Vancouver Whitecaps FC
The Vancouver Whitecaps are keeping with tradition.
The team unveiled its new uniform for the 2021 season, choosing to keep the slick hoop design that has been popular with fans, and is also a nod to their 1979 NASL Soccer Bowl championship team.
The Whitecaps brought back the hoop design two years ago, for the 40th anniversary of the championship. MLS uniforms have a two-year lifespan, with teams debuting either a new home or away jersey each year, but instead of going in a new direction this year, they’ve decided to tweak the classic look instead.
The new jersey features a blue hoop cut and sewn onto the front, not all the way around the back of the jersey like the previous version. This version also has a round neck instead of a collar, and blue hoops around the sleeves.

A Downtown Eastside charitable society is feeding and supporting hundreds of vulnerable people during the pandemic, and it’s looking for help to continue their important work in the community.
Whole Way House, founded by siblings Josh and Jenny Konkin along with Josh’s wife Mary in 2013, serves vulnerable seniors and veterans who are facing marginalization, disabilities, addiction issues, and/or mental health issues.

The society also carries on their family’s legacy. Whole Way House is located on the ground floor of the Avalon Hotel, a single room occupancy building that houses approximately 85 low-income tenants in the DTES today.
