Good question. I was wondering if the men would get the b/w pre-technicolor design also. I'd love to think that they won't.
if Bedoya's your guy then go for it. But looking at the link posted above, there's no way they can sell the current jersey for $16.99 when the real thing goes for $89.99. This has got to be for a knockoff. I've seen 10% and up to 20% discounts from known reputable sources, but there's no way they can sell the real thing (even the stadium version) for that price. I've bought some knockoffs of other teams in Thailand and the quality can be OK, but for my US kits I stick to the authentics.
Buy from aliexpress if you dont mind support the Chinese. I have bought 4 or 5 jerseys there with no issues for about 30 each.
I ordered from Aliexpress, blue Yedlin. It was 15 bucks so I will probably get what I paid for, but for a kit that I think is just okay, I'm fine with that. If they ever make something on par with the Waldos again, or offer more special kits like the stars & stripes number ones (which I just missed out on!), I will go authentic.
Does anyone else agree that the stars & stripes numerals on the back of the July 4th away kits elevated those jerseys to classic status? Visually, the stars and stripes numbers fit like a USA flag-glove and really used the idea of negative space to make these pop. I think this style would work on both home and away tops, too. Its the best use of our national flag's design IMO. Just my $.02.

I'm interested in purchasing a player issue authentic version of the new Blue away jersey. Not sure if this version is available.
Not necessarily a big deal. Some woman prefer to wear men's style shirts because they are baggier while women's style shirts are form fitting.
I'll have to disagree; imo, it was a big deal that, for the first time ever, the WNT jersey was offered in men's sizes, not so that women can wear a men's cut (although they can if they want) but because Nike finally recognized that the WNT actually does have male supporters.
