X-Box is ten times better than Microsoft across the front of the jersey. Like PS3 instead of Sony. I’ll take that any day.

Oh, and while I’m making minor corrections… to Johnny:

Actually, adidas’ North American headquarters are in Portland, so no, not really.

You’re right that the name on the shirt will be Xbox. But the money’s coming from Microsoft.

Oh, and Xbox is the kit sponsor, not Microsoft.

Forest green = awesome. Diarrhea lime green = not so much.

But who knows, maybe it’ll look okay on the marching band, smoke machine, thundersticks, and the tarp covering 50,000+ empty seats.

Adidas is required, I believe, as all MLS shirts are Adidas.

Also, our other hobby is complaining about stuff, so the new shirt/sponsor will likely give us a lot to do…

Going with Adidas too. Could that be considered a Portland and Nike snub?

…and it can just be a plastic cup filed with sand.

A nerd-off disguised as a soccer rivalry. I bet people will for realsies get into that. Now it’s all about San Jose landing a sponsor who supports open source. So Cisco is out, Google is in, Yahoo is broke and about to be bought by *cough* Microsoft, Perhaps Sun? But I’m still holding out for Google.

That’s decided – it’s a nerdoff between San Jose and Seattle. What will they call the made-up rivalry? The Silicon Cup?
