De Zerbi to Brighton: who says no
i'm glad it has a connection to Tina Turner, because a kit that is brown and yellowy brown with a dog food sponsor is ... unpleasant
Introducing The Tina Turner Kit 🎤
A tribute to the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll and her unstoppable energy. A celebration of her enduring spirit and the city where she found her voice.

Fwiw, IMHO Miami, LAFC, and possibly Philly/Vancouver would hold their own in Premier League

Love that top of the Championship, Middlesbrough, features former Columbus Crew Aidan Morris, former Charlotte FC Adilson Malanda, and almost Charlotte FC player (?) Riley McGree.
This may be as close as we get to "where would a MLS team be positioned in England?"

Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

1. Orlando - Bright? Check. Subtle, but intriguing pattern? Check. Memorable? Instantly. (reminds me of citrus too)
I, personally, appreciate the simplicity of a colour inverse with "home" and "away." Bizarrely, the purple shorts are not the same as the home kit, which have a swoop
10/10

2. LAFC - Continuing with the art deco is solid. I used to believe you couldn’t go wrong with black and gold, and then everyone had a black and gold kit and it got a bit played out, but this is pretty unique

3. Chicago Fire - Clean, vintage, and a solid badge; you could put Berhalter in a XL and put a instant photo filter on the picture and it would look like it was from the 90s, minus Carvana

6. NYCFC - Not a NYCFC kit, but very cool and not City Football Group-y
5. Minnesota - Great subtle pattern and a nice subtle sash. Negative sash? IDK what to call it, but it looks good.
4. Revs - unique and a well-executed starburst from the badge

8. CLT - I think there’s going to be more mountain-to-sea kits in the stands than this one, but nice that ‘Blue Arsenal’ is kinda the identity of the team now (note: *not* an Arsenal fan)
7. Galaxy - Galaxy with a sash just makes sense. I've seen this kit before. The stars need some organizing tho

10. San Jose - They should have a hippie kit and a big tech kit every season
9. Timbers - pattern is nice, but I don’t know if there’s *enough* green; is the accent green or grey? Checking my monitor settings…

12. Columbus - I know the Charley Brown was popular with the Crew fans, but I like this one more, even if it’s not as much of a style risk
11. San Diego - This is a cincy kit, but it’s fun and bold, unlike last season’s very safe dark/light kits
