You can see the vision here. The Miami Dolphins colors are cool. The Miami Vice font is even cooler. It just feels like something is missing.
It's not a bad jersey by any stretch, but, compared to the others on this list, it just isn't quite as unique. Maybe a bigger splash of orange would have made this kit feel a little better. Lionel Messi will wear this, though, so it'll sell boatloads.

The font is so Los Angeles, so bonus points for that. The placement of the writing is also fun. However, the rest of it doesn't quite pop enough to capture the Hollywood vibe.
The earth tones are comforting, but not flashy. Given LAFC's usual all-black look, it would have been cool for them to take a big swing. They did do that with their road jersey but, even so, this third kit is the perfect opportunity to do something a bit more fun.

This is a fun mix of old school and new school, and that's what makes this such a good kit.
There's plenty there for the legacy Galaxy fans, who can compare this kit favorably with the OG jerseys. It pulls off the half-and-half well, too, which earns some bonus points.
Unfortunately, though, it just isn't quite the best of the bunch, which is why this kit fits right in at third.
MLS2Portland Timbers
This looks like every small town's Little League jersey, and, for that, we love it.
This is as American as it gets. It's the hot dog of kits. Everything about it is also simply and classy, too. It has a good colorway, the badge fits adn the font is extraordinary. To sum it all up, this is a clean, clean soccer jersey.
There's history to it, too. The kit pays homage to Clive Charles, one of the first Black player in the English premier League and a former Timbers star that helped pave the way for what was to come in Portland.
