2. Can we retire the U.S.'s blue jerseys now? It was a bad idea from the start to switch from red, the color worn by the Yanks' diehard fans, and the World Cup sealed it. U.S. record in white jerseys: 2-0-1. In blue jerseys: 0-2. After all, Brazil has done pretty well since it swore off green jerseys forever following its 1950 World Cup disaster. And while we're at it, let's revive the 1950 U.S. shirts with the red slash down the front as a third kit. How cool would that be?

Very cool Grant, very cool....

agree. i just bought the 1860 munich away kit and it has the horizontal stripe. classic looking. the us horizontal would look great, especially as it would pay homage to the 1950 team.
