Every now and then someone tasked with posting for-sale merchandise to an online retailer’s website slips up and publishes something they’re not supposed to.
Such an instance took place on Saturday, as a number of brand new, unreleased 2015 Major League Soccer jerseys were leaked by online fan shop Fanatics.com. Before the jerseys were pulled from the site, the Twitterati were sure to right-click-save a number of the new shirts and post them to Twitter (in varying degrees of quality), where they shall live forever.
Among them were the Portland Timbers’ primary jersey, Toronto FC’s primary jersey, the Vancouver Whitecaps’ primary jersey, Sporting Kansas City’s primary jersey and more.

Quick-fire thoughts on the above shirts: Timbers — don’t love it, very retro; TFC — extremely bland, especially without a shirt sponsor; Sporting KC — absolute class, will look stellar on sculpted, professional athletes; Crew — not bad, simple, provides a clean slate going forward with the new brand; Whitecaps — needs…more going on.
Regular jersey-leaking site FootyHeadlines.com posted a rumored leak of the New England Revolution’s new secondary jersey, which is a huge leap from the club’s typically reserved look.
