Flower of Scotland at Hampden is like nothing else.

Big month in blue for #VWFC. 5 matches in a row in blue for just the third such time (others two times were to start 2020, and in mid-2014).

Haha oh wow! That is low stock. Those new alternates next year are going to MOVE!

#VWFC in blue again tonight. Last time they wore “not white” at home twice in a row, the final game of 2019 (grey) and the first game of 2020 (blue)

Big fan of this Mouloud Akloul jersey at BC Place tonight. #VWFC

Interesting note in the Southsiders Discord that due to scheduling, the last time #VWFC played the Philadelphia Union was in 2019.

I looked into it and since the last match against the Union, the 'Caps have face LAFC 22 times across all competitions.

I think you guys will really enjoy the 2nd story in this episode, a story about planting fake transfer stories in the media. Starts about the 38 min mark. @aftn.bsky.social @zacharyam.bsky.social

Would have been at least 7 matches if he was playing under BC Soccer jurisdiction. I could have sworn that a 1st offence back in ~2010 was 6-months but I’m not sure.

Technically with the Leagues Cup games too, it’s 9, but we all know that’s not getting served. I think this sets a bad precedent.

Grabbed a copy on opening night and have really been enjoying it! Great work!

The story mentions 23/24 home, the “bloodlines” shirt. I think those may have been gone already. These were the away tops that were originally released in 2022 and replaced by the “50” shirt last season.

I was in the Gastown shop yesterday and they’ve resorted to selling 2022/2023 away kits. I guess there were some extras. $199 with “Müller 13” on the back.

The new @whitecapsfc.com signings have been assigned kit numbers.

Check out who has worn them before! #VWFC

List of players who have worn number 15 for the Whitecaps with Sebastian Schonlau being the most recent.

List of players who have worn number 23 for the Whitecaps with Joedrick Pupe being the most recent.

Game in, game out, Tristan Blackmon just consistently puts a perfectly placed ball on a platter for his teammates. #VWFC

...then no blue at all this week for the #VanCanadians.

Updated jersey tracker attached.

Iain @iainmchugh.bsky.social · Aug 5

Very nice even symmetry for the amount of wears for the core jerseys for the #VanCanadians. Let's try to see the blues for the next 5 in a row?

Iain @iainmchugh.bsky.social · Jul 29

The #VanCanadians ran out in their lumberjack jerseys for the final time on Saturday night and rounded it off with an amazing extra innings walk-off HR!

Iain @iainmchugh.bsky.social · Jul 26

I imagine if it happens, we’ll get 500+ “It’s Müller Time” posts. #VWFC

Iain @iainmchugh.bsky.social · Jul 23

The #VanCanadians are now up to 9 jerseys worn on the season! Barring any surprises, that should be all for 2025.

Iain @iainmchugh.bsky.social · Jul 17

The last time (and first time) that #VWFC won in Houston, Kei Kamara opened the scoring and Brek Shea got the winner. And the 'Caps were in their unity greys.

Iain @iainmchugh.bsky.social · Jul 17

This is the first time in 13 matches that #VWFC have scored 3 goals in Houston. Previously, they have scored 2 twice, 1 W & 1 L.

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

"A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol. What a marvelous moment for baseball. What a marvelous moment for Atlanta and the state of Georgia. What a marvelous moment for the country and the world.”

Thanks for that clarification. Had thought it was for the foul and could not understand how that was enough for a booking.
