Meh - #RugbyFCLA
Dark blue logos look good on the chest but seams change to light blue. The yellow doesn't really work without the blue, and what is that pattern? The dots start random then move to vague lines before fading completely? What were #LA even going for?

Similar to #RFCLA's 2024 away kit. The light blue remains but the 'wave' effect is gone, replaced with...static? the blue & yellow make me think of #LA 's beaches and the darker blue logos and seams do pop, but it's a step backwards from the dark blue of 2024
