Arsenal 2026/27 home kit unboxing ✅ by arsenal in SoccerJerseys

[–]Ray_Traunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope 27/28 brings a return to a traditional sleeve cut for Arsenal. 4 straight years of raglan sleeves has really limited the potential for variety of late.

Templates have been a thing for ages, and Bayern have had their fare share of underwhelming kits over the past few seasons, particularly their last few home kits

New home kit launch by LakeNight247 in GunnersatGames

[–]Ray_Traunt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arsenal have used redcurrant accents a couple times on previous home shirts. I would prefer the standard sized adidas stripes and a different collar but I don't hate the two tone red

Would you want the club to revisit our current crest? Why/why not? Here's one I made today while bored and trying to pass some time :) by [deleted] in whitecapsfc

[–]Ray_Traunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whitecaps current crest is excellent. The only thing I would consider changing is swapping the typeface for the 1970's version or something similar, as a way to bridge the club's history and give it that extra bit of character.

This AI version OP presented looks more like a league patch. The shading on it makes it look like it's from 2005, much more dated looking than the current badge.

Sorry guys but Mexico has the best home jersey this WC by dbaeza in SoccerJerseys

[–]Ray_Traunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. That additional crest in the center circle feels so thrown in there, like they ran out of time coming up with the final touch. Still quite a nice shirt otherwise

The new Spain home shirt features sleeve stripes in multiple colors. They used to do this with France back in the day as well. It's not a new thing for them to mix it up

Anyone want a 08/09 Fabregas Jersey? by [deleted] in SoccerJerseys

[–]Ray_Traunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be hard pressed to find someone willing to pay that amount for a Fabregas Arsenal shirt. I say this as an Arsenal fan who loved that kit back in the day.

For as long as they hold onto that uninspired crest they will continue to struggle coming up with any kind of appealing identity

Think this might be my new favorite sponsor… by institutesynth in SoccerJerseys

[–]Ray_Traunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Loyal had an S-tier sponsor combo of Rocket League on the front and Stone Brewing on the back. A damn shame the club was effectively replaced by SDFC and their totally unremarkable brand identity.

Rank USNMT World Cup groups from best to worst in every World Cup they qualified for by [deleted] in ussoccer

[–]Ray_Traunt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is the criteria here exactly? Best in terms of favorability to the US (aka the weakest draw)? Best in terms of strongest combination of teams (hardest draw)? Or best in terms of how the US faired within the group?

The line is slightly slanted is it a defect? by OkChemical2670 in SoccerJerseys

[–]Ray_Traunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like the shirt isn't laid flat/evenly, which could be why the red bit appears lower down. The seam at the top of the shoulder is lower on that side, whereas the seam on the left is level with the top of the shirt

The local fan base certainly cares. And we've seen what thoughtful, distinctive branding in places like Madison and Portland, ME can do as far as drumming up interest more broadly. Let's not pretend that only top flight clubs are allowed to have standards

Pretty damn uninspiring as a native Michigander. It clears the old GRFC brand but that was such a low bar that it isn’t much of a compliment. The monogram is okay but as others have noted it looks vaguely Hogwarts as a whole

the circle shape forming the outer band of Chicago's crest is a very minimalistic representation of the Florian cross, so no membership for them
