pod818 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 First post! Scoured the internet for some pictures from the game. Interesting Blue tone stripes. I like the long sleeve worn by JDG although it must be hot.

Trident Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Blue? What is this based off, that lame Canada flag people use to pander to Quebec? The ones with the blue lines? Cmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobe_z Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 What the hell was that for Trident? Blue is a bit unusual, but there's no need for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I don't mind the blue stripes at all. The Vincentians look like a very poor man's Brazil with that getup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tintin Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 BLUE? What the fork is that? It reminds me of when the crest had the word Canada in blue, or when "team Canada" as the hockey guys like to say, wore blue pants. Canada has no connection to the colour blue. Even before the present flag, our national colour was red. Another thing I don't understand is why, if they had blue stripes today, the shirt I saw at The Bay (downtown Vancouver) was totally white. No colour whatsoever except for the crest. It looked like a t shirt. A note for you TFC supporters, The Bay in downtown Vancouver has TFC shirts and hats.

Keegan Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 did Adidas run out of red striped kits or make a mistake? I can actually see that happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Boy Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Maybe it's my monitor but in the second picture the stripes kinda look black. In other news....they are stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyr Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I think the important thing to note is... Mitchell looks to have prepared his team well for the sun and heat. A controlled pace, lots of water breaks and a white kit to help reflect the sun's rays. You have to acknowledge that he seems to be getting the details right. Also, the Dutch are playing with powder blue socks... where's the outrage! I think the stripes are black anyway, but it would be a nice change for our second or third kit to have some colour other than red, white or black.

Is black more acceptable than blue? I don't think the idea of a 3rd minor colour is a bad idea and blue would not be a problem for me. I just don't understand the need for inflammatory comments like the one from Trident. Will not do anyone any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Burn those kits they're bush league. CSA/Adidas should be trying to make this team a little just an effing *little* bit marketable yes/no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercanuck Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 ^^absolutely!! The one constant comment against the CSA is marketing. If the CSA?Adidas could come up with something unique, it would sell like hotcakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massive Attack Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I don't want a 'unique' jersey. I want a minimalist jersey. Give me the team colours and crest and that's all. I hate piping, stripes, weird things under the arms, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive Attack Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 You can start by removing the polka dots. Or even the Adidas stripes. I actually like the newer jersey better than the previous version. Having black under one arm only was stupid. And the oval, non-symetrical collar was even dumber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 If the team plays the way they have on several occasions - Gold Cup, Brazil - then they can wear flipping gunny sacks for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juby Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 quote:Originally posted by loyola I usually try to avoid the fashion/modelling threads same here but I also had to toss in my two cents, and at the risk of sounding flaming, I think collared jersey's look bomb. I wouldn't mind seeing a jersey that kinda looks like the collared england ones gascoigne used to wear but with our colours, I like the use of a duller white though over our super white and shiny jersey's, maybe a duller red to go along with it.
