Latest Pickups:
Emina Ekic - Racing Louisville 2021 Home
Louisville is one of my favorite cities in the South( top of my head.... 1. Atlanta, 2. Memphis, 3. Louisville), so when they got an NWSL team, I had to get their inaugural home jersey. Who better to get than the local kid.
Gerard Moreno - Villarreal 20/21 Home
Used my seam ripper to remove the replica La Liga patch and have some Europa League/Respect badges on the way.
Atlanta United 2021 Pride Pre-Match
Atlanta United 2021 PrimeBlue
So why do I have two PrimeBlue ATL jerseys? TLDR: Adidas/MLS contract blows. I really wish individual teams could just negotiate their own contract deals. Yeah the San Jose and New England's would get crap deals, but I really am tired of the Adidas mess. This whole sleeve nonsense makes no sense. On the authentics, you get either an MLS badge or sometimes a blank sleeve. When the players have a secondary sleeve sponsor. I talked with a retail manager(or someone up there, don't know their exact position), and the team was blocked from selling versions with the second sleeve sponsor. Authentic isn't authentic if it doesn't look like what the players wear. With the PrimeBlue jersey, I ordered one from Fanatics. It came with no sponsor/no MLS badge. When I saw the jerseys that were purchased from the Team Store had an MLS badge on them, I thought it might be because thats how the game version would be so I found someone looking to sell a team store version(luckily at retail). Then they play the game.....no MLS badge, but the normal two sponors....
Anyways, I will get the one customized to Erik Lopez and maybe if I am lucky source some sponors. I'll keep the MLS badge one blank and a collector's item I guess.
Atlanta United 2021 GK Home
With most likely no Open Cup to give Kann or someone else some burn, I will probably keep this one blank like I did with last years. More Adidas/ MLS complaints..... Look at that, no sponsors. Another dumb adidas rule. Teams cannot sell or add a star to the GK jerseys. Yet the ones players wear have the star. Just why? Also teams with USL second teams that share the same name can't sell jerseys for those teams. I have found it almost impossible to get a match worn ATL UTD 2 jersey. If there is anyone out there that can get me one, DM me.
