FRISCO - It's that time of year! The 2018 FC Dallas primary kit is set to be revealed on Friday, Feb. 2 and we're counting down in the days leading up with a couple sneak peeks of the new threads.

BLUE. SOCKS. While the red shorts weren't a departure from the past, the navy blue socks are for FC Dallas. We've seen royal blue as the main color and also mixed in on a white-based sock with the secondary kit, but the switch to a fully navy blue sock with the primary kit is something that the club has never done before.
The red and white striping at the top of the sock pay homage to the traditional hoops on kits of the past while leading forward into a whole new era of FCD.

Nothing terribly breaking with the all-red shorts, but we've got to start it slow.
With the previous primary kit, the white shorts were the main pairing, but red shorts made their appearance on occasion. This year's edition of the all-reds do not feature the blue trim at the bottom of the leg as in the past, but rather feature a solid pattern with the traditional adidas three white strips
The biggest change with the shorts in 2018 is the new adidas performance Climacool fabric technology which makes the fabric exceptionally breathable and wicks moisture away from the body. If you look closely, you can see the fabric pattern of the new, lighter material.
