New Galaxy Kit (and this is Probably Really the One)

I really liked the old kit, but the new crest is nice.

Just for fun I thought I would do a version of the new jerseys in the old colors (green and gold). I also tried to bring back the diagonal stripe into the logo because I think it was one of the distinguishing features of the old galaxy jerseys. (It looks a little like a Crayola box tho haha)

Yawn. Although the old colors of green and yellow were not properly applied, they did allow the Galaxy to diiferentiate itself from the other teams in the MLS. There are 13 MLS teams and now all but three of them have either red or blue as their primary colors.

i like it not with beckham on the back though

As a brit i like it.. will buy for defo not sure if i want beckham on the back yet though lets see how he plays for you US Cousins

anything is better than the old jerseys. i was worried that beckham and mls would look dumb if people saw us in green and gold. yellow is just not the way to go for a home jersey.

Laurie, i just saw the official new kit and you were right! they did work in a little more of the sky blue down from the collar. I'm not sure if I like that part to be honest.

Andrew, I like it. I also noticed that the gold snakes didn't carry over to the away kit. This is an excellent guess as to what it will look like. I'm wondering if they'd stick with the simple dark navy or pull the sky blue from the collar into something on the front.

(I wish I could do PhotoShop-type stuff. What fun I could have with this blog...)

...well it didn't, but here's the photobucket link:

Personally I like the new kit, of course it's the same colors as my alma mater, so maybe that's why. The logo is a little too simple, but it has that international appeal i think they're looking for. I took a minute to try and figure out what the front of the away jersey would look like based off of the other 3 views that were leaked. I noticed they didn't continue the large gold stripes on the front, I wonder why. Oh, and I did a crappy rendition of the logo. I don't know if posting images will work, but here goes..

if only they could change the horrendous name and change MLS' name.

i like the last one better

i like the lod one better

I hope this is the new jersey. I saw some other jersey on the net that looked disturbing. This jersey looks good. Like the colors and the new crest.

you guys will like the midnight blue away jersey better. unless the midnight blue is the home jersey. i'm not sure. but i know its midnight blue.

Coooooool, but i love the current logo...But i'm not disappointed by this new jersey

Diane, yes, I have high hopes for the away shirt.

(I have a bizarre fascination with away shirts anyway. I have no explanation.)

I just went to Eurosport (soccer.com) to see if I was being too fussy and discovered that most of the other shirts have their crests higher up and cooler type faces advertising their sponsor...especially Barca which cleverly has UNICEF ;-) .
OF COURSE when you open Eurosport's home page Beckham's up top in an Adidas ad for his new shoe, and they managed to design a cool enough shirt for him to wear THERE! I had stopped pouting, but now I'm holding on at least until I see the shorts and away shirt :-( !

Actually, Julien, it's kind of grown on me too. Simple yet not too boring. I like the colors on the collar and sleeves. Plus the snakes add interest and will probably put fear into the hearts of opponents. Because hey, if the Galaxy can deal with snakes heading for their onions, they must be tough!

Is it bad that I like it?

This was official for a couple of hours (almost half a day). I suspect someone at Adidas got fired (or someone hacked the site), because this was up for sale on the official Adidas website, though with a dubious and suspicious description. I like the new kit, don't know about the badge though.

I like it. Simple but with a little color with the "snakes". The logo is "meh" but I think I'll get used to it.

i actually kinda like it... it's simple but i like the look and i also like the new badge... by the way i love this blog its great! hahaha keep up the good work!

I'm pouting :( . And NO, on behalf of all Real Madrid fans everywhere, that does not remotely resemble The White Shirt (or the exquisite black away shirt). Maybe this is just another yellow streaked herring...

Laurie - Glad I could take over for your regular inappropriateness while it took a little vacation. I'll be leaving the country soon, so you'll have to be that much more inappropriate soon to keep up this dirty American image we have going for us.

Cockers, I actually got it from another blog. It's all over the blogosphere this morning, but I haven't seen anything official yet. When I do, I'll post the info.

Ian, congratulations. You have made me laugh out loud. Onion hunt indeed.

And you have also put a disturbing visual into my head: What, exactly would a snake look like after he's swallowed an onion? Or worse, two?

Actually, it did occur to me that they might be crawling down, but I've made SO MANY inappropriate comments recently that I very primly decided to go with the armpit angle.

where did you get that picture from. i can't see it on the official site...is it available to buy?

"Snakes climbing up the armpits" is a bit optimistic. Who says they're climbing UP? Yikes. The big yellow snakes look more like they're onion-hunting. Ahhh ... that's better. I've wanted to make an onion or yam comment for like a month now. I'm better now.

Does anyone else think it looks closer to the Real Madrid kit to ease the transition for Beckham fans.
