While no stranger to Toronto FC home openers, this season's kickoff at BMO Field will be extra special for Mark Hinkley.
While no stranger toHinkley, a Day 1 TFC season ticket-holder, helped come up with the MLS team's new home kit.president Bill Manning was a guest on The Vocal Minority, a podcast Hinkley has long been involved with.
As a kid, he used to read Shoot magazine, which had a jersey sales section. A relative going to England helped start his collection with a few bargain-priced shirts ."It's just been kind of growing. As adulthood comes along, there's no one to tell you you can't spend your money on It. It's just been growing ever since."Hinkley, who lives in Burlington, Ont., used to attend Hamilton Steelers games back in the day and has Forge FC season tickets as well as TFC.
Hinkley soon learned coming up with a new uniform is more than a simple design. It's about capturing a feeling. In trying to explain his vision, Hinkley went to YouTube and found a video of the drum in action. He got an audio waveform of the sound, took a picture of it, turned it into a graphic and submitted it, saying, "This is what I was thinking."
"The two years is to make sure they get made," said Hinkley, who saw the finalized version some 14 months after starting the process.
