I don't have a problem with the intent.

There are ways to integrate a rainbow into a kit that won't make it fugly.


The uniform is really ugly

I agree with you and HTown. It was a lazy effort and looks ridiculous. Just like our homophobic friend above, I'd never buy it, but I appreciate the intent especially given the negative biases that exist in sports.

I'm not a fan of their running shoes either.

I haven't liked these kits from the get go, throw in the rainbow number, and it looks even more awful.

I have no problem with the intent, but it's slapping a rainbow on a generally shitty kit, making said shitty kit look worse, even if it is for a good cause.


Some of the below listed sure jumped to conclusions.

And every time American soccer culture can shake the stigma of being full of "trendy people" making poses against their social lessers, someone comes along trying to prove the stereotype true.

people of my own sex"!

At the end of the day, that's the sole difference between heterosexuals and homosexuals. So, "Pride Month" is about people being proud of the gender of those with whom they have sex. Go ahead and attack me. My argument is unassailable. I am not.


I will await the USMNT shirt celebrating heterosexuality.

Bad comment, yes. But that's the kind of dialogue that is bound to happen when you use sports teams to make political/social statements. Splendid idea. Perhaps they should have them focus on playing better soccer.
