Looks like they're gonna make their debut on Sunday night in Bridgeview, which means that they'll wear them in the league two straight games with Galaxy up next.

Save on luggage by bringing only one jersey instead of two, page 188 of the Ali book of knowledge.

Don't understand why the front office has to lie, if you don't want a red kit say it, if you don't want a third kit say it. Cause now another RB affiliate has a red kit and the lie about not having a third kit was because we weren't selling kits last year and at the time Sasha and BWP were both in the top 20 sellers.

Is that Roy Miller?  :P

 

On a serious note.  Why does ESPNFC.com have nothing on RB Leipzig?

That jersey looks pretty sweet.  I still do not understand how we don't have a red jersey.  When they've asked the crowd to wear red for games at RBA (can't remember which games exactly), I've had to wear other non-red bull jerseys that are red (my red switzerland or red czech republic jersey).  I often buy red jerseys of miscellaneous teams on sale at various soccer jersey sites for that reason.  So, make a red jersey or I'll keep buying jerseys of other teams.  That red jersey would look pretty sweet even if it had the larger red bull sponsor. 

MAKE RED BULL RED AGAIN!

At the last town hall MdG said there are no plans for a third red jersey in the future but don't quote me on that as I am unsure of the exact wording.

Really beating that dead horse here but...

Adidas deal with MLS would make clubs pay for the production of a third jersey and has different profit sharing on the sales of those jerseys, so I get the reason they don't do it. Plus, we barely wear a second kit, nevermind 3rd kit. Nike does not stipulations, hence the third jersey is a "why not?". Plus Bundesliga does not want "Red Bull" mentioned at all. Can't even call the team the Red Bulls. So product placement hasn't really worked out in Germany.

The red Adidas templates for the MLS team have been turned down since 2006 due to the logo not standing out as much as it did with the white jersey in the 06 jersey. When Adidas presents the white option with red sleeves and the logo jumps out and gives you the red option, you bet they are going to take the one where the logo pops.

Yep, it's common sense that RB's main appeal is to market the brand and not the team.

The best thing about our away jerseys every year is that they don't show sweat as badly when you wear them in the stands during the annual July afternoon 100 degree F game. That's pretty much the reason I own one.
