    Not to mention that the original Nike running shoes were made by U of Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman for U of O star and Olympian Steve Prefontaine, and Nike chairman Phil Knight was Bowerman's business partner. You could pretty much say Nike was originally a made-at-U-of-O enterprise.

    Still blows my mind they failed to have these ready for Christmas.

    From a sales standpoint you think it would have made sense to have them available for at least pre-order for Christmas. Then they could have made another big fan fare and start selling them when they were worn for the first time in the spring.

    That's what I thought they'd do. I got a Russia jersey on pre-order for Christmas and I'll get it in February.

    FWIW, My local soccer store told me today that the away will be available March 1st, May 1st for the home. Confirmed they're 1950 throwback-style but no word on exact colors. May 1st seems really late, doesn't it?

    Thanks for the tip. May does seem late. Heck, March seems late.

    May would seem really late. Especially since the majority of people get a custom jersey or one with player names and numbers which takes extra time.

    I've been saying this for a while now, so I can more or less confirm.

    Those are the dates when the replicas go on sale..but I wonder if they will be unveiled officially earlier? I remember in 2006 something similar happening. We didn't wear the home kits until late May when we lost to Morocco but I remember knowing what they looked like a lot earlier.

    Re: Anyone know when the USMNT 2009/2010 Kits will be availiable?

    I suspect Nike just put together an equation along these lines:
    Let C = official jerseys sold specifically due to the Christmas bump (does not exist in all countries)
    Let T = total # of official and knock-off jerseys sold before the World Cup to people who will buy jerseys without the Christmas bump
    Let K = knock-off sales per month once counterfeiters can begin production
    Let M = months between counterfeit start date and the start of the World Cup
    Let O = total # of official jerseys sold

    O = C + T — K*M
    That's simplifying the variables involved, of course. But I'm guessing those were some of the more important ones, and they just timed the release date to maximize the total of official jerseys sold. (It just turned out that C = 0 because of the later release date.)

    Those ebay shirts are fake as they don't have the red stripes on the sleeves, but they should look pretty similar to those. I think the actual Nike ones will look nicer when we see them.

    More consistant with what I've heard, but not exact.

    Coincides with the USA-Dutch match, as I expected.

    So are they going to debut the home kits for the February match or wait until May?

    I'm pretty sure they won't debut their kits until they are about to go on sale, so not till May. The 3/1 and 5/1 dates are for the unveiling, so it wouldn't make sense to play in them 2 months before their unveiling.

    I'm gonna sound like such a 12 year old fanboy, but the EA World Cup game comes out in late April and our home kits come out in early May it seems? So I hope our new home kits are in the game. :(


    :D I'm sure it'll all work it though,the 2006 game had everything right for us.
