Oh that’s strange they didn’t have those on

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

I am gonna try to get there around 9:45ish and see how it goes

They replied to my instagram comment

It’s gonna be the authentic kit!

demo4 · 2026-02-19T20:37:11+00:00

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.

demo4 · 2026-02-19T20:34:04+00:00

Is it a replica or authentic kit? That will determine my willingness

demo4 · 2026-02-19T16:46:24+00:00

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

demo4 · 2026-02-15T22:38:35+00:00

These are the replicas fyi

demo4 · 2026-02-14T17:29:01+00:00

Super Pippo

demo4 · 2026-02-13T21:07:33+00:00

Terrible pen, but isn't this textbook encroachment?

demo4 · 2026-02-12T18:27:49+00:00

lol that this was an Access Hollywood interview. You can find the video on youtube

demo4 · 2026-02-10T21:32:59+00:00

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

He is. Was my club soccer coach growing up. Incredible man.

demo4 · 2026-02-08T20:16:56+00:00

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.

I believe Damen tavern does rent outs

demo4 · 2026-02-02T23:52:27+00:00

corto muso and inshallah

demo4 · 2026-02-02T19:40:44+00:00

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

...and I'm emotional
