I hate it when they make the crest monocoloured. It seems disrespectful somehow. And it looks worse.
And I totally see a lawn chair.
I think it is OK except for making the championship star almost invisible.
Looks more like a training shirt than a game day jersey.
Jersey is a disappointment. Can't say I'm surprised though Adidas has gotten lazy as all fuck.
I don't mind the jersey. Just glad they got rid of the blue.
You know, this design may be exactly what they were aiming for. Tbh, when I first saw the design, I thought of the Adidas stripes on their shoes. I know it's three stripes, but I subconsciously think of Adidas every time I look at this. It's superb subliminal advertising.
My opinion is usually the opposite of this board when it comes to kits; I think this new shirt looks sexy!
I dont hate the new jersey but I am of the vintage that grew up with the three stripes over the shoulder on Adidas jerseys. And the pattern doesnt scream deck chair to me, it's them recycling Messi's signature boots from a few years back

I like the shoulder but don't like the two tone - the grey accents on the current away kit are really nice. The deckchair part might be fun on - not sure - although would prefer a white on white of the maple leaf like the red jersey of a few years ago. And agree with comments about the star. Come on! Silver on white???? - and the crest.
I'm keeping my current away white jersey with the gold star. And the grey accents. Looks good. This one doesn't have enough to be more interesting, for me.
Maybe we are all too pessimistic, lol

touch of the Liverpool 91-92 look about it
Our jersey is at least only boring. We could have had some disasterous one like the Dynamo or RSL.
Still better than the last few away jerseys imo. The monochrome badge is the worst thing about it.
So far the leaks have looked pretty good, especially compared to the last couple of seasons. Far more interesting designs than just plain solid coloured t-shirts that cost $150.
I like crazy, wacky designs in kits. Subtle is boring. Our 2014 combo is still the best we ever had.
Courtside seats and jumbotron shoutout for Pozuelo today at the Raptors game.
Has anyone else listened to the podcast series called "25 Stories that Made MLS". There's currently 13 episodes posted. The most recent one focuses on TFC. I've only made it to episode 6 so far buy I'm really enjoying them. Some of the history I'd heard reference to but it's been great to get the details. I think it's worth a listen.
(Sorry, I can't post a link. I'm just not that tech savvy.
Good mention, I've loved that podcast.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Not sure if this was mentioned earlier in this thread but saw there was some discussion about our new away jersey coming out soon. Here is a link to a site showing all the other MLS ones as well including the TFC kit.

So I take it all of our preseason games are closed door games? I used to enjoy the streaming of the preseason games from the various preseason tourneys back in the day. Used to be a nice primer leading up to the season. Maybe the clubs we are facing are going to be streaming.....likely not though.
And are they going to have a media day before they head to California?
