... said it took about one year and 200 different potential jersey designs before the organization chose its new MLS look that was modeled Thursday by Whitecaps players Martin Nash and Kara Lang.
The primary uniform is all-white with “deep sea” blue trim and horizontal stripes that represent water lines. The Bell and team logos are on the jersey front while the back collar features the words “Since 1974” — a tribute to the Whitecaps’ first season in the old North American Soccer League.
The secondary uniform is predominantly deep sea blue with white trim.
One year of design work, hmmm? Oh yeah, kind of like painting the Sistine Chapel. 200 designs, hmmm? One would think there might have a good one amongst the 200.
Horizontal stripes that "represent water lines." Not to my eye, they don't. LOL Water lines, huh? Is British design stuck on abstract art themes? Do they think simplifying to a mind-numbing level is artistic?
And they got some marketing guys to write the words that sound like a waiter proudly describing the main courses at an expensive restaurant. ... "deep sea blue with white trim" ... yummy.
The front of the white uniform looks like an overly long child's bib, even covering the private parts in case of accident. One can not really see that rigid, sharply-pointed, little Whitecaps logo above the heart, and that is just as well. The BELL letters on the front overwhelm everything else, loudly, like a gong.
It's kind of fun trying to write like a mean-spirited art critic.
Oh yeah, here are the uniforms ...
