If you check out the Fire Away Jerseys, they have the city flag on the back by the waist. It is pretty sick. Not sure why it is not in this shot.

Maybe this is a little Euro-snobby of me, but I like shirts with sponsors. Some of those shirts above just look empty.

The Fire away shirt you have posted looks slightly different than what they unveiled earlier this month. The one McBride was wearing has a replica Chicago flag on the lower left of the shirt. See the third picture in the link below.

MH is right. Whoever wins Serie A gets to wear the scudetto on their shirts the next year.

My favorite book when I was young may have been Harold and the Purple Crayon, which may have lead me to really liking purple forever.

Well next year sees the Timbers enter the League, but you’re right only Seattle has green (if you can call it that) the Rapids had green for 1-2 seasons but ditched that look quickly.

I also may be biased as I’ve always liked purple and I’m sitting here in a purple shirt.

I thought Coloradoans only wore purple during Rocktober?

And I think there should be more teams that wear green, but that doesn’t seem to be a very well-represented color in the uniform world.

Paul Lukas just threw up a little at the mention of purple.

I do think some team in MLS should have at least purple accents in their colors. Other than about 4 teams, most of the jerseys seem to consist of red/white/black/some type of darker blue. It’d be nice to see a little variation in there. Purple is really the only “wild” color that’s not seen at all in MLS.

That’s the Scudetto; Inter wears it because they won Serie A last year.

Now that I think about it, do they put USA flags on the back of NFL helmets too? I guess it is pretty common.

Some Italian teams (Inter come to mind) wear an Italian flag “shield” on their shirts.
