If they’re real, they’re spectacular.
A snapshot of what looks like the next uniform of the Vancouver Whitecaps has leaked online. It’s a look that should make a number of Whitecaps supporters very happy, as it contains the coveted “hoop” from the team’s pre-MLS days.

The Whitecaps reveal a new uniform every winter, as their jerseys run on a two-year cycle. They unveiled a new steel-grey uniform last season, meaning that a white jersey will be released in 2019.
