[__wowza]

Wait you think the home kit's maple leaf is tasteful? That's interesting. I personally find it obnoxious and unnecessary.

no no no, i meant the "first" kits with the maple leaf on them. like.. the very first (our second jersey) one.

http://www.soccershopusa.com/Images_Products/Adidas-TorontoFC-HomeJersey-E79779-1.jpg

i get what you're saying about the pinstripes though, i didn't consider that. i'd need to see how big they are before moving from "meh" to "possibly".

[ManUtd4ever]

I love it. Nicest kit we've ever had by far.

[Eastend]

But does it come in "supporter" size?

[LFC_TFC]

Maybe its just me, but the way I see it the shitecaps and limpact had history before joining MLS but TFC did not so to me their legacy at this point is being the first Canadian team so why not use maple leafs as a continuing theme and its sort of a nice way to connect to other parts of Canada that do not have a MLS team. Can't wait to get my free one!

TFC itself may not have long enough of a history, but Toronto does. They can draw on Toronto's flag, or it's coat of arms. Or they could draw from Toronto's footballing history: The Dominion Football Association (first football association that formed outside of teh UK), The Blizzards. I mean Philli's BethlehemSteel FC jersey has become iconic, and personally it's one of my favourite.

[LFC_TFC]

Funny enough (and I didn't know this but I had to check) Toronto's flag has a big red maple leaf in the center lol!

[barticusz]

And just like that i'm off to mlsgear.com to preorder this.

[barticusz]

What name to get on this jersey? thoughts? I want Laba but i'm afraid he'll never play here again.

Definitely get way your saying, but couple things; yes its overload Canadian maple leaf, but i think the whole thing with people saying its connected to MLSE is just stupid. Agree kudos to Adidas for giving it at least a design flare and making it identifiable to Toronto per say, i find some MLS and EPL kits are just to blah i actually love the design but am also not so hot on the Pin strip maple leafs. Yes it is like Montreal and the fleur de lis but "that" is montreal and TFC has been showing the pride with the maple leafs and its synonymous with TFC i am proud were repping the maple leafs so much… now on both kits is a bit much.

I don't know what (or if) european team you follow I'm a United supporter and i swear if we get Nike as our next kit maker I'll probably stop buying ours or very rarely lol cause i find that out of all the kit makers out there Adidas is by far the best ever see Ajax from a year or two ago ? lime green sick i actually have one cause i liked it so much and one of my favourite players was with them, point is yea its a bit over kill but at least we have a supplier that actually designs a kit, i pick up a United one every year and last 2-3 years is just cut paste change 2 things.

[Phil]

But does it come in "supporter" size?

Adidas said they have heard the complaints (that grey sleeve jerset was tight) and relaxed the sizing a bit.

We won't know until we get our hands on them. This will be the 'free' jersey if you used the bmo TFC card to renew. I think it looks good, not sure about the maple leaf holes but I do like the darker colour for sure.

[Fort York Redcoat]

Distinctly Toronto.

Suggestions so far have been the busy crest and I'm sure someone made the suggestion of the tower in previous years. I think it would be a challenge to make that unlame.

If people are tired of our nations symbol on clubwear I'd suggest NOT substituting it with lesser known symbols. Sounds like forcing it. But have at it. I'll be pleasantly surprised if I see a design to prove me wrong.

I'd like to see it just be red. No more embossing of symbols. Like DC's new home shirt.

Leiweke's laughing his ass off right now.

After seven years of the most atrocious abuse of a fan base, he rolls in with megaphone in hand, lumps us into an undesirable, unwanted groundshare with the Argos, markets Tottenham Hotspurs' reject striker like the second coming of George Best and now has you all gagging for a flimsy $125 third jersey.

So I got an email about pre-ordering the new Away shirt, which I'm totally willling to do. But as a SSH, we get a discount at Real Sports and BMO Field. If I pre-order I can't use the discount. Why would anybody pre-order it if they can get a discount and they don't even know for sure what it looks like? Anybody know of any way we can apply the SSH discount to the pre-order? I've emailed my Account Manager but haven't heard back yet.

Yeah, I'm with you. I'm all for getting the shirt, I quite like it, but why would we pay full price, when we will get 15% off when our season seat package comes through. Keep us posted on what your account manager says please :)

Yeah I like the jersey and could see myself buying it. Just not until I see how the season pans out and if any of these players start sticking with the club and have a break out year.

This is the best thing that's happened to the club in a very long time. I for one, will always support the team win, lose, or draw - the way the 12th man should be.

After seven years of the most atrocious abuse of a fan base, he rolls in with megaphone in hand, lumps us into an undesirable, unwanted groundshare with the Argos, markets Tottenham Hotspurs' reject striker like the second coming of George Best and now has you all gagging for a flimsy $125 third jersey.


Give your heads a shake. They'll get my money for merchandise when they fcukin' well earn it. When they actually win something.

im going to buy one,and I will support this club win lose or draw.i guess im a sucker:scarf:

[__wowza]

Thought it prudent to nip the bone stroking in the bud. It's heading that way.

see that you've completely overlooked my post saying i've only ever bought ONE tfc shirt (aka: the only shirt of ours i've liked).
bone stroking indeed. it's not like we didn't know we'd be getting a new jersey this year.

[Petor]

Here you go:

http://www.mlsgearcanada.ca/mls1051171401.html

Thanks but the only XXL they have on that site is the long sleeve one.

I found a short sleeve XXL on the Real Sports site.
Looks like I'm going to wait until I get my 15% discount card with my seasons tickets.
By then I'll be able to see it first before giving them my money.

[PopePouri]

It's going to look absolutely killer from the field. Up close, I'm not so sure.

[barticusz]

Anyone know which place is better to buy from? Realsports apparel or the mls gear site? With shipping it's about $180 to get the authentic kit with a name and number from Real Sports.

[jmeisenh]

Got a Twitter DM back from @TorontoFC_SSH about applying the SSH Discount (15%) and they said "@TorontoFC_SSH: Email Glenn Knight at RSA and he will be able to set this up for you. His email is Glenn.Knight@MLSE.com. Thanks!"

So I encourage you all to email Glenn Knight to pre-order your new away kit and apply the SSH discount you would get if you bought at Real Sports or at BMO Field.

[T-boy]

Ok, so anybody who has the new shirt already clarify if they are tiny sizes like the home shirt last year? I'm usually a small to medium t-shirt, and I had to get a large, and its still tight!

[magmadragon]

Same cut as last year. I had to go a size up again.

Im in the same boat as T-Boy...let us know please

[SQUIRREL]

Cool.... thanks (regarding shirt size)

[T-boy]

Same cut as last year. I had to go a size up again.

Damn, I might need an XL, and I'll go on a diet, so I can decrease my 33 inch pant size to fit into a LARGE!!! :o

[Cas87]

Does anyone know if the huskier supporters should bother going and trying a XXL?

I've heard both same fit as last year and some slightly looser.

Would like to know before dropping the $

[Ageroo]

crap I should have looked....I walked over to Real Sports to get a first hand look at the Jersey.....it is really sharp. I know what I'll be asking for my birthday....

[Lowndes94]

MLS really needs to update it's logo

[TorontoGooner]

Any ideas where in the west end of town I can pick one of these up? Don't fancy driving downtown and I want to try one on before ordering

[khso11]

got mine, the size is similar to last years, and a bit looser, so the same size should be fine. You can't grab a pre-printed Defoe jersey and pay the difference if you have the free jersey vocher, you'll need to grab a blank one and pay for the printing to be done afterwards.

[SoccerMan]

anybody know if there is going to be a replica jersey? normally jerseys are roughly $75... $125 is steep... or is it just the actual game worn edition for sale right now?

[Doucet3]

There's a replica for like $80 ? But the pinstripe isn't the maple leafs and obv no Canadian flags I think it's at real sport (?) if not mlsgear

[Tony Santiago]

I got mine this morning and really like it! Suddenly I'm super pumped for the season. With the SSH discount it was $120.60. Hilarious that they made the scarves to match the new shirts, even though the new shirts are going to be hard for many people to get...still I do like the scarf and the new jersey is the best yet in my opinion.

[TFC Kevin]

Won the Real Sports scavenger hunt yesterday and got it for free. :smilewinkgrin: It looks way better in person, and I'm loving the material on the BMO logo. Whatever sized shirt you wear, go one size up for the jersey.

[flatpicker]

So I'm downtown and thought about going to Real Sports. But I don't have the new card on me. I guess there's no way I could get the discount or redeem the 15% afterwards?

Turns out I only had to bat my eyelashes at the girl and she gave me the discount.

[Cuppy]

Just picked up my free jersey. Tighter than a speedo but for free I guess I can't complain

[OgtheDim]

When I was in there today, I noticed not many long sleeves. Or #'d jerseys period. Only saw Defoe on the new shirt and a few Bradleys on the red one.

Meanwhile, Dion Phaneuf has more shirts with his name on in just the St. Pats version.

[Cas87]

I got my new jersey today and it all depends on fit, not the size that is on the kit.

i tried a XXL in the Onyx and the Red.

Onyx fit fine and i didn't feel like i needed a corset.

the red on the other hand barely got over my barrel chest and down to my hips.

anyone waiting to see how the sizes fit, gotta go and try it on before you decide.

[SuperTCP]

To those who recieved the free voucher, was it mailed to your billing address or to your season ticket shipping address?

I have yet to recieve mine.

[lanarkist]

Probably going to get the onyx this week - the sizes are ridiculous though. I must own at least 20 different kits, and at least one from every major brand. Every single other jersey I own is a large - it's like clockwork, I wouldn't even need to try it on or buy it in store. Last year I go and grab a large in the red kit only to realize it was actually made of spandex. Asked staff at Real Sports what the deal was, and he responded they are european sizes/fit. I laughed, and unzipped my sweater to show a premier league kit, in large. SO weird.

[Abou Sky]

Anyone NOT receive their voucher yet? Who did you call?

[Walms]

what is this voucher you speak of?

[SuperTCP]

I called my ticket rep. They stated it would be mailed to me at the same address my tickets were shipped to. This was 10 days ago, and I have yet to recieve my voucher.

[pdogg]

[SuperTCP]

Voucher is for Free Oynx Jersey for Season Seat Holders who Renewed their tickets before a certain date using their TFC BMO Mastercard.

[SuperTCP]

I was told it would be before the end of the week last week, and the same again this week.

Well let's hope we get this week so we can pick up at BMO field on saturday

[Ivy]

Called TFC today. Was told 1-2 weeks, and that they wouldn't be sitting by the mailbox waiting if they were me.
I have a feeling this is being delayed due to limited supplied that is being held to be sold at BMO, prior to be given away for free.

Makes total business sense. They are hoping for big cash spending from the hype of the opener. I am sure the Defoe jerseys were already printed and now with him scoring two last week they hope people are going to be jumping on them. Why would they give away the free ones at that time...good thinking.

[schiraldihno]

I called my ticket rep and they said they had an issue with printing out the vouchers. They said to wait 1-2 weeks. Sounds like BS to me.
I asked at real sports if I was allowed to upgrade to the long sleeve jersey and pay the difference and they were ok with it. Likely to that since it seems like every game is cold anyways.

[Ivy]

An issue printing? Lol mine said they ran into a problem with the distributor and canada post lol.

I disagree.

BMO is the one paying for the jerseys, not MLSE

I would guess that MLSE gives the vouchers to BMO and BMO pays MLSE $xxx amount per voucher (obviously less than $130)

Thing is, the more people that are wearing the jersey, the more people will want the jersey, which drives more sales. What will drive sales even more? Manufactured scarcity. If the black jerseys start to become 'hard to come by' every time people who want one see one they are MUCH more likely to buy it.

My guess would be that they only have a limited supply and wouldn't be able to fill the vouchers for the black jerseys right now if they gave them all out. Canada post/printing is BS for sure although in fairness to the ticket reps, that is probably what they are told to say, even if they don't beleive it.

[Red CB Toronto]

The will be wearing the new black jerseys on Saturday as per a tweet from Real Sports.

I don't think we disagree too much. I know BMO is paying for the jersey vouchers but my point is why allow all the people with vouchers to dry up the stock on a hyped gameday when they can be doing full priced cash sales that day. I just think the potential of those sales overshadows the need of having the jersey out there thus inspiring people to buy it. Just the fact that the team will be wearing the new kit would be all they need for inspiration in terms of sales. They may or may not have a limited supply...who knows on that one. I just think they would try to maximize the cash sales at full price and if it means delaying some vouchers strategically so be it.

We didn't receive the voucher from MLSE. The voucher was sent to us from BMO before we received the tix.
In addition, Real Sports didn't object when we selected a long sleeve jersey.

[Abou Sky]

Ok guys, got an update on non-receipt of vouchers.

Kirsten Ohanian who is the woman who I spoke to at MLSE about relocation is 'on the case' for me.

You can reach her at: 416.360.4625 x 5384

She will ask you to email her with your account number noting that you have not yet received the voucher.

My guess is that it is a hell of a task to track that kind of thing in those kinds of numbers so things get missed.

[nascarguy]

I just left a voice message with her and my account number. I wonder what the real issue is.did you get a call back

[kodiakTFC]

I called in awhile back and they told me the vouchers would be in the mail after the second home game. Just wait. I'm guessing this is a staggered sales practice. They know there would be a rush to buy them, why let us, who will get them regardless, get them immediately. It makes sense on their part to control inventory.

[nascarguy]

it think it would be better if they email or hand out the vouchers or jersey at a bmo card party but that would be too much work to pull off

[flamehawk]

did you get a call back

Nope. :(

[kodiakTFC]

I have not received a voucher yet. I'll give it some time though. They sent out conflicting messages last year as well but in the end they took care of things.

Bones...

I just received a voucher

What bmo card party?they should have had a pre-game party at the home opener for the season ticket holders that paid with the tfc bmo card

i'm selling my voucher, so if you were planning on buying the onyx jersey anyway, you can save yourself some money by grabbing the voucher from me.

http://forums.redpatchboys.ca/showthread.php?35658-TFC-3rd-jersey-voucher-for-sale

$95. At real sport it's 119+ tax (roughly $135 after tax), so this would save you about $40.

[flamehawk]

I still haven't received my voucher yet :(

[SuperTCP]

I still haven't received my voucher yet :(

I am still waiting for mine as well. :(

[Phil]

Mine is in, I had to call TFC to sort it out. They said if you haven't gotten it yet, for sure get them to re-issue. The old one will be voided if you do recieve it and try to redeem it.

It gets mailed to your billing address not your ticket delivery address.

[Cashcleaner]

Yeah I gave TFC a call and was told the hold-up is on BMO's end. I'm guessing they maybe weren't expecting so much interest? Anyway, the guy I talked to said we'll see it within a week's time, but if the 11th comes and goes and you still don't have it, give the club another ring.

[Yagbod]

I called them and they said that I wasn't even on the list. They will still get me one and send it out. Call them if you haven't got it.

Also, they better not run out of their largest sizes...

Do you mean is your question/answer to your question even significant?

My answer would be, if it helps you sleep at night knowing how many Defoe jerseys are sold, then yes it is a significant question.

I know you're trying to be funny but just to clarify I was wondering if the sales numbers are significant since MLSE has hyped this like nothing else...just wanted to know if there was payoff in terms of people actually buying a defoe shirt.

The beckham shirt sales were crazy (not comparing the 2 in popularity) and they released those numbers really quick.

[sidvan]

Had to contact rep to have one "re-issued" as well. Waiting......

[denMAR]

Just got mine today - must have came in yesterday's mail and missed it.

The odd thing is that the letter it comes with is dated from February 13, 2014. Obviously they were selling loads of them and didn't want it to cut into the profits.

[schiraldihno]

They are $99 taged so appy the 15% off on that and add tax.

I saw some at real sports when I was getting my LS free kit but they didn't have a ton of them in.

[schiraldihno]

Thanks guys,
I checked Real Sports but I guess they were sold out or something.

[Nuvinho]

question: does the 15% STH discount apply to also just the numbering of the jersey? or Real Sports won't give you a discount for that?

I also called to get my voucher re-sent to me, which was supposed to be last week, but I am still waiting. :(

[SuperTCP]

Spoke to my rep over almost 1 month ago, said the voucher would arrive soon. She has yet to respond to my follow up email. I asked it she could provide me the direct contact at BMO who is issueing the vouchers, cut out the middle man. Last year went much smoother , as our names and account numbers were on a list at Real Sports, no waiting for a voucher, and most likely less of a headache for the FO and less costly (no stamps and voucher print fees).

We will see how this plays out.....every Tuesday at 2pm TFC's facebook page posts a video with a question and the first correct answer gets a new alternate jersey......I am pretty sure I am the first one for today's answer.....let's see if I am the winner.

[pdogg]

Voucher finally showed up for me. My rep had to confirm with me a few times that I did in fact use the TFC mastercard, which means that they never had me on file. So they sent out a replacement with a letter dated February 13th.
