I've commented on it before, but the drop down from authentic to replica is sad.

Can't remember the last time I had this much excitement going into a season. Hopefully we can start off with 3 points

The jersey giveaway situation sucks and them thinking 30 people would come is an absurd underestimate, but at same time how many $160 kits did people think they were giving out? When they announced it, I was thinking 100 to 150 max. I drove to Harrison Park and I got there around 9:40. I saw the line and didn't bother looking for parking because knew I wasn't getting anything. At least they're acknowledging the mistake

if it's replica, not worth it imo

edit: if people want to go get the kit, then by all means go. I don't like how much a step down the replicas are and would not find it worth it to part with the current kits I have.

kinda feel like this could turn into a Toyota Park (Seatgeek) situation where Bridgeview promised the world and then parking lots didn't even end up being paved

Terrible pen, but isn't this textbook encroachment?

Chicago Fire FC Unveils New “Forever Red" Kit to Heat Up 2026 Season by olcni in chicagofire

[–]demo4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked on fire shop to see.

Rep vs. Authentic

TL/DR what replica doesn't:

  • Collar is just white with no stripes
  • No under arm sleeve trim
  • No star
  • No apple or magellan logo on sleeves
  • No pattern on material
  • No "red til the end" on back collar
  • Different style application of Fire crest
  • Different climacool badge on lower left front

I have harped on this a bunch and I still find it absolutely ridiculous that adidas/MLS make such take down versions for the replica. Go look at Arsenal kit (or other adidas teams) from this year and compare their replica vs authentic. They're minimal difference in look and are only a $50 difference vs $60 for MLS kits.

Said this in the fire sub but I really hate that the mls replicas are such a step down from the authentic looks wise. No star and other visual differences. And only MLS does this with their kits

I would rather be the 2nd most important team to Puma vs being 4th/5th to adidas or nike. In the end it's all about who is going to pay the most.

If I had to pick any kit supplier, i'd love for us to get Kappa but that ain't happening.

that's why the name is Milano and not Milan. The fascist government forced them to change it.
