    The US seems to always lose when doing one of the following, or both at the same time: wearing dark kits or playing at night.
    Evidence for
    vs. Italy (friendly) Red kits, at night, 1-0 loss
    vs. Ireland (friendly) Blue kits, at night, 2-1 loss
    vs. Germany (friendly) Blue kits, at night, 4-2 loss
    vs. Poland (WC) Blue kits, at night, 3-1 loss
    vs. Germany (WC) Blue kits, at night, 1-0 loss
    and many more

    Evidence against
    vs. Jamaica (friendly) Blue kits, at night, 5-0 win
    vs. Ecuador (friendly) Blue kits, at day, 1-0? win

    Maybe its just that we happen to play more quality opposition at night with our "away" kits on. Here is my proposal: Always wear white.

    It's the blue kits man, but what can you do? They look so snazzy, but they're cursed.

    I want to see someone compile our record in the last 4 years with blue and with white. That's the ticket.

    It would be red and white for the most part since 2002 was when the blue kits were first used.

    I think you should look at who we were playing, not what we were wearing.

    Except that it's much easier to change what you wear than to change how you play.
