However, I think Crew SC fans have reached a consensus regarding the team's new kit: It stinks. Worse, these new jerseys aren’t merely a third option, sitting benignly in lockers save for the few occasions on which the team may decide to spice up their look. Instead, they are replacing the Crew’s iconic gold uniforms!

Owner Anthony Precourt has been generally successful as he’s worked to make the team more professional, but I fear all his efforts will be negated when he allows the team to take the field next month wearing printer tests with sleeves.
