2016 Away Jersey (no longer speculation thread)

[David_Oliveira]

Been quite slow on the boards lately and it seems every thread that is started turns into an Argos related shit show.

So, in the spirit of getting us talking tfc, who's got info on the new away jersey?

I think they'll go light grey (think year one) for nostalgia's sake. It is the 10 year anniversary.

[portu]

I want a plain black jersey with red accents, think it could come off really well

[PopePouri]

I thought that knocked it out of the park with the last one.

You really can't go wrong with black and red but it'd look too much like DC United's strips imo. There probably won't be any big surprises... onyx, grey or white most likely.

[OgtheDim]

Onyx with a red diagonal stripe.

[Mateo1985]

I always liked the AC Milan and now Atlanta Unitd design of jerseys. Red and Black with vertical stripes. Could be awesome

[Detroit_TFC]

Onyx with a red diagonal stripe.

That would be bad ass. Might be too creative for the adidas intern who spends ten minutes designing the new shirts for the season.

River Plate have a nice 3rd jersey

^ I like those! For a 10th season alternate, I like the idea of going back to a light grey that the OP suggested. I'm assuming along the lines of our first practice top? That would work well, and look pretty cool lined up with our red and onyx kits.

I was thinking the light grey from the away jersey.

I was thinking the light grey from this jersey.

We used it in 2006 and 2007.

[Cashcleaner]

^ For some reason, I had completely forgotten the first away tops were also grey. I don't know why I only thought of the grey practise top.

In case anyone is interested; here's our home, away, and alternate shirts from the past:

[Mateo1985]

Really like the 2011-12 home kit.

[TFC Tifoso]

I can relate a player/memory with every year's jersey except for the 2013 "Mariner" year with Professor No-pants......just terrible.....I own either a home or away from each year, and that was the only year of TFC's existence that I had no name on the back of my shirt.....
07-08 - Dichio, Robbo
09 - DeRo red
10 - DeRo white
11 - Frings red
12 - Frings white
13 - blank
14 - Bradley
15 - Giovinco

For this year's away jersey, onyx with a red sash (diagonal stripe) as others mentioned would look great imo......and they should make a 3rd just for this year....grey throwback to Season 1.....

[Mateo1985]

Bring back the pink jersey!!! :flare:

i was kinda hoping the impact would've gone with blue and pink when they came into the league, but fuck that.
why change it up when you could have a white away kit like 80% of the league?

http://images.ar.netshoes.net/ar/produtos/61/002-0871-061/002-0871-061_detalhe1.jpg

yes please. the other one, not so much. sashes are the galaxies thing.

[TheGoodson]

Actually by the picture above showing the evolution of TFC jersey's the away jersey is not going to change this season, but the home jersey is going to change.... Adidas in North America goes on a two season cycle for jerseys unlike everywhere else in the world where they change annually.

[__wowza]

on that note, let me again rant on brand recognition. the league sorely lacks it.

5 of the leagues 20 teams have red as their primary colour.
6 of the leagues 20 teams have blue as their primary colour.
2 teams have colours not being used elsewhere in the league (houston and orlando).

if you were to look at unmarked kits, the only ones that would be easily identifiable by traits are the galaxy sash, the seattle green, the orlando purple and the philly whateverthefuckthatthingisithinkitsevilajax. chivas used to have the stripes, dallas used to have the hoops. all i want is some sort of consistency in kits that can build some sort of recognition. you know when you're looking at an aston villa, arsenal, newcastle, sunderland, etc. kit because they're all made variations of the same idea.

although i wasn't a fan of it, even this had something going for it in terms of a serviceable aesthetic:
http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5098/5544392376_8d9ef0e69d.jpg

it was something you could build on. something you could have around for a few seasons and then make a variation to and have them sold the next. instead they completely switched it up because the league feels it needs to. for those of you who say "well, they're making them different enough to sell jersey's every season", allow me to show you a variation of one of the best selling jersey's in the world:

http://www.usasoccermart.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/1/3/13-14_real_madrid_home_jersey_3.jpghttp://www.footballkitnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/New-Real-Madrid-Home-Kit-2014-15.jpg

and before you run off saying that it's an unfair comparison to make, first explain how a shirt can sell so well one season, and sell just as well the next when the only modifications to it are the collar and the cuffs. i know we don't have the brand recognition of real madrid, i'm not even going to pretend for the arguments sake that we do, but consistency can still sell!! /rant.

its the other way around.....going on the usual 2 year cycle, away should change this year and home no.....we've had the onyx for 2 years now.....the graphic is missing 2015 season.....

yes it will. the two year cycle runs on alternating years for us. away one year, home the next. the black kit's been around since defoe signed last year, and through this year as well, meaning this season we're due for a new away kit (followed by a new home kit next season). personally i think it's a smart business strategy and i don't know why more teams don't adopt it. you're always giving fans something new to buy, and if it flops you've got a season to give them something else.

it's an easy mistake to make. i forget what year it was but MLS stepped in and mandated when clubs were allowed to switch their kits sometime in the past decade. timelines like the one posted there are all mucked up for teams across the league.

[SuperTCP]

I agree with consistency, but only for the Home jersey. For the away any color could be considered.

For Example some of the past away jerseys for the following teams: from the past few years:

Juventus: Blue, Yellow, Green, and now Pink
Real Madrid: Grey, Navy, Black with dragon, yellow
Barcelona: Yellow Highlighter, Orange Highlighter
Napoli: Yellow, Camouflage, Denim, Red

I really enjoyed the Onyx one. I would love to see one similar to the Black/Red River Plate one above OR if they went with a totally different color (for example the same blue in Toronto's flag).

(Note: For National teams consistency for both home and away is my preference)

[OgtheDim]

I wouldn't mind seeing that Eagle on our 3rd uniform somewhere. Make it like the maple leaf was a few years ago, as the sweat stain.

It's really too bad that third kits aren't allowed by MLS anymore. Would have been a good opportunity to gauge reactions to some of the more "experimental" colours/patterns. I doubt TFC/Adidas will do anything risky... probably back to the ol' grey or white.

Would be fun to see something crazy though, like the infamous Liverpool third kits from a couple years back.

Eh, I'd disagree, there's been some great ones in the MLS (Portland, LA, Colorado, Seattle and Chicago come to mind). I think it's just because most people that are going to buy a third kit are likely to buy a 1st or 2nd kit in the absence of one anyways so it makes sense financially for Adidas.

I'm like me a collar, which is why I ended up taking on the coach top towards the latter part of the season last year - but whatever

Maybe not Adidas's thing, might be more a Nike vibe, but they could get a best of both worlds thing with a fade. Gradient/fade between onyx and red or whatever...maybe on an angle like the River Plate. Point is should take advantage of the sublimation technologies out there

Gradient top would be nice but like you said, Nike had a template top like that just a few years ago so not sure if Adidas would be willing to do anything similar. Also, a red to onyx gradient I think would clash too much with the red home kits so it'd have to be some other colours like white to onyx imo.

The Eagle would be Epic. Cool if they could incorporate it into the jersey like Real Madrid did the dragon blended in or Torino with their bull using names. Maybe they could use supporters names, current players, or all past players from past 10 years of the club (they have enough to fill the jersey).

Ya, I was itching for one for a long time, until I saw the pink second year one on ebay. One of my favourite jerseys in my collection, though would like to have the second one that came out too. Kicking myself that I didn't pick one up when they were available for 25 bucks at SVP years ago

I do believe that will be our next logo. I think they will keep the ribbon and put "All for One" or maybe "Est: 2006" or perhaps use roman numerals (MMVI). Something along those lines. It wouldn't bother me that much. I do like our current logo, but the Academy crest is very sharp and very unique. Hopefully, any change will be many years down the line, though. I hate when clubs are constantly reworking their identity.

I would love to see that as our new logo! maybe it is just me but I would also love to have the dark grey with red accents as our home shirts instead of the red. IMO there are way too many clubs with red, it is nice to see something new and how many teams have the dark grey as their number 1 kit? not too many, it would be much more original.

[ManUtd4ever]

The Academy Logo is definitely far better than our current logo. I hope the big club adopts it as a permanent badge.

I am a fan on minimalism and would actually love if we got rid of everything on our badge except for the T. Sort of like the bracelet thing that came with the 2014 SSH package: http://vocalminority.ca/wp-content/uploads/T-close-up.png

Something like maybe this unused alternate:

http://content.sportslogos.net/logos/9/1249/full/ui5bfgclam6h4cjsg4nqq9e7a.gif

Or perhaps something even more minimalist like this:

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0314/3545/products/mls_web_minimal_logos_torontofc_large.jpg?v=141027 3517

I typically like the minimalist approach when it comes to kits and jerseys, but my preferences for crests vary. Some can be fairly complex but still effective in my mind. Others are incredible simple but are more powerful because of it. Out of all the current crests in use, it'd be hard for me to rank them, but LAFC, NYCFC, and Philly are toward the top of the list and that's a mixed bag of simplicity and complexity. Same goes for my bottom picks; RSL, NER, and CCSC.

Because neither the words "football" nor "club' are in the full name for our senior team. The "fc" in our name technically doesn't stand for anything.

I think that changed because TFC now use football club at times. Recently the tfc website had the words Toronto Football Club as its wallpaper.

Are all MLS kits going to adopt the new Adidas design or will some still feature the striping on the shoulders?

I'm not a fan of the new look.

What? The Gilberto memories or the fact that if a supporter doesn't have a 6 pack, they'll look like they have a gigantic strawberry pillow strapped to their waist?

ha ha. The latter. That's a shite jersey.

[SuperTCP]

From the video/photos of TFC Training session today, they are wearing a light grey jersey with stripes down the torso. No stripes on the shoulders.
May just be the training top. But I have feeling the new 2nd kit will have the stripes down the torso as well.

[JuliquE]

Love the Academy badge, as is—very reminiscent of that for Die Mannschaft.

If I'm being picky, I don't like having the various bordering rings the same colour as the text/image(s) they border.

This minor tweak, for me, has a better balance to it, with the added bonus of the red remaining dominant, without coming off as forced; also thought the "T" should stand out a bit more (original on the right, for comparison):

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y126/JuliquE/TFCA3.png http://i.imgur.com/BhwZbNb.png



Also makes for a much stronger thumbnail-size picture, as well as how it appears at a distance (on the kits), due to the onyx:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y126/JuliquE/TFCA3a.png http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y126/JuliquE/TFCAa.png

As others have said, I'd not like to see our badge changed in the near future, but, especially if/once our academy grads really become a staple of the first team, I'd not mind moving towards something like this, marking 20/25 years.

See, people have been saying that for a decade now but I don't really get the reasoning behind it. You're right in that originally Toronto FC was simply the trademarked brand for the entity, but it's long since evolved. And with that in mind, shouldn't the organization itself be the arbiter of it's own name? If the team wants to call itself Toronto Football Club, what sort of argument could one use to make them stop or change it? TFC may be a franchise of Major League Soccer, but I don't see how that negates any name the team creates for itself.

[BelfastBoy]

I think in the olden days it was just assumed that, for example, Everton football club would have the name Everton FC or Sunderland association football club was Sunderland AFC. The name situation with TFC reminds me a bit of RB Leipzig where the RB is supposed to be Red Bull but officially stands for RasenBallsport.

Well part of it is we're not actually a "club" in the european sporting sense of the word. That involves a particular type of either fan engagement with the running of the club or fan ownership in general, along with the club being an entity by itself, and not one of twenty teams owned by a league and therefore under it's thumb. At the end of the day, we are a franchise and the League can do what they want with us. Being that we're not actually a club in the traditional sense of the word, that would be the greatest argument against us using that name.

I wish it wasn't the case. The idea of franchises makes me kind of sick.

Maybe not Adidas's thing, might be more a Nike vibe, but they could get a best of both worlds thing with a fade. Gradient/fade between onyx and red or whatever...maybe on an angle like the River Plate. Point is should take advantage of the sublimation technologies out there

How about a fade from grey to onyx?

I have heard that we might be going back to the white kit but also heard that a new color may be introduced. Now not sure if the color will feature in the white jersey, or if it will be the whole jersey.

I am not overly happy about the new color choice (given this years circumstances with sharing of BMO field). The color is featured in the Season 10 logos, leading me to believe that this rumor has some weight to it.

[Mateo1985]

I always like Fiorentina's Purle color. Wouldn't mind it as our third kit color.

So obviously it's blue. The tie in to the Toronto flag is nice but the association to the Argos and the impact is a little rough.

Could be cool so we'll see.

[bimmer]

God I really hope it's not blue. There's enough reds and blues in the league already, we'd basically have the most boring colour schemes in the league, nevermind the associations with the argos/impact/caps.

White, red and blue all together is not a bad look but it would be too similar to USA/Revs colours. Imo, either keep it simple with white/onyx/red or go experimental with yellow/red, teal/white, etc. (basically copy Liverpool lol)

[David_Oliveira]

Anyone else noticing the pattern with the release of the new jerseys? One day a mock up is leaked and the next day they officially release the jersey. Then a day or two later the next jersey is leaked. A couple days ago it was Vancouver. Today it's Phili. I figure Toronto's will get "leaked" when the team gets back from California. This way the team will be conveniently home to officially release the jersey.

My guess is the leak/release is being held up by our lack of sponsor. Nobody wants to order a shirt without seeing what the sponsor on it is going to be and sponsors probably want their logo on there for the big release.

A giant T like that is super fugly imo. If they're going to incorporate one, it should be subtle and/or small, not a huge treasure trail/arrow to the peen.

In the first 3 seasons it was identical to the 1st jersey in every way, except it was light grey. Dull.

Incorporating blue into TFC colours isn't an easy task... too much and we tread into Montreal/Vancouver territory, an even amount as the red and it looks like the USA kit (yes, I know plenty of other professional/national teams use red/white/blue but in this particular context - ie. a Canadian team in a mostly USA based league, the irony isn't exactly subtle) and too little and it just looks out of place. Pretty curious as to how they mixed it in.

[Adamo23]

A third jersey would be nice as well.

[Adamo23]

We can rule out this as our new kit
http://www.mlsstore.com/Toronto_FC/Mens_Toronto_FC_adidas_Red_Primary_Training_Jersey

[Blindside16]

it is the away/alt jersey.
so it won't be mostly red.

we were told a hint that there is some blue.

in the one image, TFC was giving shout outs to old Toronto Clubs.

Adidas owns this jersey...

TFC, make it happen...swap the blizzard logo with the TFC crest.

http://content.sportslogos.net/logos/52/1390/full/y3ucfswiqyun3jke5dz8ewe4h.gif

I think this would be good as a 3rd jersey. I'm not sure how I feel about that much blue on a primary kit

[Alixir]

No to blue....boooo. :)

seriously, no blue.

Agree

[TheGoodson]

I know someone who deals with Adidas and orders TFC product, he advised that all he was told about the new away jersey is that it will be grey.

I hope this is true. I loved the recent Onyx jersery. Just don't let it be white again.

[ManUtd4ever]

Onyx is nice. I hope it's not the grey from the early years.

He advised me that what he saw was a rendering, so the version of grey is unknown i.e. whether it will be oynx or the light grey or somewhere in between

[khso11]

I'll bet it will be the grey on our new training top's sleeves.

[Blindside16]

I'll bet it will be the grey on our new training top's sleeves.
I don't mind that grey, I just hope they use it right because those training tops are a little hard to look at.

[Ultra & Proud]

It's probably just that boring red one with the onyx Adidas shoulder stripes that was on Twitter the other day. That was a replica so they'll toss a water mark on it and that'll be it I bet.

[JollyBenjabi]

Not sure if anyone ever posted this before, but if Adidas didn't re-sign for the Kit sponsorship in MLS, and Under Armour took over, here's how the jersey could look like!

[Cashcleaner]

^ I'm not sure how I feel about that design... It's a completely new look, that's for sure. I think I like the sections of dark and light onyx above the red.

Honestly, I don't know if I love it or hate it.

Great Caesar's Ghost, the new Columbus Crew shirt. The UN General Assembly needs to declare sanctions against it.

The new shirts are very hit or miss, this makes me quite frightened about what we may end up with.

worst kits in the history of the game.

.. can't believe these guys have to wear them. Those guys don't look to happy.

is this their primary kit?

[hulkrogan]

It looks like they are wearing shorts from a different kit. Hell, a different team.

[Deltron]

WTF! Those are brutal. why the blue shorts? it looks like it is totally out of place. at least ours can't be worse than that.

[ManUtd4ever]

LOL.

LOL at Kamara tucking his shirt in to put a cherry on top of this whole thing.

just....wow.

Horrible kit! That is one of the most awkward looking pictures I have seen come out of MLS in a long time.

The colours for the kit come from Columbus' municipal flag:

[Enterprise Captain]

There is no right or wrong here. I answered a question. The colours for the kit weren't chosen at random. Whether you like the kit or not is totally subjective. Personally, I find it hideous.

[zamperina]

Congrats Shitlumbus, you just peed all over yourself

[molenshtain]

Why is there a big boat on their city flag? Columbus is landlocked.

[Detroit_TFC]

If that was an all white kit, with red collar, yellow adidas stripes on the shirt and sky blue stripes on the shorts and socks, that would have been good enough. Streaky yellow? Someone's just having a laugh with that.

Defensive much? I was just echoing everyone's sentiment that it's ugly as fuck, no matter where they got the colour scheme from.

[RealG-TFC]

Why is there a big boat on their city flag? Columbus is landlocked.

Well given that the city is named after Christopher Columbus and there appears to be a cross of St. James on the sail I'd imagine it's depicting the Santa Maria, or another of Columbus's ships.

[bimmer]

I would assume because of Christopher Columbus?

What a terrible kit Columbus have. I pray ours isn't anywhere close to that train wreck.

[Mateo1985]

What a terrible kit Columbus have. I pray ours isn't anywhere close to that train wreck.

Same here. They made theirs after their state flag. I like the Ontario flag but I don't see it looking good on a jersey so hopefully they take a different path for selecting the design.

There are some rumors that our kit will have blue and the flag of Ontario has some blue... so fingers crossed on that one

It's the Columbus city flag, not Ohio's. If the rumours of blue in our kits are true it is likely based on the Toronto city flag, not Ontario's.

[CBTFC]

A good friend of mine is at the TFC media day today, and has confirmed that the new away kit is indeed a white shirt with red shorts

[Mateo1985]

oh that's not bad at all then. Absolutely love the Toronto's flag. The captain band is just awesome.

[denMAR]

They also put the city's seal on the inside of the crew kits.

Seriously, anti-Columbus bias aside, that has got to be the worst looking kit I've seen worn by anyone at anytime. Gah! A vertical yellow-white gradient?! It actually looks like someone pissed down the front of their shirts. And the red trim does NOT help matters either. And to top it off, they have powder blue shorts? Nothing here looks good. Nothing can be redeemed. I am shocked that this kit was given the go-ahead by the club's brass.

The kicker is that Columbus actually has a pretty good colour combination (Black, White, and Yellow) with which to work with and I've seen plenty of great shirt designs using those colours.

[TFC_Allez]

Columbus Piss-Stains SC. What a hideous jersey. Looks like the marketing team gave their kids a set of highlighters and a white jersey and let them have at it lol

[zamperina]

Cryptic tweet from Kurt Larson concerning TFC away jersey...

@KurtLarson...Coming shortly. All speculation. Kits more or less being released by the league.

[flamehawk]

A good friend of mine is at the TFC media day today, and has confirmed that the new away kit is indeed a white shirt with red shorts


I am tad worried that it will end up looking a lot like NYRB's. I hope they still incorporate onyx and grey a little. I am a weird one that actually liked our first couple grey away jerseys - thought it was pretty distinctive in the footballing world.

[JollyBenjabi]

Just saw this jersey, if Nike made the jersey's for MLS! This one I think looks slick (looks close to the same style of jersey they were wearing in Pre-Season Games)

[bimmer]

I would hope that they have some backup non-red shorts to go with the away shirt, whether it's white, onyx or blue. It'd be kind of weird for both kits to use red shorts especially since we don't have a third kit.

[Onyx]

especially when playing red bulls

[Wagner]

if the jersey was on display at the media day, you'd think someone would have taken a covert pic with their phone...
you'd think it would be out there somewhere.

Yeah... unless they took away everyone's phones it's inconceivable to me that a twitter pic wouldn't have popped up by now if they revealed them to the media. I don't buy the story personally.

Just noticed on the right side of the latest TFC Banner Ad featuring Bradley, there is a dark Oynx line with blue at bottom and then light grey. Could the new jersey feature these 3 colors?

i have no inside info.
but this seems to pull all the clues together.
where are our mock up makers? using Onyx, a little Toronto Flag Blue, and a little lite grey.

this wouldn't be bad.
mostly onyx with toronto blue and lite grey accents/piping/stripes/collar, etc.
