FoxSports.com's Alex Dowd published his rankings of all 22 Major League Soccer club's 2017 jerseys on Wednesday, and Crew SC's fresh Gold primaries and Black secondaries came in No. 1 in the league.
Check out Dowd's flawless reasoning:
Columbus probably wouldn't wait to ditch last year's awful secondary kit. Fortunately, they redeemed themselves with this year's offerings. They brought back the gold home kit (with a new sponsor) and shifted last year's primary kit to the secondary shelf. It's tough to find a better pairing.
Best feature: Checkered printing accents both kits is a nice pull from the club's crest.

Crew SC will debut the No. 1-ranked Gold jerseys on Saturday in the MLS regular season opener at MAPFRE Stadium against the Chicago Fire.
MAPFRE Stadium's gates will open at 12:30 p.m. ET for Saturday's 2 p.m. ET kickoff. The first 10,000 supporters in the gates will receive a free MAPFRE Insurance Crew SC key chain, and Saturday will be the general public's first chance to purchase the club's new 2017 Primary Jersey (while limited supplies last).
