| Top Ten things about the current MLS that annoy me. |
| 1 | Canyons | Please stop changing things just for change’s sake. Have a real valid reason or let it ride (it’s called tradition). Worst example: Rapids went to blue and black stripes. If they wanted stripes they should have switched to stripes with the old colors. Real Betis and Celtic look pretty cool in those Green and white stripes. As it is all the Colorado fans had to go out and buy all new stuff….. Oh, wait. Now I get it. |
| 2 | Change w/out Cause | Please stop changing things just for change sake. Have a real valid reason or let it ride (it’s called tradition). Worst example: Rapids went to blue and black stripes.

| 3 | Too few Chiefs | Anschutz, Hunt, Kraft…. need I say more? |
| 4 | Turf | Poor commentators, directors who don’t understand the game, play-by-play cameras showing the entire field, crappy highlight shows, replays that only show the goal and not the build up, no home game broadcasts, and former national teamers believing they have a divine right to talk… all of which is only the tip of the iceberg. |
| 5 | Bad TV | Can we get some more variety in MLS with the next expansion, please? Sometimes it seems like every team is red, blue, or black. Boo to Colorado for switching form Green. Suggestions? Orange, maroon, white, teal, and purple… heck even SKY Blue (calling KC?) would be a nice change. |
| 6 | Music During Play | Dear PA guy. The GAME IS GOING ON! Stop the dang music! |
| 7 | Red, Blue, and Black | If the two teams’ jerseys don’t match, then let the teams wear their primary color on the road. There is no need for white road jerseys. And yes, I know I suggested white above, but that was all-white all the time… like Leads or Mardid. If we didn’t have white road jerseys a team could choose to be all white. It has nothing to do with European style, it has to do with the nature of soccer. What? Having ‘road’ jerseys lets MLS sell more jerseys? How cynical of you to say that. |
| 8 | Coastal Media Bias | Oh wait, that’s not just in MLS. |
| 9 | White Road | If the two teams jerseys don’t match, then let the teams wear their primary color on the road. There is no need for white road jerseys. And yes, I know I suggested white above, but that was all-white all the time… like Leads or Mardid. If we didn’t have white road jerseys a team could choose to be all white. It has nothing to do with European style, it has to do with the nature of soccer. What? Having ‘road’ jerseys lets MLS sell more jerseys? How cynical of you to say that. |
| 10 | Family Atmosphere | Don’t get me wrong I like families, but you can have families without being anti-everything else. Don’t forget the core soccer fans. They were here first and will be here last. |
