The adidas 94 jersey with vertical wavy stripes passed you by then? I like this, however a decent shirt for your average FC Dallas fan...similar to their home shirt.
This is crap. Why can't we stick to a consist style and identity like most national teams. The logo needs to go its shitty 90s clip art and they are going to put stars on it (which is a whole other issue for World Cup etc.) why only put three? Gross.
I totally agree that the crest is awful (some kind of roundel with the US Seal's bald eagle and a soccer ball, something like the new Germany emblem would be ideal) but I'd keep some stars within the crest, just to be obstinate. The only issue for World Cup etc is putting stars ABOVE the crest. Put as many as you want in them and it's cool.
As for the jersey, I've never liked vertical stripes OR hoops on a jersey, so I am not optimistic about this one.
It's all love over here man...regardless I still think it resembles the France away kit especially the back and I know the stripes are thicker but I still think it looks similar although the French kit is much cleaner...dude u wanna hit this?? Much love to all my yanks!!
I'm calling this a fake. The flag on the inside of the collar is inconsistent with what Nike is doing (with the coiled snake) and is probably covering up some other mark. The badge (or if you prefer, crest) is the pre-2006 design (shape of the shield, shade of blue, lack of gold outline). I'm fairly confident this is a fake...and thank god

hopefully it is, its nice if only the stripes were less thick, or make them look like a water mark with the same french away template, the flag sort of makes it look fake as well but we can be so sure yet.
07/08 was an update of the traditional Lisbon Lions shirt that was worn from the 60's into the 70's
I see your point though. Celtic tops seem to follow the Template that Man Utd gets or the Euro 20XX shirts
Interesting that this shirt has a sublimated area on the back (as UEFA calls for in the CL and Europa League for hoops or stripes), to add the number. This shirt also looks to have a sublimated area in the front center to add a number. Thus all US shirts that have had that "blank" area, look to be missing something on the replica unless it gets personalized.
I can just see this shirt at CP with a green ringer collar and no sublimated front area (or rear area)
I think it looks great. My real question is for Tai (the dude who supposedly hooked FSC up with the pics). Where did you come across these pictures? Any chance of leaking other Nike international kits? Can you take more photos?
Horrid. I loved the blue away shirt (should have been home). This...is garbage. Honestly, here's hoping the away kit is nicer and they just wear that. You know...maybe they should just take a hint from Captain America's costume...
I bet this means you can expect the blue away to be blue, covered in white stars, with red trim. When the red shirt came out I was telling my friend the next time they changed I bet they'd go in this direction. I don't know how I feel. Also, the U.S. Red shirt on the us soccer website says 2011-2012. So will they be keeping the red shirt they currently wear??
to be honest i like it, although me personally i always liked USA in a Pure White (white shirt white shorts white socks) kits. but i guess change is ok every now and again. kinda sad that Nike didnt keep USA with a All White kit but this is not bad actually. kinda dig it. i hope the away kit is like a all black kit like the USWNT. maybe black and a hint of red. but i like what others suggest, a blue with some stars or something. hey at least its not the same old 3 lines over and over again
Agreed 100%. Make the hoops go all the way around and have the lettering some kind of bright blue or something that will stand out. The spaces are terrible.

This kit is terrible. White/red hoops for an American team is painfully literal. Bad design - let's hope this shirt is a fake.
USMNT needs an identity (such as Argentina's white/blue stripes, the Dutch orange). The kits change dramatically every two years and we haven't established a look - not even a standard color for our home shirt. The current sash should stay - it was simple, referenced a past kit, and could be easily incorporated going forward.
I don't like it at all. Just because there are stripes on the flag, doesn't mean we need hoops on the jersey. The sash was a much better look and could have become a permanent fixture.
i thought they were going to stick with the diagonal stripe kits. if we constantly change our kits every few years, we will never have any identity. this is BS
Soccer will never be an American game. We have superior sports, and these damn soccer kits can never measure up - they never have the XXXXXXXXXXXX-L I need.
God I hate that my country is the only one that tries to tailor its national flag into a soccer jersey. I thought one of the traditions about the U.S. flag is that it's discouraged to make clothing depicting it. That's why the current jersey has a sash and a rattlesnake around a soccer ball. Obviously fake as the current three jerseys are scheduled to remain in use at least until 2012. . .
it's the same template as the team i play for http://www.facebook.com/robday991?cropsuccess#!/photo.php?fbid=324760027539084&set=t.662317410&type=1&theater that's me wearing the kit

France, Ecuador, Mexico, Colombia, Cameroon, Argentina etc etc Loads of national teams incorporate their flag to some extent, certainly to the degree that red and white stripes incorporates USA's.
USA...wow. Nike is in the USA, yet they can't provide anything original to our national team...shame. Please Nike be more original and groundbreaking when it comes to the USA national team!
PLEASE,, ANYONE FROM NIKE WITH ANY INFLUENCE... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET RID OF OUR REC LEAGUE BADGE AND USE THE DTOM LOGO!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO, WHY CANT WE HAVE A CONSISTENT HOME JERSEY????
And this is why America has such a difficult time increasing the sports popularity on a national level. We'll look like a bunch of candy canes heading out onto the pitch.
I think the USA needs to get a shirt and design that defines them and stick with it. Is their home shirt blue, white, red? It seems like they can't decide from year to year what the basic template of their home kit should be. Plus they have so many great symbols and colors they can work with.
Didn't lose the sash. It's still there under the swoosh ... and now with crappy ass red bars. What else can we add to this?? How about the snake as well? Put that under the crest! Kitchen sink goes on the sleeve! This thing sucks.
For the love of any god please let adidas make the USA kits again. I'm so tired of nike throwing random things on soccer jerseys and making them 'exciting'.
The USMNT needs to just find a basic pattern and stick with it. They've been all over the map throughout their history and it seems like this is exacerbating that. The design's not bad in and of itself (though it looks like a rugby shirt to me) but it is genuinely awful as an enduring national symbol.
FairPlay It's just like another USA rubbish top, Nike gotta do better for their counterpart......but I'm gonna bet they don' cause they aren't so good in football......wonder what they'll do next to keep US Football happy
That's cause we call it soccer here, and our good athletes don't play it. It is seen as a small child's game here.
Nobody really cares if your coutry like it or not, Usa is and always will be plain garbage at FOOTBALL, the game don't need american approval or participation. BTW your sports are just stupid everywhere in the world.
So burn that flag if you must! But before you do, you'd better burn a few other things! You'd better burn your shirt and your pants! Be sure to burn your TV and car! Oh yeah, and don't forget to burn your house! Because none of those things would exist without six red stripes, seven white stripes, and a helluva lot of stars!!
I loved this hermes handbags the first moment I set eyes on it. It’s just so incredibly elegant.I go to find the hermes store everywhere . The hermes birkin was a little more in my price range…
Here's what some believe to be the away kit. All fears realized. Honestly I don't think it's a bad concept as far as having one kit be the stars one the stripes, just think it was poorly executed. http://www.majorleaguesoccertalk.com/us-mens-national-team-away-shirt-for-2012-13-revealed-leaked-photo-15097
These are only okay if Tim Howard and the other goalkeepers wear blue shirts with white stars. Pre-game line up would be epic human flag situation. Not likely.
What the fck is up with the blank white spot on the back? seriously what if we don't want a name on the back !? SMH -.- censoreding phil night !)-._)!)#
Well, reminds me of a Carribean country's flag,,,,not sure which one. It's just not very inventive. The USA flag is a tough one. I'm sure Nike had many designs to go through. I'll still buy it to support Team US and fill Nike's pockets. Lol
Comments
like the kit's colors are random, not Karesz's comment
as opposed to their old uniforms? not the countrie's flag you dumbcensoreds
that is interesting changed my life...
The question is: Have you seen the france away kit?
Look at the stripes. United Stated Home's are a lot thicker.
About time they got red and white hoops. However not sure about the watermark stripe going across the shirt.
Blue and white stars away kit anyone????
RTID!
Doncaster copied Accies.
Wally*
Good job they are horizontal then ;)
Will the home kit be full of stars??
Sorry, I just had a flashback to the 1994 World Cup jerseys! Now I'm gonna have nightmares for days!
We havent seen the shorts for this yet!!
the short would be blue with 50 stars on it
As for the jersey, I've never liked vertical stripes OR hoops on a jersey, so I am not optimistic about this one.
the box on the back is ugly too
Lats all just agree he´s high. Ahh now I wanna get high
...Oh look!
hopefully it is, its nice if only the stripes were less thick, or make them look like a water mark with the same french away template, the flag sort of makes it look fake as well but we can be so sure yet.

I can just see this shirt at CP with a green ringer collar and no sublimated front area (or rear area)
Will it be successful for USA? Will see.
Yeah a blank back sounds good.
add blue short/socks with white stars and it's great kit for USA.
Someone know if France (for Euro) and Brazil get a new kit this year ?

Leave the football kits to Umbro, you stick to American sports instead.
Nike owns Umbro, therefore oversees Umbro. your arguement makes no sense. please get out
if we constantly change our kits every few years, we will never have any identity.
this is BS
A star-spangled blue away kit would be an instant classic, again, a-la USA '94. That kit had horrible maroon shorts from what I recall...
Le'ts rethink this US Soccer!
Hope we get a blue jersey with white stars for the away. Represent them stars and stripes cuddy.
Uhh, Germany?

You CANNOT expect fans of Houston Dynamo and USMNT to wear THIS!
Imagine if England changed to a claret and sky jersey or Spain went with blaugrana stripes.
FAIL.
