it just feels like an opportunity lost to display some personality, either of the teams or the cities they're based in.
They could do more with a blue/white shirt if they didn't want to expand costs than just have the logo screen printed on it a few times.

If they are the same base jersey, I wish they did more to differentiate them - maybe arm/neck trim, sleeves, numbers, or side panels that match each teamâs primary color?
With the team logos already being indecipherable, and with the teams playing at neutral sites, the color difference would be really helpful for visually knowing who is who.
It screams of aesthetic over functionality. Iâm not mad at it, I just wish these things were considered if theyâre trying to expand the viewership. Brand recognition is everything nowadays.

if nothing else, it could be worse Iâd honestly rather have them be walking billboards than every jersey being the same across the board. Part of a pro team or any sports team is having your own colors, mascot and name to represent. This all feels very âeveryone gets a medalâ sort of deal. |

JWO is wearing the white version. I hope that eventually they can each get a jersey with their teamâs âlogo colorâ as the primary color but wouldnât be surprised if they all start out with navy and white with just the actual logos being where their individual colors come in. yeah that would actually make sense for a first year organization from a cost POV. Probably easier/more effective to get the same blanks for every jersey with different prints than it would to get custom color jerseys per team with custom prints If finances are so tight that they need to only buy one color of jersey for budgetary reasons, that's a MAJOR problem. This had to be an aesthetic choice. |

I canNOT imagine it was much more expensive to print the same jerseys, just in different colors that match the logo colors.
Madison: light blue
Salt Lake: yellow
Omaha: green
Austin: purple
Houston: blue
Atlanta: pink
all jerseys could have the LOVB blue accents if they want kumbaya
(just realized KRook wouldâve stayed pink!)

I feel like there have to be alt colors (at least white/inverse) because it would be awkward to have 2 teams play in uniforms with an identical colorway JWO is wearing the white version. I hope that eventually they can each get a jersey with their teamâs âlogo colorâ as the primary color but wouldnât be surprised if they all start out with navy and white with just the actual logos being where their individual colors come in. Yeah, one team will probably wear blue and the other will wear white except for their respective liberos, which will be the opposite. |

This had to be an aesthetic choice. Well outside of cost and ease of production.. From their marketing and messaging I'm assuming they are aiming for getting fans of the league as a whole in the early year/s, so the jerseys all being similar would align with that strategy. (This is all just speculation) |

Madison: light blue Salt Lake: yellow Omaha: green Austin: purple Houston: blue Atlanta: pink all jerseys could have the LOVB blue accents if they want kumbaya (just realized KRook wouldâve stayed pink!) It would not be more expensive. With each design (ie city logo), there would be a price. But sublimated jerseys expense would usually be per logo ⌠not the variety of designs. This was a decision because ⌠itâs not a league? Itâs a showcase for aging players? Itâs kumbaya? They got too busy to design while at the Olympics and vacationing? They want people to be fans of league and not cities or teams or players or stadiums. So their advertising is for the league. And their uniforms are for the league. |

Iâm still super excited about any pro VB in the US despite the subdued uniform choices. If eventually we can develop players in the US and affiliate them with clubs, I think it does improve national team development in the long run. I like the LOVB model from that perspective, but it is a huge miss on growing the general interest of the sport. PVF marketing will draw in smaller market cities by having a local pro team. LOVB branding is so homogenous, itâs a miss on growing the professional fan base. I would have really liked to see different base colors in the very least. US pro-sports love the logo and the brand. If you are going to grow the sport and increase revenue to compete with international salaries, then you also have to grow the fan bases. You have to do a better job of marketing to the masses. You canât be stuck in your VB ivory tower. LOVB, still comes across as sterile and aloof relative to PVF. I donât know maybe that is what they are going for? In an ideal world the best of both leagues would come together. The energizing PVF individual team branding and support of club players. Having gone to a Grand Rapid Rise game, they are doing a great job of bringing in the general sports fans. They do a really nice job of reaching out to the community and making the community feel like they own the team. Lovb is not focused on the community but rather the clubs, so they are missing out on bringing in more community members at least so far. Silver lining, At least there is pro volley ball and at least the jerseys arenât walking billboardsâŚ.beggers canât be choosers and I will support my local pro volleyball team regardless.

(This is all just speculation) I'm not at all familiar with European sports club models, but I always thought that they were fans of the team first, not the league as a whole. I also don't like entangling clubs with the pro leagues, feels very 'rich get richer' but that might be my bias as a small club who struggles to get respect and is having trouble getting his girls into tournaments where they would play well, but all the big clubs suck up the slots/housing before we can even get a chance. Freaking stay to play. |

looks like the blue will be the home, white will be the away based on the wording here
