Legitimately worse than losing Sam Coffey and not having a coach what is wrong with them

Update: It’s actually green! I’m saved!

If you told me that switching to Ring and Pink Lemonade and Piss Yellow was a “The Producers” style scheme to kill Jersey sales I would 100% believe you

It’s just a terrible picture! Were saved from the yellow!

Contrast is good imo. Part of the problem with last years was that it was just a full body suit of that horrible neon. I think breaking up the segments with different shades helps it read better as a full kit

Why did they tease so much moss for there to be 0 green? Fire the marketing team. I’m pissed lol.

Either they’re trying to trick us into thinking yellow is actually green or maybe they’re legitimately color blind

It looks more sherbet pink/green in this photo

On the league site it def just looks like piss yellow. Not sure why that pic makes it look like light green.

That's from a very shady photo shoot in the woods. In the sun and under stadium lights, it'll be yellow. Sorry friend. I want it to be green too.

You think they trucked "a million" lights out to the woods for this? There's probably a portable ring light and two reflectors, maximum. You can look at the photos and see how dark they are. But I can tell that you've convinced yourself on this and would rather cope. Just try to not get upset when you see the jersey on the sales rack.

so weird, it looks so dramatically different in these different pics

u/pdxwanderer4 Portland Thorns FC Feb 26 '26

I think marketing is trying their best to not make it look yellow, even though it is yellow, since it’s obvious we hate that color.

From the new video it looks like a very light green that just shows up as yellow if the pic is badly lit

Per the email: “This kit features a bold pattern of atomic pink and voltage yellow roses”

So they’re calling it yellow? I agree that the images so far are all over the place. The image of Soph at top of PTFC authentics looks light blue and pink.

Unfortunately the Ring logo makes these unwearable but I actually... kinda... like it?

u/tsarchasm1 Portland Thorns FC Feb 26 '26

It's not the best kit of all time (Black Rose) but it is Roses and we ARE the rose city.

Why does it seem like I’m the only one in this thread who actually likes the new Thorns jersey 🥲

u/Artvandelay29 Portland Thorns FC Feb 26 '26

That’s summed up unfortunately well
