The new adidas jerseys for the new MLS season are incredible Awaiting the official start of the competition marked for 25 February

The belief that the American league is a league to be underestimated where European players go in search of the much-discussed golden pension is now buried. America in general has been paying special attention to football for quite some time now. The sport, which until a few years ago was not very popular, is on the rise on the continent and the new generation of players proves it. Many of the talents Made in the USA are literally dominating the major European leagues with their plays, those that have always been considered as the homelands of football as we know it today, and not least, the stars and stripes nation's desire to host part of the next edition of the World Cup should make us believe in their expectations. In general, therefore, there is a new air on the continent and the current numbers of the MLS franchises' quotations prove this, such as the clause in David Beckham's contract, inserted when he unexpectedly decided to go to the Los Angeles Galaxy.

The most important incentive hidden in David Beckham's contract was the possibility of buying a new MLS franchise at a fixed price of $25 million. At the time, it did not seem such an advantageous condition. That same year, Toronto FC had paid $10 million for its club as part of the league's expansion plan, but from that point on, franchise valuations skyrocketed. In 2008, the average was 37 million, in 2020 it exceeded 200 million and now hovers around 600. Despite the difficulties it faced in building the required stadium, Inter Miami CF is now already the tenth club in MLS by valuation, with a franchise value of $585 million, 2.240% more than the 25 paid by Beckham and his co-owners for the team through his contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy. Numbers that testify to the growth of the franchises that also for the new season have entrusted their aesthetics to adidas, which has not disappointed expectations. We have summarised the best creations, going from East to West Coast, in search of the best.

Los Angeles Galaxy | Away

Let's start with the team in which David Beckham played because it is undoubtedly one of the best. The away shirt designed by adidas will be in an unusual green mixed with two colours that are very famous among us Italians, the yellow and red ones, which are present on the collar, on the edges of the sleeves and on the sides that break up and give the shirt a more attractive look.

D.C. United | Away

D.C. United is an American football club based in the city of Washington, but this year it has borrowed one of Japan's most characteristic elements, the peach tree. The delicate pink flowers have in fact been translated into a graphic that looks very much like the one in 8bit, in a jersey that is basically white. Hands down perhaps one of the best, if not the best.

FC Dallas | Away

From the peach blossom we move on to another element that has made the Japan jersey one of the most desired and purchased in the world, the flames. In fact, fire will be present in the away jerseys of the Dallas team, a kit titled 'Burn Baby Burn' and referring to the fans' passion shown match after match since its foundation.

Los Angeles FC | Home

Black with a diamond pattern will be the jersey worn by an old glory of Serie A and Italian football, Giorgio Chiellini. After a great buying campaign, the Los Angeles team is now aiming to defend last year title, just as its aesthetics are getting better and better.

Miami Inter FC | Home

After adopting a pelican as the team's symbol, the home jersey of David Beckham's Miami Inter could only be pink, of course. The German brand for one of the undoubtedly coolest teams on the American scene has opted for the classic, designing a shirt with a collar, clean and elegant without any particular detail.

New York FC | Away 

The team owned by the City group is ready to go big, starting with the jersey. In fact, it could not fail to add the orange jersey spotted with a strong, bright blue and a lightning bolt bursting through and breaking up the jersey pattern.

Philadelphia Union | Away

It's all in the details instead of the Philadelphia Union away jersey. The team, which has a snake as its mascot and which is obviously present in the crest and jersey, will play with a camouflage kit that mixes beige and light blue, two colours that go very well together.

Seattle Sounders FC | Away

Scratch that, the best jersey in MLS is just that. After dedicating a jersey to one of the city's great musical icons Jimi Hendrix in past seasons, the Seattle Sounders are back with another tribute, to Bruce Lee. In fact, this year the club has decided to espouse the philosophy of the famous actor through Purpose Beyond the Pitch.

Portland Timbers | Home

Last but not least, the Portland Timbers' green jersey. A jersey that at first seemed very difficult to innovate, a challenge that adidas took up and won, producing a new and more than eye-catching one that is impossible to miss.

The jerseys are available here.
