I’ll admit, I had a little chuckle when I saw the press release this morning in my inbox about the New York Cosmos signing a “worldwide kit deal” with Umbro. For one the Cosmos are just an idea and not an actual club at the moment, and two what the hell is a worldwide kit deal anyways?
In all seriousness the kits look solid and will be available to buy later this year in time for the holidays. You’ll be able to read more about the kit and an interview with Pele himself in the November issue of of FourFourTwo.
I don’t know why the Cosmos would sign a deal with a company that doesn’t do the MLS kits if they are trying to get in to MLS down the road though. That may be the one aspect of this deal that makes the least sense though I know there will be plenty of folks that say this morning that MLS clubs should be able to pick which jersey maker does their kits.
What do you think of this though? Want one of these jerseys?
