I admit, until recently never really paid much attention to the difference in the 2. But recently its been an issue in the league
1) apparently mls has a history of only putting golden stars on authentic vs replica kits, and this made waves in the Atlanta United supporters group. (seattle got them to change this decision and allow the star on replicas)
2) this one is almost comical. FC Cincy has to wear replica kits this season vs authentic ones

I read that thread. Hopefully, ATL has some pull and can get stars on the replicas. (What about the kids!!!)
2017: 2 of the top 5 jerseys sold (can't pull top 25 info). 2018: 2 of top 5 and 5 of top 25 jerseys sold.
One-quarter of all merch sales through MLS Store are from Atlanta United.
GIVE US OUR STARS!!!

Only partially related...why can i not find AU replica shorts??? That cut of adidas shorts are my favorite (not too short, not too long, no silly excess striping). That cut of adidas shorts are hard to find in stores.
Also would love to find the same cut pair with pockets.

Have you tried Lloyds Soccer for the shorts or Soccer Locker?

Adidas does not put stars on replica jerseys, only authentics. They will have the new AU authentics for sale at the kit unveiling this Friday night at MBS.

Speaking of stars - not a fan of the new kits at all! So much for the 5 stripes!

The black on the back of the authentic kit is a nod to Tata's black sweater he used to wear draped over his back.

There are 5 red stripes on the front. Maybe there is a new sponsorship in the works with Red Stripe.
