First off, I saw the new 2024 home jersey, the one they’re saying Santiago Gimenez and the boys are rocking in the big games. Honestly, that eagle design… it’s kinda… a lot. Like, they’re saying it’s inspired by “traditional folk art,” and sure, okay, I can *see* it. But man, is it loud. It’s plastered all over the front AND back? I mean, chill, Adidas. Maybe dial it down a notch, y’know? It kinda feels like they just threw everything they could at it and hoped something would stick. I dunno, maybe it’ll grow on me, but right now, I’m on the fence. Also, what is it with that sentence just… stopping mid thought? “the 2024 home jersey shows your…” Shows your *what*, Adidas? Shows your *what*??? It’s driving me nuts.
Then there’s the away jersey. The “Wonder” colored one. That one I actually dig more. It’s got that classic adidas Trefoil logo, which gives it that retro vibe, and those details on the collar and cuffs? *Chef’s kiss.* It’s cleaner, it’s simpler, and it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a walking mural. Plus, they actually tell you its US Sizing, which is good of them. No one wants to order the wrong size, and then realize they have to go through a huge return process or something.
I gotta say, I appreciate that they’ve got the AEROREADY technology in these things. Living in a place where even breathing makes you sweat, a jersey that wicks away moisture is a godsend. It’s the difference between enjoying the game and feeling like you’re marinating in your own juices. Nobody wants to be that guy.
And speaking of guys (and gals!), they’ve got ’em for kids too! Which is cool, because you gotta start ’em young, right? Get them supporting El Tri early, and they’ll be fans for life. And let’s be real, a little kid in a soccer jersey is just adorable. I mean, come on!
One thing that always gets me with these replica jerseys is the price. Like, I get it, it’s official merchandise, but sometimes I feel like they’re charging an arm and a leg. I mean, I love my team, but do I *really* need to spend that much money just to show my support? That’s where the custom jerseys come in. The ability to get my own name on the back? Priceless. Even if it is a few more bucks.
