Style is subjective but the "hypnokit" is fire. Urban as an idea and urban as an experience are different.

He doesn't use that shower curtain often.
Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it.
Just periodically.
if it's gonna be navy and orange, then gimmie hoops! like the stripes of this flag:
You know, I'd really just enjoy our current primary kit inverted. So the dark blue on the stripes becomes the blue of the body and the sky blue on the body becomes the blue on the stripes.
We had those. They were the Earth Day Parley Ocean Plastic Grey Jerseys.
I would love it if the designer somehow sneaks in a peeping Lampard as a hidden shout out to the forums.
Adidas is feeling nostalgic this year with all the retro-inspired world cup kits which look pretty good so far. So why not go with a faux retro style for NYC and throw it back to the original Open Cup winners Brooklyn Field Club. City football heritage and we can get some more use out of the alternate logo and keep the jersey clean and simple?
I would totally support an orange jersey. I have a flaming orange (with some black and yellow) Man City jersey that I really love. Not a huge fan of the matching shorts though.
Change the black and yellow to our sky blue and navy and I'd buy one instantly.

I sincerely dislike faux-retro. The kits they are imitating were most likely trying to be cutting edge at the time so it feels like we are violating the spirit of their conception. It also lacks creativity.
I do like iconic, though - IMO faux-retro is a missed opportunity to create an artefact of the times we live in. Decades from now, they will look back at these kits and say "dang, kit designers in 2017 must have been super lame". Is that all we have to say for ourselves?
Sorry for the rant.

Agreed. Just seems lazy to me as well. You had a chance at an event that a majority of the world gets entranced with for nearly a month, and you're just using a monochromatic version of a kit worn in 1990 (in Germany's case). Try something crazy or slightly altered. Or, just keep it clean and simple. Just don't recycle something in a half ass way.
However, I'm still a sucker and will be getting the German kit. Auf Gehts.
well according to this they did wear blue,

OR the NY Skyliners, they even played in the old yanke stadium, although in reality it was was Cerro from Uruguay

Now I'm pissed we missed out on a reboot of the USMNT denim kits.
