Ian likes it. I like the lettering/numbering font design seeing it clearly in his shots, though I agree the white on light blue might be hard to see.
interview with design head: "we were inspired by the steam stacks you see all around the city. the parking tickets on cars that have not been moved for alt side parking.... orange and white. that's NYC... "
Yeah I think the kit is nice. The collar could look weird, but it's a nice clean jersey - I like the white numbers too, although yes, they'll probably be very hard to read on TV.
I also think if they'd just owned it and deliberately marketed it as a 2015 throwback kit it would have been a) hilarious/ridiculous and b) probably received better by people who find it uninspired.

To be fair, is there anything NYCFC-related that Ian doesn't like?
Going back to this tweet where the club teased the jersey reveal."Hearkening back to our inaugural 2015 Home Kit" Ah yes, 2015. The times of Lampardgate, Beaniegate, being swept by New Jersey, missing the playoffs...
In the past there's been something on the bottom left of the kit (atthe bottom, underneath the side of the NYCFC crest). Nothing this year.
The only navy in the kit is the sponsor, NYCFC crest, MLS crest, and NYC flag on the back.
And I agree with others, not only will the numbers be hard to read on the TV, but I think that referees will need to be checking players numbers more often when we're cautioned. (And the color difference between these two photos is staggering).
So.....our heart is the MLS shield?
I thought about that. He works for the team, even if indirectly, and can only go so far (an adjustment the Cooligans have had to make), but he's pretty honest and sometimes harsh in his in-game assessments of team play.
No, it's actually AT&T
they forgot to put the MLS shield on for Ian's jersey. tsk tsk. you'd think they would have decked him out with a full kit...
It's boring and fine. I find the nearly pathological need to explain how components of the shirt relate to NYC, when they clearly don't, odd. I also find it humorous how people keep forgetting that Ian Joy is a paid employee of the Club and to take what he says with a grain of salt. Finally, I also find the obsession over the NYC flag, which I would guess 95% of NYers could not identify unaided, a little weird.
Wait you're telling me that's not the french flag?It's boring and fine. I find the nearly pathological need to explain how components of the shirt relate to NYC, when they clearly don't, odd.

(...however if you showed people it was the NYC flag, they'd be like "ohhhh that's why all of our teams are blue and orange")

i guess im part of the 5%, seeing that flag next to the state flag ( both under the american flag) every day going to school or seeing them in parks here and there.
EDIT: i think people want the orange as well so the kit doesnt look too man city lite.

The purpose of the progression on that loop evades me, but seeing the full kit, I like it. I've mostly always hated the subtext and false messaging that surrounds our kits more than the kits themselves.
i just feel bad for keaton never getting to transition into the new kit. out with the old... guess keaton is out. lol.
Will be easy to see in the stadium...
