RSL not restocking the Black Diamond kit

Went to the team store a few hrs before the match on Saturday to find them completely sold out of jerseys for adults and was told to order online. The online story was sold out as well when I went to check.

I got around to calling the team store back today and they relayed they will not be producing any more of the black diamond kits.

That’s so dumbfounding to me. Besides the literal free money the club and MLS would be printing, don’t we have three more matches we’ll be wearing these at? To me it seems super shortsighted - the reception of these kits were overwhelmingly positive. At least produce one more run of them and state they’ll be limited.

Shame on me for not acting quicker, but still, feels like a repeat of the USMNT stripes jerseys this summer during the WC…how is it 2026 and it’s apparently still this difficult to forecast and produce enough to meet demands for jerseys?

If there’s any RSL admins out there…bring em back!

Quarterfinal match to be hosted at Dick’s in CO

Why on earth would we play a neutral site game against a completely different country’s team at our rival’s stadium? Besides the “because it’s a dumb tournament” answer, does anyone know of an actual reason behind this? Even if this was a money-driven decision, I can’t imagine how they expect to make more in Colorado than here at the Riot.

Theory: MLS encouraged Poch to drop Luna in order to tank his summer transfer options and keep him in the MLS

We all know the Federation and MLS are not above the ulterior motive, so here’s a theory:

- a decision had to be made between Luna / Reyna
- MLS doesn’t want one of their star youngsters to leave for Europe the second he catches fire. They probably hate that’s the expectation for young, breakout MLS player anyways.
- MLS goes to Poch to lobby Reyna’s inclusion on that basis and Poch does what he’s told one way or another

If Luna goes to WC, has one or two moments, he’s definitely out of Utah before we pick the season back up.

If Luna stays home, well, RSL knows the value they hold with Luna and refuse to let him go for anything but top dollar especially since they know they can most likely get that from Gozo even without a WC cap.

Best case for MLS out of this play is that Luna stays at RSL for at least another year. They can still market the daylights out of our guy (like we’ve seen and many others have mentioned). And they get to say the MLS is retaining young global talent.

Yeah, it’s out there for sure. Probably not even the most likely scenario. But let’s not pretend the Federation nor MLS have any hope for the USMNT this WC. I bet they see escaping the group stage as a massive victory. They can do that with Reyna on the bench. Having absolute dawgs like Luna is how we squeak out even more wins. But they’d rather prioritize MLS profits and image.
