Official shots of new RSL kit released, and it’s not as bad as we thought

You know our reaction to the leak of Real Salt Lake’s new kit last week? Well, things aren’t quite as bad as they seemed.

The club posted two photos on Twitter today, and we’ve got to say, it looks better on a person than on a mannequin. That’s probably inevitable. But there are also details on the kit that we didn’t see before.

Take a look for yourself:
