I hope they aren't used again - they were too shiny and looked glittery on TV.
What I'd like to see is a group of Apparel Manufacturers all working with the League (Adidas, Nike, Puma, Kappa, Umbro, etc). There would be a minimum sponsorship participation value they'd have to pay to MLS to take part in this. After that, each company would get a minimum of 3 clubs to outfit, and they'd bid on the teams they'd want to sponsor for 3 year periods - that way if NIKE thinks they'd crush sales with LAFC, then they bid it up as much as they feel confident doing - likewise if Umbro says they want NYCFC as their flagship, they do the same. Win the bid, get the team. The last few teams bid on would likely not have a high ceiling, which is why there's the initial participation buy-in to be a league sponsor, and therefore would still have a minimum threshold for sponsorship. This would reward the marketable teams and bring some real diversity (dare I say parity) to the league because even a small market can get a lottery winning marketing campaign/jersey design by an eager and creative company..... Adidas doesn't necessarily care much about their 20th team, but X/Y/Z company would definitely care about their 2nd and 3rd clubs.
The City is the center of the Galaxy and the Kosmos.... Teams' Crews will Quake & Burn at the Sound of our Dynamo attack that Fires on all cylinders and is a Union of Vieira's ideas. It will be a United Revolution that Impacts beyond the confines of the league - All will Rapidly know how Real we are and that we take no Bull. It would be Sporting to say the Tree Falls Hard when cutting down Timber.But are we also the center of the COSMOS?!
