this is the Condivo here http://adisoccerworld.com/ADIDAS-CONDIVO.gif Looks like some type of fade pattern going on there.

dont make promisses you cant keep! i will go on this trip if i get to buy the new shirt. if not im out. i know iam only one person but still!
Disappointing. I was all ready to buy that one with the thin vertical stripes on the left side. I guess they don't want to change too much from year to year.
Exactly. I liked the last jerseys a lot. These will probably be the same basic template except with a few red stripes added. Not bad if you ask me.
Not outstandingly creative, but then when Addidas (or any sports apparel marketer) goes for "creative" I usually dislike it. This is timeless... one could even say 'classic'. I'll take it.
There was no way that Adidas was going to give DC United the option of having the same uniform of the German national team. I do agree that would have been a cool kit though.
Why not? - It takes time and money to set up the machinery for any one basic template - The more clubs that buy a given template, the less cost to set up for a different template, the greater your profit margin They may be figuring to wait for the World Cup before they offer it to clubs, but they will offer to others eventually
You know that the shirt that United wore the last two seasons was the same that the Germans wore in Euro 08 and the last two years, right?
For that, you'd have to get rid of the Volkswagen logo and add three Adidas stripes across the front of the shirt! If the piping across the front and shoulders is red and not white, I think that this new jersey is perfectly acceptable. Well done, Front Office -- especially when you consider that Adidas forces MLS teams to chose from among only 2 or 3 different templates every two years.
I think it's nice. As long as they maintain simplicity, it's hard to go wrong with a solid black top. Now, if we could convince them to wear black shorts on the road, we'd be in business.
