I went down all the way from upstate and frankly I was upset cause it was. They didn't even have jerseys pre customized or a machine there you could buy a plain jersey, and maybe 1 or 2 t shirts. no scarves, hats, etc. disappointing to say the leastOn a different thread we had a link to the live stream they ran of the Q&A session and it really wasn't much of anything.
Judging by a few posts on the teams official FB page it looks as if the event was another clusterf***.
Possibly the most telling statement from the event."As of a week from now we should have 16 players"
Dunn, Villa, Lamps, Brovsky, Saunders, KWS, Jacobson
So 9 not 10 picked up in the expansion draft?
They are not counting Lampard.
What do you all take on this article??

I liked Villa's remarks regarding understanding the project and the primary kit. I agree - either you get it - or you don't. Villa strikes me as someone who doesn't have an inferiority complex about our relations to MC and neither do I and I am thankful for them bringing association football to the five boroughs. All the talk about Man City Jr. and Chivas can only bother you if you're small enough to let it. I'm sure we will put together a legit squad and have all we need to contend and probably be the best pro New York team.
In other Modells news, I went to Modells near City Hall and they had not a single NYCFC item. I'm wondering if it is only at select Modells until closer to the season - or if stuff is rolling out slowly.
