Supposedly, tonight's temperature is supposed to fall into the high 50s, but in my room and in front of my keyboard, I am basting. I know that this will most likely be another uncomfortable evening in which little sleep is found, but I should take a moment and talk about a few things that will take my mind off this heat. For example, the new Manchester United kits for the upcoming campaign.

| From L to R: Primary | Secondary | Alternate |
First (and I know that this point has been beaten to death), what is the deal with the oversized Chevrolet logos? It is difficult enough to be sponsored by a poor car manufacturer, but now, they have emblazoned the chests of my beloved Red Devils with not only that ridiculous symbol, but the name of their company too. Anyway, in comparison to last season's primary shirt, this year's primary shirt falls short because of its lack of collar. In truth, it remains of the shirt from two campaigns ago, but now you have to button up the shirt.
Next is the secondary shirt, which I believe is the best of the three new shirts and if it were not for that ridiculous sponsor logo; I would not only purchase, but I could wear it to work.
The alternate shirt is interesting and I'm not sure if that is good or bad. The thing I find funny about this kit is that many of the Twitter accounts I follow that are primarily MLS accounts derided the shirt as one of the worst they have ever and yet, this is the same group of people that praised the Colorado Rapids secondary (or alternate--the blue Colorado flag shirt) is one of the best they have seen in the league. Oh well.
