Inverted wingers are the worst thing to ever happen to #NYCFC

As if it’s not already 😂 Has dude not seen noideasports, sofive, nj coed sports, nj play sports ? Been around for a while now

This was OBVIOUSLY coming for @MLS 3.0 and #NYCFC... "MLS believes it has a “‘situation where between domed stadiums and warmer-climate facilities, we can play a disproportionate number of games in those markets,’ in the winter, ‘and limit the home matches for those in the northern climates, and then reverse that process when we get into extreme heat months such as July and August.’” - @thegoalkeeper sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2026/…

@MichaelBattista @Battle4NY Better than paying absurd price for the cosmos bullshit jersey of a team that’s been killed and resurrected 4 times already

@_BTSPod @Battle4NY Ok you’re paying triple digits for a reserve team, division III jersey.

It’s actually super nice. Very clean. Not work $100 though. Now for the love of god Red Bull New York let me buy a kit from the defending MLS NEXT Pro champions. #RBNY #NYCFC

@MichaelBattista How long did metro play in a football stadium ?

Pele played soccer in the 1970s #NYCFC have played in a temporary baseball stadium for a decade plus. Took long enough for them to get a stadium built. There’s no comparison.

@MichaelBattista @Battle4NY $99 + minimal tax and S&H so much more worth it than the shit ass jersey cosmos are selling at an extreme markup in stadium only These NYCFC II kits are fire & cult favorites Cosmos jerseys template used by youth clubs

@_BTSPod @Battle4NY Yeah because shipping or taxes won’t be a thing ok champ.

@scottchurchson When will people realize that we never use the transfer money on player acquisition of a new player

Rumors say Nico Fernández Mercau could command 20 million Euros (23 million US) during the summer Xfer window. If you're #NYCFC, do you take that deal?

@MichaelBattista @Battle4NY The cosmos kits are ugly generic template Capelli which is a low level manufacturer being charged inordinate about for NYCFC II kits are 🔥🔥🔥 and by adidas for under $100

@_BTSPod @Battle4NY The cosmos and NYCFC are both gouging their fans. The Cosmos are releasing multiple special edition kits this year, with in of itself is gouging even if they might be nice. Cosmos don’t get a pass. And paying three figures for a D3 reserve team kit is wild.

Once upon a time at New York City...

Bullshit, mark

@john_santoro Wasn’t expecting much. I’m unsure why they think we want gear that specifically mentions city member status. I went with the glass, but the hat is also good I suppose. Gear with the normal branding is fine, just make it exclusive.

@CoreyClayton @john_santoro @NYCFCHelp With it being on the seam like that there is no way in hell it’s screen printed

@john_santoro Wondering if that "dad cap" is embroidered or screenprinted. No details on any of the items on that :-( @NYCFCHelp, any help plz?

The City Member gifts for 2026 have gone live Options include a scarf, hat, crossbody bag, commemorative ticket, rocks glass, and a water bottler #NYCFC

@MichaelBattista @Battle4NY Extra 60 bucks per jersey for some cheap ass shiny lettering and numbering ? Miss me with that too

@_BTSPod @Battle4NY The special edition is $160. The standard is like $95. Even that is expensive for a D3 team, especially with how plain the primary was before the sponsor. The secondary is way nicer. It’s also not a reserve team.

@MichaelBattista @Battle4NY What about the cosmos selling capelli bullshit jersey for $160 ?

@_BTSPod @Battle4NY It’s a division III reserve team jersey.

@JDNalton $99 for a jersey is a pretty good price considering its adidas If you want to throw shade call out the @NYCosmos for charging $160+ for a damn generic ugly capelli kit

I like these NYCFC II shirts. No sponsor and a pigeon instead of a club badge. Just a shame they cost $99.

@autto421 Showing the multiple categorical failures of the FO with $$$ decisions doesn’t help your point It doesn’t detract from him making cameos being paid too well

@_BTSPod Lol. We've paid multiple DPs more for less my guy(s)

Talles does 1 good thing dribbling the ball and all of a sudden people are high on Talles’ abilities He’s a selfish player with below average soccer skills #NYCFC #NewYorkCityFC 🗽

@ForzaNY22 @autto421 Taty was a winger until he wasn’t Don’t hate, appreciate

@_BTSPod @autto421 Lol at best he’s an attacking midfielder, but I will gladly take his production until they find a real striker

#NYCFC thoughts nobody asked for as I commute home. Still missing a true #9 showing we can hang with one of the ✌🏾top teams✌🏾 in MLS. 1. Love a 1pm kickoff. I'm going to actually have time to cook and do things once I get home 2. Stadium has been pretty well filled this -

@autto421 DP player coming off the bench is a hefty pay check for 25 minute cameos

@_BTSPod I didn't watch Corinthians. So I can't argue with you there. But he's here. His teammates seem to have forgiven him. And Pascel is giving him playing time. So we'll just to have to see if you are indeed correct.
