New Swag

I found you guys what I could :rolleyes:. There are only three things here I like myself, one is already on the way ;). Unfortunately Adidas America Designers, MLS, and NYCFC don't really get quality and they may not even care from what I see, cookie cutter crap again.

Side NOTE: Ironically New York City FC's Daniel Laroche just won MLS Equipment Manager of the Year :trophy:.

I'm assuming Laroche has nothing to do with choosing/okaying kit or apparel designs. I really could care less about practice uniforms being ironed or pressed, they probably just came right out of the box. To be honest who would want to do 30 guys sweaty dirty laundry every day? My concern is why do they look just like cheap hospital scrubs? That's on Adidas and NYCFC approving it.

Matt Wolf designed some previous just ok cliché NYCFC graphics and the cool hat that I requested, the Black Cap with the huge Sky Blue NYC Monogram hat I like - but monogram is STILL to big though. But he did design the killer logo for LAFC which is one the best logos I've seen in along time, now is working at Nike. And now Nike will take all the credit and the cash:moneybag:it brings in. Been there done that :moneywings:, lesson learned :mad:.

It's not ironic that he won. He does a great job all season long for the club. It's well deserved.
 
Ok so I'm going to be travelling around the West Coast over the summer and want to rep an NYCFC shirt on game days. I don't want to wear a jersey because they can get stuffy. Any good looking t shirts j can wear?

Laroche is just in charge of making sure each player has the right kits, socks, shorts, pants, jackets, or training tops that they want or prefer. He has nothing to do with design, just making sure the team has enough kits and equipment for each practice and game.

Example: Villa on game-days. Must've had a superstition about playing better in a long sleeve, so he'd start every game wearing a long sleeve kit, then switch to a short sleeve at HT due to 90 degree weather and humidity. Laroche is in charge of making sure he has both a Villa long sleeve and short sleeve ready for the game, as well as a backup in case of a shirt malfunction/tear.

Most importantly, Laroche has to stand there and let Villa douse him like a fire hydrant before every game.

Did anyone else notice that the training gear looks like it has been wadded up into a ball and then re-worn the next day? Some of the players look like they're practicing in a college kid's dirty laundry.

I'm assuming he and his staff does a good job, but I wouldn't know. I wouldn't want that gig. Hats off :clapping: to them and their staff.

Oregon Equipment All-Access :videocamera:
An amazing video :thumbsup:. Good thing all that money:moneybag:is going towards education :notebook:, LOL. Nike's turf :flagstick:!

The ONLY NY stuff was clean, but probably hard to find as it was super limited release. The Electric City stuff on the Third Rail's site is neat too, although less obviously NYCFC-related.

I just threw out a few due to wear and tear and replaced with the skeleton t-shirt and the t-shirt with the logo jumbled into the shape of NY State as I thought that they were pretty simple and clean and a bit different from the usual logo t-shirts. I also still sport the silky black on black polo that the players often wore last year as I think it looks nice live. It's all a matter of taste of course. This is coming from the guy who has/had a shirt with a huge bluebird on it (since hidden/discarded by wife and kid).

A word to the wise. Trying to rep your city, team is commendable when out and about. But when traveling it could be a bit sketchy, I speak from experience. My recommendation or alternative is just rep the team colors and rock a NYCFC cap if you want, so if you need to ditch it you can quickly - more low profile. Forget the Soccer rivalry BS thing, if you bump into the wrong people you could be in for a world of hurt, especially if you’re chilling solo. Not everyone likes New Yorkers. Man it’s up to you. Have a fun and safe trip wherever you’re off too.

Watch European pre and post match fans entering and exiting the stadiums, most people young and old do not wear their team jerseys or even colors for a reason, and if they do they make sure they have a jacket over it when coming and going. Man it’s up to you. Have a fun and safe trip wherever you’re off too.

Funny, I remember back in the day wearing a Yankees cap at an Atlanta Braves game in Georgia when I was just a kid, that didn’t go over too well down south.

The only NY stuff was fire. Identified the best parts of the logo and simplified it. I predict we’ll see a lot more of the nyc lock up devoid of the holding shape. I actually think the new team trainers are just that.

Yeah, it's not just the fact that they isolate the lock-up though - they just seem to have a much better understanding of proportion. The adidas stuff I've seen so far always has the lock-up too large or too small. I'm surprised it's not pixelated too .

Actually a pixelated NYC lock-up might be kinda fresh.
