This seems to be the new USA 10/12 Home football kit made by Nike to be worn at the World Cup 2010 in South Africa, and which will be available through the FSC Shop and Official Nike Store
Apparently the shirt design is based on the shirts used by the US national team at the World Cup 1950.
In the 1950 World Cup, the United States lost its first match 3–1 against Spain, but then won 1–0 against England in what is widely considered one of the greatest upsets in football history, England having recently beaten the rest of Europe 6–1 in an exhibition match. Sports Illustrated and Soccer Digest have called the game the "Miracle on Grass."

The US is a team on the rise.. we are all expecting great things next year.
Don't Tread On Me
If this is going to be the standard Nike template (collar, cuffs, cut) then it is a huge let down. I do like it though, anything beats those horrible adidas kits they had at their World Cup in '94.
looks pretty good, but lacks something new...
It looks as it is just another kit...
I do like the new undershirts though!
Yeah... the world cup is during South Africa's winter, which can range from 50's to 70... haven't you learn anything from the confed cup?
shares same arm line as USA one.
please put it up?
Good thing is, I can keep my old one and save money.
I Prefer ADIDAS
Adidas is beeing better than Nike huahauhauahuaha
Don't forget that Nike is from Portland and nothing good comes from Portland
Love the new kit.
--------------------------
Nike's new image for 2010. All Nike kits will have it.
what was wrong with the current home, it's the away that sucked! not the home!
Now we look like Uncle Sam's Fruitcakes and not Uncle Sam's Army.
thanks to the Jackholes at Nike for getting it wrong... AGAIN!
Americans love it.
Hm. What a surprise....
All in all: worse than the current kit, but if they make THE CORRECT CHANGE to that jersey so that the sash is red, then I could dig it. I've seen mocks of a red kit with a blue sash that looks pretty stellar too, so I hope that red/blue one ends up being our change kit.
I totally agree with you that the white shirt should have a red sash. Even a darker blue sash would have looked good to me. I don't know, there's something about the faded sash that looks off to me.
NIke = Sh*t...allways. Adidas can make mistakes but allways is betting...nike is getting stucked only in the facto of the supperb quality of the materials but not pay attention to the designs..
Clean, classic, simple
Great kit! Well done nike, well done.

I still don't like Mexicos new kit. it's horrible!!!

You will be seeing this kit in at least the quarterfinals!!
So that's not the point of the sash - it's more subtle reminder than commemoration. Also, maybe the federation and Nike don't want to use Peru and River's white w/ red sash - and maybe that has something to do with neither being Nike shirts.
I love the shirt - will say that the cleaner Nike/Umbro styles are my thing. I don't like crew necks, but that's OK. It looks like a clean, white football kit - with an interesting design feature that doesn't dominate the aesthetic. Like the current kit with its subtle red lined grey hoops.
I really don't get that
geez..just colour that damn sash..
Gazhorn and others
WC2010- climatic challenge, Bloemfontein 8h00 pm -4 very cold conditions and dry, same evening Durban can be 18 and dry and then Cape Town is 14 and raining. One country with very diverse climates during winter.Who has the answer to this? from what I see not nike and puma, only the 3 stripes.......
As for americans liking it and euros not liking it... why do so many Euros like the stupid curvy stripes and wavy templetes that adidas uses so often? I prefer a classic look like nikes Dutch shirts from a couple years ago.
on the kit part at first i thought it was plain but after looking at it several time it actually a nice kit. the same happen to our england home kit. it looks very dull but until u actually see it its quite beautiful. i just hope ur kits are a clean pure white like ours cuz from the looks of it it looks like a shiney pearlly white and it doesnt fit well. thats the only thing.
i emant to add "with" in between american things and american politics and a better way to say that is that most euros are anti american
USELESS.
America does not have a traditional national uniform. That's a shame. I have seen white kits, blue kits, red kits,gray kits, cyan kits, striped kits, denim kits.....etc
America NEEDS a permanent image to catch up with their fans!!!
