Yes. Japan has it too, and Spain had it for a few cycles back in the late 90s/early 00s. I think that the DCU jerseys would be nice if modeled after Germany's, but with all the trim in red instead of white. What are the odds we move to a red away jersey? At the very least, there should be way more red on both kits.
Germany's World Cup (home) shirt is a beauty... I like the idea of using the striping down through the badge. Reverse the colors (primarily black) and you've got a home option for United.
That would be cool and it would harken back to an old DC jersey that had vertical stripes. Perhaps someone can do a photoshop of this concept.
Now that's what I'm talking about! I would love to see DC United home/away uniforms, based on that template.
I'm not allowed to share anything that you probably really want to know yet, but, I can say that we will have both a new home & away kit in 2010. Our home kit will remain primarily black, with away being white. There will also be no third kit in 2010. From what I've seen our kit doesn't use the exact same silhouette as any of the adidas World Cup kits or any of the other new MLS kits. Some design elements are shared here and there but overall ours will be unique. We actually just did a photo & video shoot of the new home kit today that I won't be able to share until 2010, but I think they turned out well.
Thanks for the info Nathan - though you have basically just poked the bear with a stick with the "unique" thing
Thanks. When are you guys going to just go with black shorts on the road? It looks much better than the all white standard.
2010 is less than a month-and-a-half away, so we will know soon enough. DCU Merchandise: Is there going to be a double-secret probation merch sale?
I'm not sure if I want to rep or neg rep you for this post. You tease more than that hot girl in high school who wouldn't do anything with anyone that you later found out was a lesbian and of course you had high hopes for that, but then she would get with the ugliest girls and they would all treat her like shit so she would always hang out with you and want to talk about relationships and stuff and it would just torture you because you knew it wasn't going to happen and you wouldn't even get a good video out of her.
Seconded The all-white kit lacks much identity given all the other teams in MLS that use the same look.
Any chance of a bit of visible red in the new unis, seeing as how we are supposed to be the Black and Red?
^^^^^ I agree. How about an away kit that has a white shirt, black shorts and red socks? We could have white socks as a change for when we play away at Chicago or Chivas or Dallas.
I've seen pictures of the 'black shirt/red shorts' and the 'white shirts/black shorts' uniforms we used in 1996. They both looked good, IMO.
That can't possibly be a DC United picture, it shows someone going aggressively toward goal. Oh, never mind, it is toward our goal *who the hell is that?
