LA Galaxy to remove alliance program

LASTMAN14 said:
The alliance with LAG is still not determined. There is no advantage doing anything with S&S. If LAGSB decides to not renew I can see them wanting to rebrand themselves. As 3SL said, SBF would be cool.

Doesn’t solve their core issue....
 
Is there any update on the affiliates? It is around this time (start of October anyway) that clubs have already made plans for next year
 
If it does happen, the clubs should give free uniforms/backpacks to the families that stay and were forced to buy the new style uniforms/backpacks this year instead of using the same one.
 
I doubt they would change mid season but after the 1st of year and State/ Nat Cups I would bet there is going to be fewer Galaxy affiliates if any.

The “2 year uniform cycle” is a myth anyway. Kids under 14 outgrow their stuff every year. Kids over 14 wear them out and won’t be seen in public with a “gross” uniform”.

The white on white are the best, my son acutally got mutiple sets of the whites because he has some much trouble getting them clean.

He's responsible for doing all his own laundry but will try to ask his other siblings or me ocassionaly on stain removal; lots of spray& wash, pre-soak,scrubbing and make sure to do the whites separate is what I keep reminding him of, add liquid bleach if needed.

Not all kids out grow the uniform. You would hope but not always the case. What if you purchased a larger size for that purpose?
Did the kids outgrow their backpacks and soccer ball too lol?
 
Just keep using the backpack with the old club name. My kid still uses his backpack from a different club, we just too the patch off. It helps give that subtle message to everyone (within the club and at the old club) that says "We aren't afraid to look around" if we are not treated fairly. That is one of the reasons I am sad the old club stickers deteriorated so much, otherwise I would have quite the line of them across the bottom left of the rear window.

If you can keep a soccer ball for two years- you deserve some sort of medal

Get you with the pack, with regular cleaning they can last but the color difference / styles changes some kids like to match.

My players like(d) to change numbers almost every year so they rarely or have yet to wear the same jesery more than one season that I remember.

For travel matching stuff is the norm most clubs suggest: jacket, pants at a minimum but my kids been to other travel tournments where XYZ brand everything only, hats, Beenie,socks ,shoes, jacket, pants, packs, etc. XYZ sponsored so full attire with that brand with the only expection on cleats.

I'm all for buying if you or your kid wants to. But if it's forced just the get their new equipment sponsor abc.com more money, then I don't think it's right. Some may only need new shorts, or to replace that dirty white jersey. Some make actually like that dirty old jersey. Some may never wash that jersey to keep that annoying defender off them. But at least they have a choice.

Yeah with the price of some stuff like the $500 team packages at soccer.com has get you on personal choices.

Guess I'm lucky that my son plays for club associated with a manufacturer that he likes wearing anyway so those shoes, hats, pants, jackets get more than just soccer wear use.

My kid likes to wearing all that too. Just don't like things being forced on just for money. Some parents may not have money to buy new gear every year or whatever. Soccer ball yeah we need it but not for club practices and definitely don't need to buy from soccer.com or whomever.
