I don't know, the stripes are in a place that don't interfere much with the rest of the jersey. Any good designer can integrate the stripes into the shirt design and make it look cohesive.
New Man City Kit Revealed. A Sign Of Things To Come ?

yeah, MLS strikes a deal with the manufacturer on behalf of the clubs. They signed a 200M deal in 2010 for 8 years. I think the bargaining power is greater with all of the clubs together. Most leagues now in the US are under one provider. Adidas has MLS and NBA, Nike has NFL, NHL is Reebok (?). Adidas also handles a lot of the other apparel, including tshirts and the like.
This is why the merchandise for NYCFC has been somewhat lacking. Adidas absolutely sucks at other merchandise and their designs are few and uninspired. the Pelicans, an NBA team suffers the same fate.
which is also part of what I dislike about Adidas. Nike continually pumps out new designs for NFL apparel while Adidas apparently can't be bothered to anything more than slap a big logo on a shirt.
Kits are something that will always generate disagreement among fans. Some people love the 3 stripes of Adidas, others hate it. Some people love the simplicity of Nike's designs, others hate it. An example is Mexico's current kits. Some people love them because they are so unique and eye catching. Others think they are hideous. These companies (Nike, Adidas, Puma, Umbro, Joma, Macron, etc.) just cannot please everyone and they need to have some defining feature to make themselves stand out (like the 3 stripes of Adidas). As for similarities among kits (Tottenham/France for example), there are so many teams around the world that there are bound to be similarities, especially with teams in this particular sport getting new kits every season.
As a huge Real Madrid fan, I'll weigh in on the pink away kits: I wish Real Madrid would stick to their traditional away colors such as blue/black/purple, but the club's board wants to generate as many shirt sales as possible by radically changing the kits and colors every season. I'm not against the color pink just because it's pink though.

I agree with you that teams should have a set series of away kits, but it appears that teams are now going in the direction of free for alls on the away kits. It's annoying, because I think there's plenty of room to be inventive in the third kit that many teams now have which can also generate sales. But so it goes.
And my objection is not "it's pink" to the RM aways; it's the shade of pink they chose as well as the lack of other design elements to compliment it. It's just an eye sore to me. If the adidas shoulder stripes had been something other than white, I think they could have pulled it off.
decent point but if you look at the melbourne uniforms, they kept their historic red stripes but the away is the exact replica of MC third kit, looks like CFB likes consistency throughout the group
agreed, look at the villa shirt they came out with, sky blue, home will be 100% sky blue. Will also be similar to MCFC, which is not a big deal, we are too caught up with this little brother complex. The teams are part of a group, their WILL be consistency throughout the group
Plus the cherry on top is that (for the first time ever) Real Madrid is changing the colors of the badge to match the colors of the away kit... so a pink badge. That (changing the colors of the badge to ANY new color) is shameful in my opinion.

Edit: Replied to the wrong damn post originally. Fixed now.
I agree with your guess on the kit, but I think you just described SKC's home kit.
Well, I just looked and they have a random blue sleeve. So maybe we're getting their training jerseys? Yay. I can hardly wait. In any event, I'm sure Adidas will do a bang up job of making it distinctive. Just as sure as I am that the US will win the 2018 World Cup.

I'm not a fan of Adidas. Does EVERY jersey need the three stripes down the shoulders and arms?
can't they find new ways to display the 3 stripes, 3 bars or trefoil?

I think you have there kits the wrong way round the second kit is the traditional Heart one
I knew I recognized our new shirt from somewhere! If that is not the template that was used it is very close.
Another argument for Nike's laziness. Although, others have made a good argument for the same with Adidas.
