2020 NYCFC Kit Thread

[FredMertz]

as much as i love how pigeons are kinda our nickname, piegons aren't really a NYC exclusive thing by any means.

i think the empire state building, statue of liberty, etc are more NYC. would have been nice to see lady liberty incorporated somehow.

Before you joined the forum I used to get very annoyed at the pigeon thing and say the exact thing you just wrote! Every major city has pigeons.

By itself, it’s not horrible, just a head scratcher to the random claw marks. But as a group dumped on the league, it’s like a bad rendition of the myriad of stormtroopers that have minor changes in their armor.

What kind of stormtrooper is the guy on the bottom left?

Alleged replica (FB user may be able to confirm).

I am ok with the shoulders. I like the navy blue. The body of the kit is terrible.

Footy Headlines has a better look at the kit

I'm sure it'll look better on the field but I wish they had just gone with a solid blue color on the front. The pattern ruins it for me.

I really like the colors of the authentic - but don’t like the collar, the broken brick design, or the bear claw. The best thing going for it is that it could be much worse. That all may lead to my first pass.

Never forget........ but at least it was a long sleeve.......

How dare you... Hypnokit forever.

What would scream NYC to you, out of interest?

Pinstripes? Lady Liberty? Arbitrarily making the jersey 25% more expensive than the rest of the country?

Mispelled Etihad in graffiti would do it for me
I'm liking this version much better than the real thing

 

[Shwafta]

idk, I like it. Just wish it had some dark orange somewhere other than the back

Heard it's about the cables on the BK Bridge. I hate wanky design justifications. If you need to explain it in words you didn't do enough.

Every city has skyscrapers, graffiti, hip hop, bagels and pizza too.

I skulled a bottle of haterade and put together a thread because I was feeling sassy

Talking about soccer tactics and Andrew Yang is OK but much like the watermark on these leaked images, I'm all about kit. And frequently accused of taking kit aesthetic way too seriously.

As such here's a thread that nobody asked for on the leaked #MLS 2020 kit...

Yes but NYC has iconic skyscrapers that scream NYC. I like the statue of liberty.. wish they would incorporate that more.

Yeah that's kinda my point. Every city has pigeons but we are known for it. Languages and symbolic systems spread and mutate for non-rational reasons. Reason is just one of many cognitive competencies.
