Re: New USA Kits I like it so much I think striped kits should be our thing, like with Croatia and the checkerboard design.
Re: New USA Kits That looks awesome, it looks right out of the 1920s or something. As for the leaked photos: hideous
Re: New USA Kits Awesome work! Can you show us what this kit would look like with this crest instead of the cartoony USSF logo.
Re: New USA Kits I have an old subbuteo set from the 70's and one of the shirts pictured in the fold out thingy that came with it is USA's, and the kit is pretty much this exact one. not to claim any "subbuteo precedent" here but the sash is traditional for the US, as is the White-Blue-White. Red, not so much, except for the period around the disaster in 1998, and who wants to remember that. Plus red tops and blue shorts looks too much like Korea and that's just not ok with me.
Re: New USA Kits Home and away mocks. Here's my take on the sash AND stripes: Somebody seriosuly got payed to design that? there's absolutely nobody on earth who thinks that will look good.
Re: New USA Kits the red and white has too many stripes, i believe. if it had the same number as that anthracite/blue i think it would look less hideous
Re: New USA Kits Yeah I used France's template because I didn't want FC Dallas look. Personally, I love thin horizontal stripes and vertical. Thick vertical (Barca, inter) are bad.
Re: New USA Kits Soccer shirts are pretty tough to mess up. You either have stripes, a sash, or a solid color. Somewhere, Nike got confused.
Re: New USA Kits I did this real quick on paint just something i would like to see in the future... dont hate on my swooshes!!
Re: New USA Kits A montage of all our old jerseys, for those who are curious: http://www.oldfootballshirts.com/en/teams/u/usa/old-usa-football-shirts-t489.html
Re: New USA Kits I'm done with this thread i promise, but here's my complete set, third based on MS paint version above
Re: New USA Kits The middle one looks a bit plain to me (I associate those colors with old sweatpants, although without the gray next to it the blue might not look as bad) but I'd buy the other two in a heartbeat.
Re: New USA Kits I understand the business side of releasing new jersey designs, but I just wish USSF would do something to keep the jersey design the same so that we can build tradition around it.
Re: New USA Kits In theory, that's a good idea. But then you have something like the atrocious sash that they thought would be such a good idea, but turned out horribly. And unfortunately they have stated they WILL stick with the sash, which is why you have the "watermark" sash across the horizontal stripes. I like the idea of coming up with new ideas every few cycles. That way, if you despise what they chose, you can just wait a year or so. Anyway, every single club and country have new design tweaks every cycle, even Argentina and Brazil -- see Brazil's "minus sign" shirt. No one is immune.
Re: New USA Kits This Team American jersey from 83 is also pretty sweet. I like the collars and v-necks - we should bring them back.
Re: New USA Kits Did anyone notice Elvin's teamate in the blue shorts. Did he forget his home uni, very strange.
Re: New USA Kits Is this a serious post? If so, the player dunking is from a completely different picture than the picture used as the background.
Re: New USA Kits Look more closely. You can see two of Elvin's teamates in the background who have the same uni, the guy on the right with the blue shorts is the odd one, the shirt is different too. How many composite pictures is this, or is the guy wearing a different uni?
