http://www.ussoccer.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=53574 Don't they look a little like those tuxedo shirts where the image of the tuxedo is just imprinted on?
well they are illustrations after all so they tend to have that imprinted look i think they are great its kinda got a mod feel
Yeah i'm going to reserve judgment until i see the jersies in action.. but the pictures on the USsoccer site look pretty bad.
Seems like the shorts are longer and baggier like in basketball. I've seen Croatia's new shorts (also Nike) and they are definitely longer. Impossible to express an opinion based on those "drawings", but they can't be worse than those hideous 1994 jersey's (with the stars on it).
Well, the Fed does not dictate when the unis are changed anymore. Nike has a two year shelf-life on the kits....when the two years is up, they need to line up a new kit. And the big nations get to pick from the expensive jersey line. And right now, it looks like Nike has one premium line. Total 90. I, for one, do not like the billiard numbers, but they're not hideous. I also kinda like the different colored nameplate on the back. Now if US Soccer will allow us to buy customized jerseys....
We'll have to wait until tommarrow for the verdict, but from the drawings, I like the Blue kit. I think it looks sharp. But the white one....I don't know, maybe they could keep the white one they had...for good luck.
I always was much more of a fan of the blue aways in last year's kits than the homes. I was hoping that the new kits would not have the numbers on the front of the jersey with the ring around like the new Brazil jersey. The new Netherlands jerseys only have the numbers on the front, and they look quite nice. I like the design, but the front numbers are awful.
I like the white long-sleeved, hope they make it available for sale. Too bad they didnt go back to red for the away, but what ya gonna do.
I like the new kit & will be buying my own jersey very soon. However, I could do without the "billiards-type" numbers on the front of the jerseys.
There's no pleasing everyone for sure, but I think overall this is a good design (albeit not unique). I am for taking away the circle around the front number, however. I've seen actual pictures of the Brazil uni and it looks awful! Other than that, they look good. Oh, and I would like to see a red away kit sometime...maybe as a third jersey.
Does anyone else HATE nike jerseys? In my opinion they rate behind adidas and puma by a huge margin. The short sleeves on Donovan look longer than normal and look horrible. The shorts look extremely long as well. Are we trying to go for a basketball type short? I guess I shouldnt base all of my opinions on the picture and I will wait for my overall opinion after todays game. Again, I HATE NIKE JERSEYS
[sarcasm] WOW!!!! THOSE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOO UNIQUE!!!!!! [/sarcasm] F'ing NIKE , all the kits look the same again: PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AFTER SEEING THEM ON TV!!!!! IMHO they look A LOT better on the internet than on TV. After seeing them in the US-Holland game, I'm reconsidering, whether or not, I'll even buy one. Just don't look good!!!
