Three Impressive Caps From Opening Day

After the solid 1-0 opening day victory over Toronto FC, I couldn't help but realize that the Whitecaps had some solid performances from certain individuals which I wasn't expecting. While I don't mean this in a derogatory way, but often in the past, the Whitecaps have been a team which had a couple of notable players, with the rest being "team-players". Yet after seeing the Whitecaps in action the past weekend, there were plenty of impressive individual performances which deserve to be noted.

As a new season begins, the Whitecaps begin to ease into a steady rhythm of what will hopefully be victories. A 1-0 win over Toronto FC showed two different sides to the Whitecaps, with plenty of good and bad news to go around.

New 2013 Primary Kit Unveiled

As the 2013 MLS season is set to begin on Saturday, the Vancouver Whitecaps have unveiled their newest primary kit. If you were worried that there were going to be massive changes, you'll be glad to know that the kit has retained the same simplistic style with a few tweaks here and there. For anyone hoping a return to the retro, or something bold and mind-blowing, I guess you'll have to wait for next season.

New 2013 Primary Kit Unveiled

9:16 AM NC


As the 2013 MLS season is set to begin on Saturday, the Vancouver Whitecaps have unveiled their newest primary kit. If you were worried that there were going to be massive changes, you'll be glad to know that the kit has retained the same simplistic style with a few tweaks here and there. For anyone hoping a return to the retro, or something bold and mind-blowing, I guess you'll have to wait for next season.

The immediately notable couple of differences are the diagonal lines and the new collar. While I don't know much about fashion and style, the split-color round collar isn't quite my favorite. Personally I prefer a simpler v-neck or just a polo-style collar on jerseys, and the two-color scheme of it doesn't quite add anything special to it for me. As for the lines across the jersey, I can't really think of much to say considering how thin and minimalistic they are (something which I prefer over thick lines).

The new typeface/font of the MLS
My definite favorite part of the new jersey has to be the the typeface/font of the MLS. While it's not something designed by the Whitecaps team, it shows that Adidas is going in the right direction, finally straying away from the typeface I so disliked from past years of the MLS.

While my thoughts on the new jersey are pretty simple and straightforward, I've seen others quite unhappy with the whole kit and its design. What are your thoughts on the new Whitecaps kit? Share them in the comments!
