the only improvement is dc united
San Jose\'s kit looks like an away-day third-kit bodge job. Truly shocking...
adidas are goin downhill
And where are Houston\'s championship stars...
I agree with cronaldo7 about NY\'s sponsor logo, maybe next year.
Otherwise pretty good overall
IMO, A golden opportunity missed to make unique looking football kits that makes the MLS stand out..like in the 70\'s & 80\'s..
Chicago has worn an all-red kit with a white stripe across the front since the club was formed in 1998.
I think they actually modeled it on Stuttgart
when PUMA did the shirts they were the same as Stuttgart\'s
There was no MLS in the 70s/80s.
There is no new LA kit.
Houston has a championship star and the scudetto again.
KC and SJ\'s crests are either too big or too high on the shirt, I can\'t figure out which one.
Besides, the MLS is rubbish, the only 2 decent players are Angel and Beckham because they have played proper football
I bet Millwall can thump all the clubs in the MLS
Millwall till i die !!!!
New England should ask for their money back

As to the guy talking about MLS in the 70\'s/80\'s, ha! He must mean the NASL. Some NASL clubs had excellent uniforms (Tampa Bay Rowdies, Cosmos circa 1980, etc) and some had truly awful uniforms (Colorado Caribou, anyone? fringe?) so it is a very mixed bag.
...but I\'m still trying to figure out what the hell is so \"Real\" (Royal) about Salt Lake City. Makes about as much sense as forming a new team called \"United\". That word is supposed to represent a consolidation of former clubs.
If you want to give a nod to footballing tradition, \"FC\" works just fine (or how about \"Athletic,\" \"Sporting,\" or \"City\"?) without making a cartoonish mockery of things. What\'s next, \"San Diego Town\"??
Well, I guess we can at least be glad the fricking \"Wiz\" is dead.
I wonder how that worked with Chivas USA when they joines, seeing how the main team uses Reebok.
