The Thread That's on Indefinite Loan to Manchester City (The 2015 Major League Soccer Thread)

That Portland jersey is such a disaster. What in the world.

[HailtotheYo]

ruh roh ... fanatics.com leaked shit today and Twitter was all over it: http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/07/photos-multiple-2015-mls-jerseys-leaked-portland-timbers-toronto-fc-many-more/

I think the TFC one is okay. Preferred last years, but this one isn't offensive or anything.

[Tits McGee]

I'm not a fan of any of the new jerseys

[Sweet Holy Moses]

DCU's is actually pretty good, I think. The rest? Meh.

Except for Portland's. That one is terrible.

[HailtotheYo]

I'll likely end up being on board with DCU's ... I think it'll look much better in hand. I actually love that SKC continues to be quietly different. I think that kit is going to end up being nice actually. Vancouver's works great as a training top ... TFC actually looks like the exact template that SEA has ... and I actually like that CLB has stayed tried and true to the yellow. It actually looks nice with the new crest. It isn't anything special, but it's just a nice plain kit, which is better than most these days.

However, fuck you Portland ... seriously with that shit ?

[HailtotheYo]

That's a lovely black kit.

COL has apparently approached Kevin Doyle.

FCD has re-signed Fabian Castillo !

Ok, we've got a bit of a soccer war brewing in the lower divisions. USL has greatly updated their look and feel and have really ramped up their professionalism since getting the affiliation with MLS last season. Per the new USL site: "This year the League will apply for USSF Division 2 sanctioning to accurately reflect the quality of our league, our ownership groups, our stadiums and our fans" http://uslsoccer.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=32800&ATCLID=209874501&SPLASH_SET=YES They are also partnered with Youtube and all USL matches will be streamed LIVE and in HD .... which already blows away the availability of NASL matches.

Philly has signed Steven Vitoria (CB Benfica) on a season loan.

[Szumi]

But he's not a goalkeeper!

[HailtotheYo]

Reports circulating that MON and NYRB are after Ledesma (Lazio)

[HailtotheYo]

Orlando is being reported to have just about got a deal done for Seb Hines DEF (Middlesbrough)

[HailtotheYo]

Some murmurs about Bryan Ruiz to the Whitecaps ... I don't care who he goes to, I'd LOVE to see him in the league.
