My Take On The Jerseys

[Elevan]

It'll be interesting to see how far we stray from the design of Man City's shirts.

 

[Elevan]

was fooling around and made this

and here's a more serious attempt

Etihad on the chest of a team belonging to a city with a large Jewish population.....

Please, explain why this is a problem.

 

[BxLio91]

Yea I'm also curious. Is it because it's Middle Eastern?

 

[NYCFC_ESQ]

Well, anecdotally, I know that Jewish people would have an issue wearing an Arab company on their chest. For me, I wouldn't mind. I could be completely out of the blue with this, but i'm just anticipating a potential issue.

I also want to point out how much I LOVE the Jetblue kits on page 1. Extremely well done.

Hopefully it's not the way you feel personally. If it is you may have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that this team is majority owned by a Middle-Eastern company. Not to mentiob Etihad being an official sponsor of MLS.

The general rule of Soccer is to leave your religion and politics at the door on your way in.

Isn't that kind of Xenophobe?

I think this is well said.

How does one leave soccer at the door of soccer?

I have to be honest I love the white on sky blue. It really pops.

I'm sorry, what?

I'm sorry, what?

I think he's trying to say soccer is religion. Thus, he's saying you cannot leave religion (soccer) at the door.

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

I don't think we should look past the fact that Adidas will be making these kits. I doubt they will look like a MCFC replica due to the fact they would want to separate themselves as a brand. I could go for the pinstripes look

 

[Falastur]

Possibly true. It's worth remembering, though, that kit suppliers have to design kits according to a brief by the club, and the club has to approve the design before they can begin manufacturing.

Unless Adidas is wholly uninterested in ever being the kit maker for the blue side of Manchester, I don't think they'll be blowing off NYCFC's kit designs. More than likely that they'll use the opportunity to work with and develop relationships with the NYCFC/CFG people

The force is strong with this one

I seriously doubt MCFC will concern themselves with the attention attended to NYCFC's kit design. If Adidas wish to develop a relationship will be based solely on $s.

Maybe Nissan will be on the jerseys.
