Grading the new MLS Eastern Conference Kits for the upcoming 2017 season.

All 22 MLS teams have released their new looks for the upcoming 2017 campaign. How did the Eastern Conference fare? Check out the slideshow to see my individual grades for each new kit from the East.

Atlanta United FC: B

The newest Eastern Conference team, Atlanta United FC, dropped their secondary kit. A clean look, and distinct from their primary. For an expansion team that didn’t mess up in the off-season, they’re gonna look sharp. May need a bit more boldness next year, but they have to establish their identity first.

Chicago Fire: D

The Chicago Fire have disappointed yet again. Nothing against them, but I was hoping for a more sleek, vibrant kit for this season. Instead, we get a gray kit, that feels like a training kit. The gray shade could have worked, but overall the design at first glance it’s striking. Perhaps it appears better in person.
