I once wrote that MLS has the worst jerseys of any league in the world, and I’m not really willing to walk back on that statement. Having adidas as the lone outfitter results in a cookie-cutter method that necessitates “a harmonized approach and a design that works through all of the kits” at the expense of an individually tailored style (although, tbf, we still get things like the Houston Dynamo 2018 away shirt). Having said that, the new 2019 MLS jerseys are some of the strongest we've ever seen (each club introduced one new look for the upcoming season, either home or away).
Clubs like Atlanta United and LAFC have done a great job of elevating their brand status with a distinctive look on the pitch — clubs like the Chicago Fire and New England Revolution . . . not so much.
This is all to say that jerseys are an important aspect of supporter culture, so let’s take a look at what we’re trending towards in 2019 with all the confirmed threads.
