    With the arrival of the new USA kits I have come to realize my problem has never actually been with the kits the USMNT wears. IT is with the LOGO they wear. I won't buy anything that has it .

    Why don't we as a collective internet whole start a well organize list of what should be included in correction, then a petition, and we can start to pester Nike to change before the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. I seriously think this could and should be done.

    What are everyone's thoughts?

    Why would you pester Nike to change? It isn't their logo, they are just incorporating the USSF logo onto the shirt.

    I don't get what is so bad about the logo but understand there are people that don't like it. Need to understand that the logo represents a soccer federation that is involved in much, much more than just the USMNT.

    IMO the logo was fine. It was made during a time period in which the AAU no longer controlled a lot of the US sports and the very generic AAU logo was slapped on all American teams from the 1950 World Cup to Olympics. The new logo since 1995 has reflected one of the last cartoonized logos of the era.

    The US basketball Association just changed their logo to commerorate 20 years from the Dream Team. They last changed before the Dream team.




    I would not mind going back from the USSF to the USFA (United States Football Association), though it probably will cause quite a bit of confusion.

    I think maybe we should get together a bunch of designs here from us fans, get the best ones an perhaps send them to the Nike/ussoccer creative team (after we get enough attention to make a change possible) and let them get the best elements of those logos and make something that truly represents us soccer.

    For example here's one I did a while back

    I agree with you. I like your logo design. However, I think we should stick to using an Eagle or something from the USA crest. A shield with stripes and stars.

    As much as the snake is a cool design, but the union, and the tea party connections should be avoided.

    For me at the very least if Nike/ USSF, whoever is in charge, should change the stripes on the current crest to red. That is the quick fix!

    Yeah I agree, there is absolutely no excuse for the blue stripes. I also think the bouncing ball looks terrible. I think just using a white crest at all times would work, kinda how Frances appears on the Nike kits.

    Honestly when you compare it to most other countries logos the USSF logo isn't terrible. It's actually a pretty sharp design in and of itself. I think they just need to invert the colors to match the flag.

    Yeah I like the symbolism of the eagle but I just think too many teams use it. And I really really dislike the two colored beveled stars. Unnecessary. I think eat bothers me most about our logo is that they just got I guess a wordmark, a very 90s one at that, and put it inside a badge to make it look legit.

    I'm use to the logo.

    Don't really want it to change.

    If you have to change the crest, just change it to a modern version of the ones found on our 1950 jerseys:

    You don't have to...I don't mind the current logo either, but if we're going to change to anything, it should be the old one.

    Here's the shield with the colors inverted and the shadow on the stars removed. I think it would be an improvement.

    That looks great! Why don't you try it with putting in 50 stars up top? Might be too small or 5 (1 =10 states). What do you think of getting rid of the ball and putting in USA. At the max this is all that could be done easily!

    Wasn't that from the episode of the Simpsons where they go to Brazil?

    Pretty much what I always wanted it to look like, only change I would make is take away the shooting star effect on the ball.
