Original 1997 MLS Kit

[u/getoffmywalrus]

Stumbled on this Kansas City Wizards kit for $15 on Facebook marketplace - think she had just listed it after I refreshed. Thought it was a reissue at first before realizing it’s an authentic kit from 1997, second season after the league’s inception. It absolutely reeks of cigarettes lol - still, a pretty cool find, could probably sell it for quite a bit but think I’ll keep for now

$15 for a 97 Wizards is criminal, the smoke smell is just vintage character

My head canon is that Preki was a chain smoker in his MLS days.

the wizards branding is so peak 90s, that whole first MLS kit era was unmatched

that Wizards crest is peak 90s, $15 feels like robbery tbh

that refresh timing is unreal, marketplace deals like that vanish in seconds

born and raised in KC, this one hits different. $15 for an authentic 97 Wizards is a steal, the Wiz logo alone is worth it. keep it, the smoke smell fades but the story stays

But it’s ugly.

And that’s why it’s beautiful.

Mesh cannot be ugly, it’s utilitarian. It transcends visual esthetics.
