That being said, I would imagine that black kits sell very well. But that should be up to the team to roll one out every few years. I guess that's the good thing about soccer - kits change frequently, so if you have a stinker, you can always fix it next season. Unlike hockey and shoulder flags... stuck with 'em for a decade or more. I know that's more the club than the league, but still.

If the idea is a league wide black kit, they should allow more teams to have a third jersey. If Cavalry rolled out a new red, an away black, and a third green, I bet they would all sell quite well. Most MLS and European teams offer a third kit.
