In it's very current state, and specifically the home kit... Sure. But Considering the amount of times jersey's change trough a teams history......
So based on your unfounded speculation of the future, everything is hunky dory. Great. Other people are more realistic.
ust because this sub has a lot of hate for NYCFC doesn't make you correct.
No one claimed it did. Also, just because you have a victim complex , it doesn't make me incorrect.
City Group invested to make a new team in NYC, keep them in NYC,
First of all, the invested in order to make money...they care fuck all that it's in NYC specifically. You're just buying into the lip service, but whatever. How do you know they'll "stay in nyc?" There's a very real chance that there stadium will end up outside of the city proper...what then?
and used a familiar design on the jersey's (While doing a fantastic job on the Logo/Away jerseys mind you.) for the first seasons.
The logo is pretty great...I don't care for the away kits, but that's just personal preference....but again...what gives you the impression that they'd change their home kits significantly over the next few seasons? You have the same kit as Man City and Melbourne City...what makes NYC special?
Also, calling a NYC team "City" makes complete and utter sense. I just think City Group is smart, there's a huge difference between how they went about this and how MetroStars went about their way.
let me translate: I have an opinion which makes me right. You aren't offering anything of any substance to the argument.
My point still stands, for a team to change their whole identity/brand and throw it out the window because of sponsor money (Red Bull) is hilarious and never seen before in US major sports. The public can only see that as a sellout, because that's what it is.
Very few RBNY supporters are happy with the rebrand. It happened. We've moved on. That doesn't change the fact that NYCFC is any less of a billboard than we are. Again, the fact that Red Bull is a more familiar marketing campaign than CFG is completely irrelevant to the argument. I don't care what people ignorant to the situation think.
I guarantee you any team in the NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL that would do that would get unreal amounts of backlash and lose on a HUGE amount of long time fans, hell im not even sure any elage would allow it. Its pure bullshit.
Okay, you have an opinion on something. Wonderful. I'm glad you've convinced yourself that NYCFC is any more "authentic" or less of a bill board than the team I support.
I know what I support. You're equivocating in order to make yourself feel better.
I don't give a fuck who anyone supports, but let's not lie to ourselves, hmmm?
