Deep down, you knew it. You always knew it. Whether you’re a smirking supporter of an authentically grassroots team like the Red Bulls or the most fervent, drum-bangin’-est celeste fan in all of Yankee Stadium, you couldn’t manage to avoid the truth:
New York City FC is a plastic team. And this Sunday in the Bronx, we’ll all see the proof.
It’s crazy that this organization isn’t even trying to fake it anymore. Ostensibly in honor of “Earth Day,” which is clearly a not-real and made-up thing, NYCFC and Adidas have joined up with Parley for the Oceans to dress the Boys in Blue in specially-made kits manufactured from plastics fished right out of America’s oceans.
