Virtual Box
Remember when they sold excess first year boxes for $10 in the stadium store? Good times.
Those weren't season ticket holder boxes. Those were boxes from the first home game that a scarf and some other things in it as part of a deal for $45 or $55 dollars.
But still, I remember posting them sold it to put your hopes and dreams for the club in there...
I think this is less 2017 jersey and more 2017 everything else the team is going to sell from hats to jackets and pants. Does anyone have a leak of the adidas catalog like there was in 2016?
We have two full weeks before our match in Ecuador (first preseason match) and two full weeks before our first match of the regular season. You have to think the club will be traveling somewhere and like to add another game or two for preseason.
They've got another game in Arizona on 2/25, but the opponent isn't known yet. I am actually going to be out there from 2/19 to 2/25, and I'm really hoping there is something else midweek as my travel plans miss the games.
He's the kitman, not the marketing guy. I read it as much more of a "next time I turn up for work, there's going to be a whole load of different training tops to fold up" kind of thing. Same as if, say, you were to move desks just before going on holiday for Christmas and tweet "new year, new office".
I mean, there's definitely going to be new merch at some point. I just don't think that the kit guy is going to be the one the club would pick to cryptically build hype for an imminent announcement.
Or ...
Has he been hinting at our next DP signing for weeks and we have just been too blind to see?
Those cheeky bastards!

Good stuff, wonder if that means we'll have the full schedule before 01/08
Flores coming back to MLS. Crew are the top option, it seems. I don't know that he could or would play for us right away, but he's semi-interesting, at least.
Saw it somewhere that it was a 3 year deal already done (destination tbd). Definitely semi-interesting.
I think somewhere someone posted that the full schedule will be released on the same day as the SuperDraft, the 13th.
He's on the allocation so right now it looks like the ball is in Minnesota's court. Atlanta has the number one slot but they are probably using it on Guzan.
I don't see MN using their spot to take a flyer on a kid when they have so many holes.
