Seriouspost I'd be happy if the Rapids had stuck with green, suits our state well (well except the eastern plains, but gently caress those guys).

We also did the Inter Milan one season, that was kinda neat but eh, no real connection there.

[Edit] ^^^^^^^^ Portland Timbers are just fine, thank you, but they need to use this years throwbacks as full-time home kits.

I second Palermo light pink and black for the inevitable Miami team. I'm not too shocked or saddened to hear that LAFC is red and black. I can only hope that LA2 doesn't turn into as big a mess as Chivas USA did.

And seriously, Montreal needs to use the Inter look full time. It's so much more distinct than their "San Jose with sponsorship" home kits.

I wish they would either stop giving Adidas the league-wide shirt contract or force the designers to make something interesting. KC's kits are good and cool and I want one that doesn't look the same every year.

Hello, I am warming up my seat in here.

If people would like my opinions on things such as Tyson Wahl being a bad defender, New England enjoying the satisfaction of huffing their farts, or why the MLS final will somehow be between LA and SEA, than I am available to have a chit chat.

I kinda like this, because:
a) the green hoops would probably play well with the Stage Irish crowd that listens to the Dropkick Murphys and pretends that they still have relatives in Ireland
b) the green hoops would annoy the poo poo out of the many, many Celtic and Sporting CP fans who live here

Also, it would look neat and I'd probably buy one

Adidas is a big gay fail shirtmaker and until they stop treating MLS as a brand showcase first and a kit design showcase second, the league will be a bunch of dishrag wearing motherfuckers regardless of color schemes.

Nike didnt pick the silly names and cool hosed up kits were the only good thing about the league for about 5-7 years (also the names are somehow worse now lmbo).

And the single league-wide kit deal is Corky from Life Goes On levels of 'tarded.

The two best parts of the road trip to RBA were the mystery man that put up NYCFC SEASON TICKETS ON SALE NOW complete with a working phone number in the away support section, and the awkward kid who requested a 7-on-7 rumble after the match while his friends looked on in horror as half a dozen street punks bucked up demanding to fight in the street.

I have pictures of both these things. Remind me

It's actually terrible, and indicative of how low quality this league is that they can't attract people with actual sports management and business acumen. I dread DC giving Pontius or some other has-been a front office role, but it seems inevitable.

Let's not forget that Pause played soccer at NC, a school who from at least 2000 on was falsifying their courseloads for athletes and is on the verge of serious academic sanctions or potentially losing accreditation. So this dingleberry doesn't even finish college, majoring in butthole ceramics and now he's vice president of a franchise? Are there no power attorneys or people with real skill available in the entire Chicago metropolitan area that could take the job seriously?

I just looked it up and they don't even specify what he's a VP of. They already have 5 VPs:

Senior Vice President of Ticket Sales, Service, Operations and Marketing Mike Ernst
Vice President of Finance & Administration Pawel Szynalik
Vice President of Business Development Jeff Wagner
Vice President of Corporate Partnerships Jessica Worley
Vice President of Communications Doug Hicks

So what joke role does he have? VP of dirty laundry?

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
Obviously his front office role is going to be very figureheady (and if it isn't then Shammy is right that it's Dumb As Hell but presumably those other 5 VPs have the "actual sports management and business acumen" field relatively well covered), but it's cool that Chicago are rewarding long-serving and beloved players like Pause with front office sinecures and nobody with a functioning human heart could object to this...oh dear lord have I cracked the code?

He has the most appearances out of any Chicago Fire player not named CJ Brown, of course he's notable. Of course I didn't realize he was a UNC player which makes him an instance douche bag short busser, thank you for pointing that out, I can't believe I've been a fan of his for 12 years without knowing.

I'm not sure there is a real benchmark for "too dumb and forced" in the mls. I was going to make a joke about the league needing a "dynamo" team but forgot one already exists. Put in Borussia Pittsburgh and Zenit Minneapolis already.
