I dislike that they feel it necessary to print 'Orlando City' on the badge.

The sun-backed lion on a circular crest, with a latin motto would've been ace.

has the benefit of being one of distinct kit in MLS. it stands out, because not many teams in the world use purple. and it's not stupid distinct like Sounders 'rave green'

Not a bad uniform design. I'm a fan of the white band across the bottom - it goes well with the adidas stripes. Never been a huge fan of the team's crest, but it looks okay on the jersey as it is. Gold neckline is a nice touch.

4/5 in my books.

I call the Sounders rave green "turf green", because they blend with the turf at Century link

No flags on the kits for next year? Looks like the MLS crest is on both sleeves.

I'd love if the kits had the actual flag of the PLAYERS country, instead of just the US and Canada. We all know TFC, Limpact and Shitecaps are based in Canada...just like we all know LA, NY, etc are in the US. Now if Gilberto had a Brazilian flag, Bradley a US, Henry (our Henry not the french one) a Maple Leaf.
I'm sure someone has brought this up before, but, I haven't seen it

I don't like flags on kit.

National squads don't do it (unless the flag is incorporated into the respective Association's crest).

Why are club sides doing it ?

You don't see it anywhere else in the world - not even during international competitions.

Onyx should be back but we are getting a new red home jersey. I doubt the colors will be up to the sponsor. They will just do another red with onyx trip I think. Hopefully it's something a little more flashy then ours have been they've been pretty bland. But that's what you get with a ADIDAS only league.

It's club football. No flags necessary. There's enough homage in some of the clubs symbols or kits anyway. If a club like ours puts the leaf relief in our shirts - cool but having the flags standard just looks like a hooked on phonics ways to learn where a city is.

Agreed...that's why I say if you're going to put flags on the shoulder, use the player's home country. Or, no flags at all.

The only idea of a flag on a jersey that I would support would be the flag of the city/state/prov the team plays in. IMO That's the only flag you should see.

I like it as well. I have never ever had a problem with the flags on the kit. People also bitch about the use of the maple leaf, and I don't get that beef either. I'm a proud Canadian and I just can't get enough.

What I think would look tacky is if every player on the roster had their flag(s) on the sleeve, as was mentioned by someone above. I'm all for individualism but that would be tacky. Why don't we just put their height, weight, and SIN card numbers on there too?

Yeah I find the flag + logo on each sleeve to be a bit much. Not opposed to the idea of either, but they need to downsize it a bit.

So as a "proud Canadian", if, say, you played for the New York Red Bulls you'd rather have the stars and stripes on your sleeve?? Me, I'd rather have the Maple Leaf.
I see where you are coming from, but, comparing country of origin flags to height/weight/etc, is a bit much. Anyways, I have no problems whatsoever with maple leafs on the TFC kit. Was just throwing a different idea out there.:)

New York Red Bulls look exactly the same as Red Bull Salzburg as well. They have branch plant soccer teams in New York.

Yes, but there is an understanding there based on Red Bull being a brand and everybody knows what they are trying to do. And, frankly, nobody really cares about Salzburg teams. EPL though...

Man City using pretty much the exact same shirts when they don't have to just proves that their ownership doesn't get the market they are in.

Kudos to them for hiring some PR flacks to go onto the MLS.com boards and try to downplay this - somebody must have realised this is not a good idea.

All they needed to do was make the dominant colour Yankee Blue. But, no, they go with Man City / SKC blue and try to make the two teams synonymous.

Some people didn't fancy them, but I always felt the same way you do.

What I WOULD do away with, though, are the anthems to start every match; especially awkward, when there are just a couple Canadians, for example, in the line-up—heck, even some of the U.S. based sides have just a few Americans starting, at times.

Not to derail the thread, but I would reserve anthems for the season openers and closers, to mark those occasions in a more special way.

Sports have always been a method of enforcing patriotism upon the public. It'll never change. Nothing to do with what nationality of the players in the lineups, it's about the people watching.

boom.
there is it.

sports is a way to build nationalism.
Anthems before sporting events is a relatively new thing.

as people become educated and more global minded and traveled, religion is less of a way to categorize people.
but regardless of your religion, you can get behind imaginary lines drawn on a map. (Nationalism)

so when large groups of people gather, let's add some patriotism/nationalism (anthems).

some decent articles about it:

http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/6957582/the-history-national-anthem-sports-espn-magazine

http://mentalfloss.com/article/18997/why-do-we-sing-national-anthem-sporting-events

summary: it was war-time patriotism (in an era that saw crazy propaganda and censorship during the wars)
and it never stopped, as questioning nationalism might be viewed as treason. (or is it the sincerest form of patriotism?)

Wagner
11-25-2014, 12:31 PM
Well.. yes and no.

Not to get into semantics, but before I'd say it's used to "enforce" patriotism, I'd sooner describe it as a mutually beneficial tool; the powers that be in sports use it to channel patriotism, giving their participants, both fans and athletes alike, that extra percentile of enthusiasm. Therein you see the next point I don't quite agree with you on—that it has NOTHING to do with the players; I look at it as them taking a bit of national pride in the country of their employment, as well as infusing that extra step for one or two of the Canadians in the line-up.

I actually don't have a problem with the spirit of the idea, and, thus, don't really want that to change (agree with you that it won't).. I just have different ideas about how it should be implemented, is all. The players often appear to be going through the motions, when you'd like to think hearing the anthem, no matter their nationality, would send chills down their spines; Bradley has said that it really gets them up for the match, but, judging from one or two of their performances, especially down the stretch, one wonders just how much of that is him patronising us (no pun intended).

Maybe, for many of the players new to the country, it's too much, too soon, to be hearing it every week.. whereas, were it to be only on select occasions they could point to, it'd last longer in memory, and really get them going, the next time 'round. This is why I thought that at the season's beginning and end—also perhaps for every playoff and/or cup game—they could reserve anthems for then; in moderation, I think it could really be something special, and as it should be.

That said, I can understand someone maybe preferring to build a tradition of singing it every time.. but, as said, it's just not for me, and for the reasons above; I'd personally love belting it out, as I'm sure many fans do, but to ensure it always means something to all involved, maybe finding a middle ground would make it special for the players, as well as only enhancing the effect on those of whom it never gets old for.

** * **

I wonder if there's ever been a thought to break out the national anthem during games—perhaps near the end (to space things out)—if only to engage the crowd with something surely familiar for all. Don't really follow the club, but I always admired the camaraderie shown by Liverpool supporters, to sing "YNWA" towards the conclusion of a match, win, lose or draw. If the anthem could be used to similar affect, then this more organic approach could blossom nicely, as away from how the club now instructs every one to raise their scarves.

it has happened.
one of the last home games this year the bunker belted it out.

That'd be a good idea. And no more maple leafs front and centre, it's really became cliche and I don't think it speaks to what the city is about - especially doesn't make sense when there's two other Canadian teams (who see no need to use that type of imagery).

i beg to differ, montreal use the fleur-de-lis, and vancouver use a bunch of diamonds.
i think if we can't incorporate the maple leaf tastefully then it's a wash, but i have no problem openly advertising that we're canadas team. even if their are two other canadian clubs in the league.

I am personaly not a fan of putting the Maple Leaf on team jerseys, Case in point the Calgary Flames withy the Canadian Flag on one arm and the Alberta flag on the other arm. Kind of Dumb if you ask me. Put the symbol of Toronto on that jersey, that symbolises Toronto.

I am personaly not a fan of putting the Maple Leaf on team jerseys, Case in point the Calgary Flames withy the Canadian Flag on one arm and the Alberta flag on the other arm. Kind of Dumb if you ask me. Put the symbol of Toronto on that jersey, that symbolises Toronto.

Absolutely. I am a Flames fan and I think that kind of faux patriotism is tacky. Why does Calgary need to show where its from via the flags? Do they not know where they are or do other teams not know where they are? Another question is: Who cares?

Having the maple leaf as a symbol (not a flag) on the jersey is a bit different and speaks more the culture of place and we DO live in maple territory. It's a nice image and I quite liked last season's jersey and would love to see that motif return. The Whitecaps diamond is a nice look and they've played it well and we could continue to do use the maple leaf in the same way. Still. to the point made earlier in the post, the maple leaf is more of a Canadian symbol than one that embodies Toronto so it's not necessary.

Red Bulls kits always look the same but this is the nicest of their usual haha! I like the use of more red in it.

The Red Bulls use of a consistent image has really made it a strong brand. It's a great look and I quite appreciate when clubs can maintain a good, consistent look over time and still keep modern. Few clubs can do that or try.

Wait for new TFC jersey is killing me. No one with insight even have a clue how or when TFC jersey will be out. Hopefully there will be an event for fans to showcase new kit for this year.

Speaking of symbols we could use, it seems like a bit of a stretch but when I first saw the II in TFC 2's logo, I thought of Princes' Gate. How about paying homage to Exhibition Grounds, which hosts our team, through use of Prince's or Dufferein Gate. Admittedly, most Torontonians might not instantly get the reference (which would be a significant problem) and non-Torontonians might mistake it for St Louis' monument (though Dufferin actually predates it) - but I'd personally love it and think you can use that feature in many different ways on a design.

CN Tower (or city skyline in general) or City Hall should be used as symbols to represent Toronto. It's what most people in the city can relate Toronto to in terms of symbol. Dufferein and Princes' Gate don't mean much these days to Torontonians. So it will be a waste to use those as symbol.

I don't disagree - like I said, most Torontonians have no clue what they are. That said, one of Philly's most popular jerseys commemorates a team that noone other than soccer nerds know, so it's not to say that that is a must. I guess one issue with CN Tower is that it looks exactly like the Seattle Needle - but maybe it shouldn't be about differentiation.

For TFC, the team's home kit would look decent copying either the new Sounders or Orlando City home templates.

Why would they hang up everybody else's jersey and our training top?

That does look horrid but the lack of a sponsor is just adding to its blandness.

Maybe because our jersey isn't made yet? TFC is holding back until they get shirt sponsor?

As mentioned above, it's simply not ready to hang up yet. They needed something so they put a training top up there.

I was just going to post this. I quite like it. The inverted chevron with light gren and white looks great. I'm kinda surprised they used the alternate TImbers crest, though. Anyway, the whole thing has a bit of a retro vibe going on and I like it.

Yeah, I'm digging the jersey. I like the inclusion of green trim, btw. But you're absolutely right about the crest. The Revs have one of the worst in MLS - if not THE worst.

What I just learned from this.. as I never even looked at the screen.. is that apparently someone in there totally didn't have any need of being there... they clearly didn't get to the posting of a picture.

The other thing I learned.. is people in MLS be social media dumb if they need someone to explain this to them.
