MLS Uni Watch
By: Jeremy | June 18th, 2009
I am a frequent visitor of a website called Uni Watch: The Obsessive Study of Athletics Aesthetics. Yesterday, there was a post about a guy that keeps track of the different uniform combinations worn during each MLS game this season. Check out the excerpt and link from Uni Watch.
Uni Tracking, MLS Style: Many of you, myself included, have been tracking Major League Baseball uniforms. Well, reader Lee Stokes has been tracking soccer uniforms, or at least those of the MLS. Lee explains:
* MLS teams don’t have “home” and “road” uniforms sets, more like “primary” & “secondary”, so games often feature both teams “in color”.
* Many times teams will mix & match shirt, short & sock combinations.
* FC Dallas actually feature ‘hoops’ (horizontal white stripes) in both their primary & secondary kits. I couldn’t represent that on my sheet.
* Likewise Chivas USA has white vertical stripes on the primary shirt, but their secondary shirt is solid blue.
* I am only tracking MLS regular season games, not games involving MLS teams in other competitions (Open Cup, Champions League, etc…)
Here is a link to his work (you may need an account to view it, but it’s free to sign up). Thanks Lee!
Wow! Now that is some MLS dedication (or obsession).
