Came to Pelé Soccer in Times Square to check out the New York Cosmos 2026 primary kit.
Very bare. A basic Capelli template. Take away the crest and I’d see this kit in Sunday leagues. Needs a front sponsor.
The green is nice but for $135 I’m not sure this is worth it “yet”.

I got the impression Trump was expecting applause when he said Pelé's name, and said it a second time, but the crowd was silent, so he added, "I assume one of the greats?" One of many awkward moments. Still, good for the New York Cosmos to get a mention at least.
