Vancouver Whitecaps vs Portland Timbers "Wardrobe-gate" Explained

During yesterday's reserve match between the Vancouver Whitecaps and the Portland Timbers , I had a chance to talk off the record with several members of the Vancouver Whitecaps staff about the kit snafu on Saturday, in which the Timbers' kits, which have a red front and a white back, clashed with the Whitecaps' all white kits. As my sources described it, each team submits its preferred kit to the league office, and the league office approves or denies. In Saturday's case the kits were submitted as the fans saw, and the league office approved the selections. But the league office clearly didn't pay enough attention to it to remember that the Timbers' red kits are white on the back. The referee, then, has the opportunity to request a uniform change at the start of the game. But this part of the process is quite problematic, because, as one source shared, each team typically prepares only one set of kits before a match. Two hours wouldn't be enough time to get a change ready, especially for the away team. The Vancouver FO source I talked to admitted that they might have been able to switch to brown, but it would have been a tremendous undertaking. As such, both teams also wore the same kits for the reserve match as they did for the first team match. It seemed to present less of a challenge to the players, though, perhaps as a result of the natural sunlight they played under, which seemed to better highlight the differences between t ...

When Martin Rennie said earlier this season that he preferred to look at his Vancouver Whitecaps with a glass half full approach, it was clear he believed in the potential of a squad struggling then to score and to get results. And so, with the 'Caps now having played 11 of 34 MLS regular-season games, perhaps it's appropriate to ask this question: Is the glass one-third full or two-thirds empty? ...
