Ryan Nelsen - consultant

He liked the USMNT kits so much he copied them.

 

Wow, that is awful looking.

 

When he said they felt like a second skin, all I could picture was Hannibal Lecter.....

 

Yeah, these new Nike jerseys are butt ugly.

 

Nike must be stopped.

They make one design and then sell it to everyone in different colors. Blah.

 

Nike amazes me.

Everytime I think that they can't possibly make an uglier jersey, they manage to do just that.

Yuck.

 

At least now you can switch on the TV and instantly figure out who is sponsored by Nike, the team in the butt ugly look alike uniforms.

 

New Jersey?

How does this jersey differ from the ones worn by the US, Holland etc... It looks like the same shirt to me. Admittedly I am not up the latest Nike products innovations.

 

Re: New Jersey?

It doesn't except in color. This is the Nike way of doing things for national teams. So, when they have a bad design, the whole world suffers along with us. Half of the elite teams in the world look like European road signs.

 

Enough said...

~~~Worm~~~

 

A couple of points from this article:

I know news is a little slow getting to NZ sometimes, but every other freakin' Nike national team has already played in their unis, including the US, the Dutch, Brazil, etc.

And why the heck haven't we heard of this Maia Jackman before?

 

Yeah! And if they're the "All Whites", then why is the jersey BLUE? Huh? So the people at Nike are color blind too.

 

Apparently, the Kiwis have learned that their flag is neither black nor white.

 

Great...its a good thing France and England don't wear Nike uniforms, otherwise...

 

its also a good thing that Argentina doesnt wear that nike ******** either

i am sad because now many national team kits have lost their originality

that is why adidas will always kick nike's ass in making soccer uniforms

 

Re: New Jersey?

And Mexico. Shouldn't Nike, at least, come up with a couple of variations so that when teams sponsored by Nike play each other, they can not come out on the field looking like fraternal twins, dressed almost like, but not quite. It was really wierd watching the US play Mexico with each team wearing the same damn uniform.

 

Re: New Jersey?

Im a huge minamalist, sort of obessive compulsive, so I think having these streamlined uni's are kind of cool.

 

Of course, you can always go and buy a France, and Germany jerseys and then confuse them with your new DC United jersey.

while I like the new adidas kits, they do the same cookie cutter thing that Nike does.

 

So what was Nike's consultation with Nelsen actually like? "Ryan, do you like these? Because you're getting them whether you like them or not." "Um, OK."

 

Well, besides trhe same style, there are quite a few different material combinations I would think.
