yes, but where?
That is sadly not the team shop. In 2015, NYCFC ran its own online store with the Yankees/Cowboys (i.e. Legends). That ended after our first season as MLS consolidated all the individual team stores into the single-entity MLS league store run by Fanatics. The apparel in the actual physical store at Yankee Stadium differs from what is here. You won't find goalkeepers jerseys, certain scarves, and other items online.
Oh, ok. Didn't know that.
It's a way to show your southern pride. Almost as patriotic as the ole red, white, and blue.
I'm neither a history expert nor a fashion expert but the camo thing is at least in part stemming from the the '60s and '70s and the Vietnam War. Returning soldiers and "regular" people would wear camo as memorials and at protests and marches. Others would wear it to identify with and show support for the war. It became a thing, and then people just kept on wearing it, and then their kids grew up and were just used to people wearing camo. Someone with further knowledge may come along and say, "oh, no, that started with Korea or WWII" but I'm not old enough to know that personally. I was a kid during Vietnam though, and everyone wore camo or olive drab/army green. Darn hippies.
And hey, let's not forget the duck hunters, although there's perhaps not so many in New York City. But who knows as it turns out I'm not a duck hunting expert either.
I'll second this, but also dissent. I remember this as well but not as to camo. Just the olive drab/army green. Same disclaimers. Not an expert, just Team 50.
Huh... who knew. Well that certainly makes more sense. Thanks for the factoid.
I have no reason not to believe this and it sounds completely reasonable, too bad nobody on the forums interns for the Devil wearing Prada because then we could really get an answer.
All I know is that green camo shorts works well with the black away jersey an I'm not quitting it.
I don't wear camo. I have worn it but when I did it was because I earned it.
I get what you're saying, and you probably didn't mean for it to sound like a dig, but everybody in the military wears camo & it isn't due to a factor of earning it, its standard issue as a field uniform. But if we apply those same standards, none of us should be wearing any team jersey or gear because we never played for the team & didn't earn it.
It's all clothing, and it's all fashionable to varying degrees, and there are appropriate and inappropriate times to wear each on a casual basis.
Holy reach, Batman. I don't wear camo because I don't like it. That's it.
You do realize swag isn't Dyslexic for wives and girlfriends, right?
So I'm a bit of a watch collector (read.... freak!) and added another TAG Heuer to the stable the other day. I picked up the new TAG Connected 45 smart watch. My first smart watch and I love it! Of course the first thing I downloaded onto the watch were the MLS team dials so here is what I will be wearing to the match tomorrow.......
