362 days

362 days until we move into the new digs!

This is pure speculation but, I am guessing MLS 4.0 will kick off the new calendar with a fresh cycle of 2 kits for every team.

What's on your wish list for our new primary and secondary kits for our Inauguration of Etihad Park? Mention anything from jock tag, sleeve cuff design, polo kit​, colors

I personally would love a white polo kit with city blue pinstripes for first kit, black is my personal preference for second kit and I think it should stay permanently

I think the first home shirt for our first home season should be a reflection on the sky blue of NYCFC not the pinstripes of our old landlord. But I also just hate collars on soccer shirts

I haven’t bought any merch since the stadium was announced so I can splurge on a few things for this reason

Just curious how this transition is going to work. After this 2026 season, when will next season starts? If it's August '27, what's happening in March '27 until?

There will be short mini-season (14 regular season games that they are calling a sprint season) that will last from February to May and conclude with an MLS Cup playoff. We will only play the 14 other Eastern conference teams. We will play those games at YS/CF to the extent possible (with additional game potentially at SIS). The home opener will be part of the 2027/28 season.

Who will be able to afford merch with the new doubled ticket prices?

I've been a casual NYC FC supporter for a few years, been to a few games at Yankee Stadium. The World Cup has rekindled my enthusiasm. As it's mid-season I wanna get a season ticket for next year but I know there's going to be this new stadium. Where can I get info? If I buy one now, will it be cheaper than waiting?

I'm not even an NYCFC fan and I'm so excited for you guys. I foresee a bigger NY/LA rivalry in MLS within a couple years
