The guy that owns the Cedar Stars clubs in NJ/NY owns Capelli, and those teams seem to get their uniforms pretty quickly :>

Rumor is SYC will ditch them and go with another vendor.
I did like the look and the lightweight feel of the materials. We were charged more for Capelli than Adidas uniforms at our former club though. The Capelli fan shirts did run very large, so sizing was an issue.
There was no customer support, no one every replied to our inquiries.
I could never get their sale coupon codes to work that I received in e-mail marketing from them.
Part of their problem was utilizing manufacturing in Bangladesh when summer strikes happen annually when the big soccer uniform rush occurs. That was a poor strategic decision on their part.

They are definitely a disaster, grew too big too fast and couldn't handle it. Once clubs get past the 2 year mark, they are ditching the brand (can't make families buy expensive kits again so quickly).

A good portion of our team started the season without jerseys and shorts and we had to make due with old uniforms. My order was finally completely fulfilled the last week of October just before our fall league play finished up. Even worse than the delays though were sizing issues. The kit didn't conform to the Capelli size charts so the shorts and pants are ridiculously large.
That's what happened to us as well... almost 100% the same exp

I got the brush off again...expected fulfillment pushed back again. I'm going to cancel the order since we will have to buy a new kit for next season and will maybe if ever get this order in 2025!
Our old club used them for Futsal and the kid didn't arrive until after the season was over. The team ended up wearing their outdoor uniforms.
I've flushed too much $ down the drain with fkg Capelli. Buh-bye

No place is perfect, but Capelli is the worst of the bunch.
I'm not in any way a Capelli fan. But let's be reasonable. If the uniforms are Nike, Adidas, Kappa, Puma or whatever, you are going to have a name or logo on everything, including the socks. I guess different things bother different people.
There's a big difference between a tiny swoosh and this:
You're right. However, my child's team currently wears Capelli. It looks nothing like those images. They have the name in the right hand corner in small letters. I highly, highly doubt your child's team has it emblazoned across the front. I say that because in the last 6 years I've yet to see a team wearing Capelli wear something like what you posted.
All I have seen look like the following:
https://shop.rhodeislandfc.com/products/rifc-jersey
That said, if you want to embellish the reality to back your righteous indignation, I love this journey for you. However, it wasnt necessary. I never said don't be mad about Capelli and that different things bother different people. If it were me, I'd be more concerned about my kid not having a uniform yet. Stay mad, I guess?
Not mad! My kids club uses other vendors (which have their own issues for sure). It's just always baffles me when I do see the uniforms that look like this- because there are a lot out there. Unless they got them for free, this is madness to me. Glad that all the capelli teams don't have this issue.

Apologies for misunderstanding. I can only assume they are heavily discounted.

I wouldn't be shocked if the price point was lower due to the free advertising
