    Does Eastside have any history of strong girls teams at HS level?

      I also assumed the Timbers would them but never thought Eastside.

Most saw it for the ridiculousness that it is - Eastside is really going to expect every female player to buy an entirely new kit to be Nike, regardless of when their last kit was purchased. Just so they can call themselves "Thorns." Unbelievably stupid.
        I think most clubs are buying new kits this next year, Nike or not.

          Your Eastside DOC may be telling you that but it's untrue. Clubs buy uniforms on an odd/even year pattern. So half of the Eastside teams were not due to buy uniforms this year but will be required to with this change from Adidas to Nike. But hey it's only money right?

            Not at Eastside. Our club replaces kits for everyone every two years, and this year it's time for new kit.

              So the u11 teams that start the year you aren’t buying uniforms - what do they wear?

                They buy kit mid-cycle. It works...

                  Never saw this coming.
                  This is a big day in gender equality - east county has always struggled with gender identity and they finally get that their girls are really young women - amazing!

                    Someone specify exactly the changes that will be made..

                    New name. New uniform.

                    Same coaches. Same fields. Same league. Same teams.

                    in exchange for

                    Thorns having access to fields that Eastside built for THEIR members in prime hours using half a field each team......

                    Thorns cutting the head off of eastsides teams every year gathering their players...

                    I suppose the new uniform is worth it..

                      I assumed something like this would happen eventually.

                        Is this just the girls or the boys too?

                          Better check on that one. If Eastside's contract is up with adidas and adidas doesn't have first option for renewal, then the club can enter into a new contract with Nike. Thorns FC has a Nike contract. Eastside Thorns is not the same thing. All TA girls programs were not offered this option. Clubs know what a breach of contract means for them.

                              Eastside Thorns is the new Thornz Asylum GDA program? Not surprised Peregrine ditched that loser so fast...
