Stink. Bad. Colors – who picked out these color combinations…was anyone whose vision WORKED consulted in this process?

I will not be willing to wear this kit and i will not spend any money…am i wrong or is this the point?

My kids think they are ugly…and PS i spent 200 bucks on the away jersey 6 months ago…they will be wearing them a while…

this team seems to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. I bought season tickets again and this will be the last time if the dont get their crap together.

PS one of the other posts was right…why cant we put 15-20 american kids on the team and develop some real local talent? Oh yea, we might get smashed in the first round of the playoffs and might suck in August in Sept. Boy i am glad we have all of those foreign players to keep that from happening.

I am going to bed now – but first i will read “FC Dallas and all of the Cups they have won” to my kids. Guess they will be going down pretty quick.

Stupid club cant get out of its own way. If Kenny, Drew and Dax and so powerful to have around why not 10-15 more?

Why does the replica not have a white back like the regular jersey?

Or was Oduro putting hte numbers and his name on the front?!

Chamo: Fair enough. We do haunt different regions of the DFW area. That might be it, but again, I see soccer jerseys worn out and about in the Dallas proper area every day… just not FCD jerseys. I contend it is the “hoops” design.

maybe FCD/adidas/MLS could try, as an experiment, to make available to the public a batch of a slightly muted version of “hoops: ? like, the red would be a gray-red mix and the white would be some kind of off-white.

for the consumer who doesn’t want the very bright hoops look you’d probably want to just make it out of cotton so your girlfriend would wear it for a nightie – which she doesn’t want to if it’s clima-cool or whatever miracle fiber.

Peter,

I think your experience is based on where live/work in the metroplex. People living closer to Dallas generally have the impression you have. While people in Collin County have a different experience. I never saw a Burn jersey out in public in Collin County. I do see FCD jerseys out an about Collin County all the time.

The area where FCD/Adidas really has improved over Burn/Nike/Atletica is making the jerseys available in youth sizes. Everytime I attend a school related event with my children, I always spot children wearing FCD swag.

Peg: There is a big serious difference between Milan and Brazil when it comes to the style of wearing soccer jerseys. You just can’t compare those cultures with Dallas’.

And I just telling ya what I see around me, or more specifically, what I don’t see – FC Dallas jerseys. I contend its because of the design. I alway saw Burn jerseys…

Hey Hitman you think Flamengo jerseys don’t sell in Brazil? What about vertical stripes such as AC Milan?

Now that I’ve had a few days to look at them there are two things in common to both uniforms and a chance for a new nickname. Anyone like “White Stripes” or “White Backs”?

the jerseys need to be more tight fitting on the players like the manikins at the draft. that woulld make it look a bit better. also, the red on the away shorts just looks out of place. at least go w/ blue or red socks or something to distract our eyes fromt the red strip.
