Those stripes are friggin' awful. From the Fifa mock-ups, they looked like very subtle lines. The taped look is really, really gross.

I didn't like the context of the first jersey, but this second jersey is just ugly. Sorry, y'all.

I'm going to agree with you. The stripes look terrible, would be much nicer if they weren't there.

I still like the home kit better.
 
Awesome shirt. Cannot wait to wear this one. Good on the club for confirming it, instead of letting us fester with rumors. I think blue shorts might look better with the black top, but that is just my bias against monochrome kits. Either way, a huge upgrade!

Oh and my guess is someone at EA Sports spent today sending out their resume.
 
I think the stripes will look a lot less prominent in real life.
 
I think anyone weary of the stripes should give them the benefit of the doubt for now. Jerseys almost ALWAYS look better on the field than they do in some crappy promo shot.

Speaking of which; there is some weird shopping going on in the new image. Lampards hands are in the EXACT same spot. Same with the "Inaugural Season" print.

I'd bet that NYCFC was behind the EA leak so they can get a feel if the fans like the design. If we didn't and raised hell they'd have time to make changes. Probably the reason why we can't get them next week with the home jersey.

My only thing about the leak is this.... If they didn't plan on releasing the jerseys until 2015, lots of people on the fence would come to terms with the home and buy it anyway. So why give them a jersey they potentially like more and only buy one.

If they release it in early 2015 and its this sexy, now you're buying two jerseys. Maybe they don't think they'll lose money since so many preorders are sold out already, but my gut is they didn't want anyone seeing the jersey for fear of people only buying one instead of two.
 
I Love this. excellent job. I hope the stripes are raised and made of that slightly rubberized fabric

It would be extremely unlikely to get stars (whether sports, music, movies, etc.) to pose for specific shots in specific clothes. Promo shots are routinely 'shopped. These guys were probably wearing plain monochrome shorts and shirt (maybe green, maybe blue) to make it easy to sub in photos of the gear.

I will say that there is no way that the Chinese dupe factories are going to be able to make passable versions of the Away jersey. Which might explain why it has the stripes and the other enhancements.
 
I like this jersey much better, will there be a third kit?
The email they sent out read "New York City FC today revealed the club's away jersey, completing the team's look for the inaugural 2015 season," which I take to mean no more jerseys the first year.

Great jersey.

I have question: Would you guys choose an authentic or replica?

Do authentic adidas jersey run a tighter fit than other authentic? like puma's?
I would like to know that myself this will be the only Adidas I will own. They are the MLS uniform supplier, I pray they are outbid in 2018 by one of the other big suppliers Nike, Puma and Under Armour.
