MLS: Grading each club’s newest kits for 2019 – part 2
By Josh Bouland
LAFC
LAFC will have a new secondary kit this season to replace their all-white look from a year ago. The club’s newest kit, dubbed “Street By Street,” is predominantly gray. There is a similar glitch template to Real Salt Lake’s newest secondary kit. Unfortunately, LAFC’s new kit looks not as well executed. While Salt Lake’s claret pops against the white, LA’s gray against white is very subdued.
There is dark gray trim on the collar and sleeves and on the Adidas shoulder stripes as well. Inside the collar is a “shoulder to shoulder” motto. There is also a “Street X Street, Block X Block, One X One” slogan in the jock tag, which also has the wing from the A in the club’s crest. This new kit gets a middling grade because of the bland color palette. If the gray was replaced with the club’s gold color, this would’ve scored higher.
Kit grade: C-
