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.
I'll do the record, but I'm not sure about the jerseys. I'll put in the ones I know. 2003: 2-1 Jamaica W 0-1 Argentina L White 4-0 Canada W 2002: 2-0 El Salvador W Blue(?) 0-1 Germany L Blue 2-0 Mexico W White 1-3 Poland L Blue 1-1 S.

Fill in what color jerseys for whatever game if you know. It's past midnight here and I'm bored.
