Worst Kits

3. FC Dallas

FC Dallas just tried way too hard with their latest home kit to incorporate the state flag. The 3-stripes are white but are way too close to an all white chest on the front. The star on the sleeve with LM, a nod to Lamar Hunt, is the sole bright spot on the jersey. The jersey is just bland and quite frankly looks like your little cousin’s travel team kit.

2. Vancouver Whitecaps

Adidas is really pushing monochrome kits in 2018 and I’m personally not here for it. While NYCFC’s monochrome kit is bearable, Vancouver’s kit is just downright boring. NYCFC’s kits have a pop of sky blue which goes well with the primary color, but Vancouver’s kit lacks anything worth noting. If you’re going with a grey kit, its a must to style it with a vibrant secondary color.

1. Los Angeles Football Club

LAFC fans have a lot to be excited about in 2018, a star-studded new team, a state of the art stadium, and an attractive brand. An inaugural season jersey is a must-buy for a supporter, but it’s pretty safe to say this may be the worst LAFC kit in their unwritten history.

Blessed with a regal color scheme, Adidas took no risks and produced the most boring home and away kits of MLS in 2018 . The black kit is unimaginative to say the least, and the white kit looks like a throw away prototype from a late 2000’s Real Madrid jersey.
