First, the good news. In less than a year, we get the Vancouver Whitecaps‘ 2018 kit launch.
The Whitecaps held a season launch party on Monday. Fans in attendances were treated to the reveal of the 2017 kit. Dubbed the ‘Rain Jersey’, the new jersey is covered in blue triangles to represent the rain that is so common in Vancouver. According to the detailed explanation provided on the Whitecaps website, they wanted to “embrace the rain” which “unites us”, because “we don’t hide inside”.
One problem: the Whitecaps are the only MLS team that puts a roof over their field every time it rains.
