Thunder, Aztex Kits — Separated At Birth?
Watching the Carolina Railhawks playing the Minnesota Thunder Friday night (beating them 2-1), I was struck by a kind of déjà vu when I saw Minnesota's home jerseys. Notice any similarities?
That grainy picture on the left is a screenshot of the USLlive video feed, because oddly enough, I couldn't find photos anywhere on the web of that Thunder jersey. All the pictures I found were solid blue, like this.
Notice the sponsor is different. Maybe that's the whole explanation right there?
In any case, the similarity between the blue and red striped jerseys isn't really that surprising. When you see the back, you might remember that Aztex sponsor & jersey provider Soccer USA has locations in another place besides Austin: the Twin Cities, Minneapolis-Saint Paul.
