Does 2010 have an edge on 1996 when it comes to style in MLS?

By Eric Beard, writing from Boston

Though Major League Soccer will be entering its 16th season when Spring 2011 rolls around, it’s fair to say the league has come a long way. Not simply in trying to break down the perennial American mindset against the beautiful game, but rather trying to be accepted by mainstream media. The Kansas City Wizards (now Sporting KC) definitely were not 15 years ago with their “Rainbow Kits.” The controversial “snood” is, for whatever reason, the trending topic these days, but style can kill sales and even form on the pitch. Just ask poor, pink Everton.

So how far the league has come? Some have progressed while others truly lag behind.
