The Los Angeles Galaxy revealed their latest third kit on Saturday, picking a design from fan Carlos Rodriguez, who won a contest through Facebook and the LA Galaxy.
The design is said to be a throwback to the inaugural season of Galaxy soccer, featuring the green, red, and yellow of the Los Angeles city flag. The uniform will be debuted on August 17 against Real Salt Lake.
What do you make of the kit? Like it? Think it’s awful?

Africa Arise! This kit is terrible. It looks like it was designed by a chimp. I don’t get the color combination. I
Green and red are complimentary. Black and gold are complimentary. Green and red and black and gold smooshed together is insulting.
Black complements anything because it’s a tone not a color. It’s the mixture of primaries, red and yellow, combined with a secondary using the opposite end of the color wheel that makes it so aesthetically unpleasant. I had the same reaction when I first saw RSL’s violet/red/yellow kits, but those are slightly better because the warmest color (yellow) is complemented and so is balanced out more to the eye.
Agreed. It looks like a crayola box nightmare.
The shirt is black, green, red, and yellow, with “herb” on it, and SBIers are flipping out because they think it evokes Mexico? People, I think you’ve got “Mexican” and “Rastafarian” mixed up.
If this is the winner of the contest, I’d hate to see the runner-up.
Aussie Rules Football jersey….with sleeves…Adelaide FC shud be suing
Mexico hombre
Did Galaxy receive a mislabled shipment of El Tri gear headed for Tijuana?
aaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha
“fan designed”? but fans of who and what? in any case, they’re surely not fans of good taste.
Oops, link didn’t work. Just google for an image of Coloradao Caribous Shirt.
Bad, but at least not as bad as the worst short of all-time:

MLS has come a long way if it can look back and embrace the ugly and stupid of the mid-90s.
Yikes… Well, at least it’s just the 3rd kit. They won’t wear this one too often, unless there was a quota in the contest…
Makes me wonder if Taco Bell will be the new sponsor.
It would be perfect if it was a soccer onesy!
Some may disagree with me, but I think it’s good
This has to be one of the worst kits I’ve EVER seen. This ranks right up there with the 1994 US World Cup kit. Simply an awful combination of colors that clash horribly. WHAT was Adidas thinking when they said “Yeh, looks good. Let’s go with this.”
Lol when has a new kit release been accepted by the general soccer going populace. People usually have one of two reactions: I dont like change, I think it sucks; or, he said he doesnt like change and it sucks, therefore thats what I think too.
To me its not that bad though I have to admit its pretty close to Mexico. But so what. Every kit in MLS is close to some other kit somewhere else.
I am digging it. Well done LA, fashion monsters!
It’s pretty ugly. I know the yellow is there to preserve a smidgen of the Galaxy brand, but it really makes it look like a child coordinated the color scheme. It’s just bad all around.
I think it’s a great look.
Somebody confused throwback with throwup…
These kits would fit in at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Cool. I’ll be able to get it at Ross in 2 months for $20
I love the idea that they let a fan design it.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t a Galaxy fan.
Nice one
