Four goals surrendered, three points dropped, two good men down, one eyesore kit to blame.
Alex Ferguson knew when he had a shit kit and banished it instantly when it didn't work. This one clearly doesn't work.
Time get red and get right.
One and done for them horrible heritage kits

RED PATCH BOYS
It was definitely the kits.
The fans were a sea of expensive adidas red, singing about being the reds, in our red stadium.
The home team looked like visitors, in lame white with blue shorts.
Why does marketing PERSISTENTLY stick their middle finger right up at the fans and say "FUCK YOU TORONTO SUPPORTERS. WE DO WHAT WE LIKE!"
I am personally insulted by these out of touch, money grubbing, asshats in FO and marketing. fuck OFF!
Close this thread. What a stupid reason to blame for our loss.
Of course, we are convinced that is the reason.
Dude, the loss is irrelevant. This fucking kit would be a slap in the face to the fans even if we won.
In this case, the end justifies the means. The kits are a curseand we should get rid of them
.
I want to agree that the blue shorts are the root of all evil, but! damn it, I think we drew in New England wearing the awful things.
I'd rather have all this in here than it bleed elsewhere.
I didn't like seeing the blue at home either but I'll leave jinxes and curses up to whoever heeds them.

I think its not a good uniform look - I prefer the red shorts with it.
Curse? Nah....
It's a nice shirt. Fuck blue shorts, don't know why they wouldn't wear red shorts at home at least. They did show it with red shorts during the reveal, so wtf.
Regardless, we lost cause we played wretched D and they capitalized on just about every chance we gave up. Not cause of our shirt color lolol.
While all the time you dance around
And things get stuck and we're to blame
And I couldn't think political blue
When all is said and all is done

Red kit and jozy does not miss that penalty.
Wow you guys are so serious.
But yes lets sack that shitty shirt too. We are the reds!
This is another marketing test with the fans as reactionary guinea pigs. If there is no serious objection, they will eventually change our colours either to make us sync with the Argos or to more clearly reflect the BMO brand. (probably both)
Every thing they do to denigrate the established brand is such a test.
I don't mind having blue in the alternative kits. Blue is the traditional colour of Toronto sports teams. That said, I agree that home kits should be worn at home. Alternative kits can be used away when the main away kit conflicts with the other team's colours.
Looking at the two kits on the pitch last night, one club exhibited culture, the one that took the points.
Look at how well the Whitecaps image is crafted. That club crest is one of the best in sports - clean, simple, meaningful. The playing kit shows great creativity in creating a garment symbolic of Vancouver and its environment.
Look at TFC's crest and ask yourself: What the fuck does that represent? A crude red shield and banner with grey T. Yeah, Toronto the Grey, city of bankers. Honestly, it's an absolutely meaningless crest when it comes to telling us something about Toronto. Or maybe that's what the message was meant to be.
The playing kit last night looked like a bad grade 2 art project, someone cutting and pasting pieces of coloured construction paper.
And heritage? Here's how much care and concern the club had for heritage. Just before the game, Danny Dichio is standing amidst the sideline flea circus waiting to be presented with some sort of meaningful bauble. The grounds crewman turns on a midfield water sprinkler and the spray douses Danny and his family. Said a lot about attention to detail right there.

Manchester United have a blue away kit. Arsenal have blue in their away kit. Liverpool had purple in their's not long ago.
Don't see those colours influencing their stadium environments. It shouldn't be a divisive issue within ours either. Home field should be a proper statement about a club and its culture. Ours, apparently, is a place where marketing experiments take priority over culture.
I love this thread. It's just perfect.
The problem is blue is worn by our most hated rivals. A line of blue, fine. Blue shorts? We'll be hearing it from Impact fans for years to come.
White shirt with white shorts would be ideal not blue or red shorts, but yes I agree all home games TFC should be wearing their home kit (red shirt/red shorts).
Wait didn't our opposition last night wear blue? Isn't that the first problem? And I doubt many Montreal fans will pick the shorts as a main focus of derision.

The best.

OK this is actually interesting.
ER is of course right about the triumph of the almighty buck over tradition. That's always what stuff like this is about. I personally, kind of like the Blizzard homage. Plus, I can find examples of seriously crazy shirts worn by bigger teams named for colours

Question is, does it affect the players themselves? I don't know, but there may be something to that. The science around the subliminal impact of uniforms is mostly focused on school uniforms, and is inconclusive, but we all know that armies don't have alternate kits, that is for sure.

Blizzard and Metros-Crotia.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
Didn't know that. Makes sense.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Such a good band!
Like the new kit but like to see red a t home.
Indeed. But around the MLSE offices, the lyrics may well be changed to 'my hands that work with a fire and steal.'
Here's a link to an article about the Man U kit - voted their worst of all time - that Ferguson banished. If only Vanney had such clout:

A shade of Grise Gauche with commercial chest band. We're showing the potential to have these sort of fashion nightmares.
