Here is what appears to be the new 2011 third kit for the U.S. national team made by Nike.
The shirt has been rumoured for some time and been demanded by some fans, now Nike have folded on the fan pressure and produced one, to be debuted against Argentina on the 26th March in New Jersey.
The shirt is exactly the same as they used at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, apart from the obvious colour change. The picture shown here is most probably a prototype of the what's to be worn on Saturday as the United States Soccer Federation are looking to change the teams motto from 'Don't Tread on Me' and the snake logo associated with this can still be seen inside the collar.
Thanks to Andrew and Brady

Besides the other USA jerseys, which National or Club team has this Nike jersey?

USA 2010 away is jersey is exactly the same design...
I believe it said! BESIDES THE OTHER USA JERSEYS!
Uh, the 2010 home AND away have this SAME template.....that's why it's lazy on Nike's part. Show me another nation that has the same exact design for 3 shirts.
Incredibly disappointing. Not to mention boring. I won't be buying.
Most of the world cup shirts, Slovenia, NZ etc had the same collar and band across the sleeves...or so I think. The USA the only one to have the sash though.

The stars are in the crest and not over it. The stars are as you know a symbol of great importance for the US. Plus america as quite a unique philosophy over football so it's normal that the crest doesn't have the usual look.
And since this is only a third kit the design didn't need to be changed. Just another color and that does it.
I just hope they do something awesome for next years.
^ à la Man City's current crest.

In the shop...Why?
Maaad props there buddy
Also, Nike bashing seems to be a fun thing on this board, but it is appropriate that Nike makes the US kit as it is a company based in Oregon.
And if you want to bash Nike, do it about things that they produce that actually are crap ie any Oregon Ducks American Football jersey (see below)

Moron.
I do agree on the fact that it looks crapy but it's just a third shirt so it's usualy the case.
The don´t trwad on me is a much, much older slogan linked to the US(I think the south originally) If the Tea Party uses it, tough luck for the football federation.
If the BNP would use a lion in their logo(as representitive of England)would the FA step down to use it?
So beside the fact, that the BNP is a racist nationalistic movement with hardly any backing in the wider population, the Tea Party movement seems(in my local german media)neo-conservative and patriottic (BUT NOT RACIST)
Correct me fellow americans(whoever)if I am wrong.

Very interesting blog!
Unfortunaltey the BNP does have some areas where they get decent support and have ended up with MPs in parliament. That said you're right in your statements on the differences between the two (I've not heard any racial comments from the Tea Party and whilst the BNP puts on a front of being tolerant have a look at the shop on their website!).
but its happening alot recently
the shirt's okay though
Of course this red kit wouldn't be necessary as a third if it had been the Away right from the beginning.
Normally I defend Nike, but this IS a World Cup template, and it IS just a recoulour of the current home and away. If all three shirts were released at once, it would have been ok, but now the design isn't fresh.
Following the new France kits I just would have expected more...
6.5/10 - Looks good, but not really new or exciting.
that would make sense AND look cool, right?
right?
Kind of in a similar way to the world cup 94 home jersey when they had wavy vertical red and white stripes. Their jerseys for that tournament were awesome!
How dare they finally make a red jersey that the fans demand!!!!!!!!!
They should be like adidas and just use the same template for every jersey they make!!!!!!!!
This is just bad business by nike!!!!!!!!
i know WEIRD
