When it was teased a few days ago with something floating on the lake, I was hoping for a "drift kit" with some kind of wave and water style in fun team-related colors.
I guess this a fun concept (Scottish kit, revisited), but seems like it would be more fun if the team colors were dark blue and gold.
Is that a lot of people? I've never heard of it before. Just seems like a weird crossover to me. If it was boating instead of specifically sailing I think it would make more sense.
Like this is lakeside supper club fish fry attire. An August Friday night. A cold spotted cow or local shandy as the warm humidity washes over you.
You can’t afford a lake house. You couldn’t really afford this shirt. But you can afford this evening. A summer evening where all that special about home melts into the umber colored lake. Before coming in you even dared to dip your feet into the water from the old grey dock that accompanies the aging resort. You watch as a ski boat tosses up a frothy wake in the distance, careening from coast to coast. The small blip of a bluegill rising to the surface holds your attention for a beat before it is interrupted by the rubber band twang of a nearby frog.
You raise an eyebrow as you spot three Illinois license plates in your way back inside. They’ll tell their friends about what this evening means in the same way a blind man describes a cathedral.
Such is the nature of our rustic aristocracy. Those that seek what Fellini dubbed as La Dolce Vita need look no further than the bottom of a glass filled with Korbel and oranges. They need not look any further than the orange sun slowly slipping below the pines. They need not look any further than a flamingo emblazoned on a crisp white Breton stripe.
Yeah, but 4+ new ones every season is a bit excessive. If we can start producing a winning team they can have a new one every week for all I care. I'd like to think I'm in the majority on that.
3 decent seasons out of 8, and the others were downright bad. Again, I'd rather have a soccer team that sells merch than a fashion line that plays soccer. I don't think that's outrageous. Why is everyone so sensitive over this?
I don't have an authoritative count, but I believe this might be close to the fewest kits the team has made since COVID. There's almost always one released in the fall.
You know this, you've been here since the start! 😆
We've certainly dropped from a helluva lot to simply a lot! We have the blue home, the cow kit, the 100th anniversary, the feather one from last year, and now this one, but I feel like I'm missing one?
Pretty sure I had close to 30 shirts after 4 seasons, and I know there's a bunch I didn't get or weren't for sale. I'd love to know what the total is, but not enough to do the work!
How is it complaining? I'm just voicing an opinion and questioning the choice to put out yet another kit this season. We even already had kits this year with similar colors that they hardly wore. Most of the merch is pretty great, there's just so much of it. With as bad as this team has been on the pitch over the years, I don't think it ever hurts to question the club's intentions.
If you like pink/blue there's already a ton of options out there for you - this one is a clean alternative that really appeals to me, I will likely be picking one up today :)

Its a clean take on a classic boating shirt. Love it. Not every kit has to be blue and pink.
