While no stranger to Toronto FC home openers, this season's kickoff at BMO Field will be extra special for Mark Hinkley. Hinkley, a Day 1 TFC season ticket-holder, helped come up with the MLS team's new home kit.

Out of the blue, some 2 and a half years ago, Manning reached out to Kristin Knowles, a fellow Vocal Minority host and TFC aficionado, to ask whether Hinkley would indeed be interested in helping out with a new kit project.The 46-year-old Hinkley was an inspired candidate for the job. Not only a graphic designer by trade, he is an avid jersey collector with more than 150 in his collection .
The darker colour combination allows the star above the crest -- signifying TFC's 2017 MLS Cup triumph -- to pop.It's described as essentially an inverse design of the 2017 championship home kit. Hinkley's soundtrack to BMO Field also comes with a drum beat, courtesy of the giant bass drum in the south end.
Hinkley works for the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada, doing graphic design, media editing and producing live online events. He says being involved in the design process was a fascinating lesson in understanding a jersey's production cycle — especially with Adidas dealing with 29 MLS teams' kits.
