I was hoping that this rumour had died off a little. I'll give them a pass for a year of they do something like this, but I do think it would be a mistake. Seems gimmicky and limits the ability for teams to create a brand/identity for themselves. Just imagine every single game at Spruce Meadows being red vs. black. Literally every single game. Boring.
An argument was made about cost savings of going more generic for away kits, but I don't think that it would offset the missed opportunity of having some nice, unique away colours. Black might sell for the first year, but it'll drop off fast after that.
While I am being a fashionisto, I would like to see Halifax and Pacific differentiate themselves more, colour wise. Their palette is much too similar, too pastel-ey and they even have/had the same VW sponsor. They just blend together in my mind.
But bring on a "proper" Calgary red for Cavalry. The orangy red never seemed quite right to me.
That's all I've got until the schedule is released. This is what I've come to. Soccer fashion.
