Also includes travel polo, 2 dry-fit practice jerseys and the pre-game jersey. No complaints out of our team at all!

Since our team had to purchase the red kit and the cost of the pregame came later, this is actually less than last year plus it includes the travel polo (not included last year). Additionally, if you want more than 2 practice kits you can get another 2 kits for $25 and the practice t's are no longer 100% cotton but rather a dri-fit type material. The quality seems to be quite nice, but truthfully that remains to be seen until it's all been through the wash many, many times. I've shown the pics to some of our players and they really like the look.

Soccemom or Aggie

What is the cost of the kit? I have the last year kit and cost sheet and have a hard time believing its the same cost as last year or close.

For an inferior product it should be at least half the cost as Nike or Adidas.

Hey, doesn't that kid play for AYSES?

Recruiting wars are so bad right now that they are even fighting over the uniform models!

New kit is $350 includes:
Red, white, and blue game kits (jersey, shorts, socks)
backpack
travel polo
pregame
warmup pants
warmup pullover fleece
2 practice kits (shirt, shorts, socks)

Last year I paid around $411 for the basic pkg plus the optional red kit (which wasn't optional for us) and the pregame which was released later in the year.

As much as I love Nike, and I REALLY love Nike, based on what I have seen so far, I wouldn't necessarily consider these "inferior," although time will tell.

Going bare-knuckle again this season I see.

For $7 more Nike makes a better product.

I would not give up the quality and performance of Nike to get a polyester (performance) training top.

The DOC is getting a little money hungry and we are footing the bill.

if you want to see the money he is saving compare a Nike performance top price at Dick's to a private brand performance top at Academy

Academy BCG perf top $9.99

Nike perf top $49.99

I know at bulk the price is dicounted so even if the Nike top is $30 to the team the DOC is pocketing approx $20 per top (not to mention all the other pieces)

The club has 23 girls teams and about 27 boys teams at avg of 16 players per team = 800 players. 3 jerseys per player nad someone just pocketed about $16,000 on just the jerseys. Now add the shorts, warm ups and bags. I think we are getting screwed!!!

Someone just PM'd and asked why I have something against the club?

Well "I Dont" in fact I have a player that plays for TFC five years and is playing for them next year.

And I dont mind the new billboard, I mean uniform. I just would like the savings that comes with the product.

it could be worse, at least they dont say advocare and the team website is braggin a multi million dollar sponsorship that you wont see a penny of

and these are supposed to be 'non profit' clubs???!!!!

We like the new look! As for the logo across the bottom I really don't have a problem with that since my dd really doesn't stand still on the field long enough for someone to be staring at her bottom Ha!

basic kit price was $333 last year (incl 2x ea of practice shirt/shorts/socks) plus red kit @ $53.50 plus pregame @ $25 (I think) = $411.50

cost is not bad for the amount of stuff the players will receive.
The dry fit practice shirts look good.

Well, I guess Mr. Ed won't have the rule about tucked in shirts now.

That question was asked Sunday night...and he said he was relaxing on a few things and that is one of them, said he was leaving it up to each coach.

As a REF, I'll make them tuck the shirts in anyway, lol...

Someone just forwared a picture of Solar Chelsea's new uniforms and they apparently have a new sponsor as well:

That seems better than their first offer...

Wow, FIDO you must be a freaking genius.

Bigfoot - Bravo, everyone knows that the DOC likes to play with the books but he is not know for his outstanding fuzzy math skills other than moving money around to his benefit. But I feel like the chicken is coming to roost soon at the Casa de Ed, the worlds least interesting man

BTW Fido is an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As opposed to the powers that be at Andromeda who demonstrated their amazing money management skills by letting Stan The Man piss away an entire state of the art complex. Ed is not the world's greatest DOC by far, but Powers has yet to prove anything other than it's going to cost a bundle to share just a couple of fields.
