Someone needs to hire the Patriots uniform designer for this next time.

Russia.

That was the first thing that popped in my head.

[MIMIC]

Reminds me of France.

Still, I like it.

WE KNOW

I agree, I like this kit:

 

[sestrugen]

The away kit looks pretty good, the home kit rather generic

 

[Nicktendo86]

Home kit looks like what England's should be, if it had a little more red.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

I agree, I like this kit:

Oh god, that's awful. Reminds me of 90s NHL alternates.

 

[KingGondo]

WE KNOW

Too bad the Gadsden symbol has been co-opted by the Tea Party.

 

[AndyD]

Wait, aren't home kits supposed to be colorful and away kits white to allow the home team to express their colors? It's one of those unwritten gentlemen's rules. I think USA got it backwards.

US soccer fans were using it long before the Tea Party existed and will use it long after they're gone.

I thought we won the Cold War...

I agree, I like this kit:

That is hideous, thanks for making me feel better about the new Nike jerseys...

 

[xbhaskarx]

Putting the crappy away jersey on Ndamukong Suh and Andrew Luck doesn't make it look any less crappy...

[andycapps]

I like the away kit, the home one seems more appropriate for a small European country.

 

[Meier]

Reminds me of France.

France are Les Blues -- as you'd guess, they essentially only wear blue tops.

I think everyone, certainly at least the fans, prefers the Centennial crest but it is what it is. I like the away kit especially when paired with the red shorts and socks. It's pretty eye-catching. There have been some complaints about Nike using a different blue than the traditional navy we've used in recent years, but it wouldn't really fit with this design so I'm glad they didn't.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Already have the home so I'll probably pick up the away one once it comes out. Home jersey is quite nice actually.

 

[Laieon]

Too bad the Gadsden symbol has been co-opted by the Tea Party.

I guess we'll just have to use this:

 

[ghst]

I agree, I like this kit:

a rattlesnake? i bet 99% of americans have never even seen a real live rattlesnake. what a completely ridiculous animal to associate your national football team with.

 

[Tenks]

Their away uniform doesn't really scream USA to me. Looks more like France or another European country.

 

[Meier]

Here are some others for those curious.

England

Portugal

Netherlands

Ivory Coast

Italy

Belgium

Algeria (damn, these are classy)

France

Spain

Germany

Er, its referencing the Gadsden Flag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_flag

 

[jerry1594]

Well it couldn't be any uglier

Yes it could

Er, its referencing the Gadsden Flag: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_flag

That kit is really ugly

I thought he was trolling ....

 

[Dude Abides]

Collars look dumb on athletic gear, unless it's tennis or golf.

And why do only the home jerseys have collars? Is that a convention for soccer uniforms?

 

[ConfusingJazz]

He said football, so I assume he isn't American.

Moving past the fact that you don't understand the historical reference: How many Americans have seen a "real live" bald eagle?

 

[ghst]

c'mon guys. put it together.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

I guess we'll just have to use this:

Hey, that represents the nation of Texas, not the US.

Just depends on the design for the year really. For instance, the team I support buttons up on the away shirt but is the traditional rounded collar on the home.

The previous year had a polo style collar though for the home and none for the away. A lot of the fans seem to dislike them typically. I don't mind too much personally.

 

[Heretic]

I like it!

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Japan auto-won because they have Pokemon.

What do we have as our mascot this year?

 

[GaimeGuy]

I do agree that the shirts should be "Red, White, Blue" from top to bottom rather than bottom to top.

Even so, really, people? In a sporting context, and especially when it comes to national football/soccer, France = Les Bleus.

As weird as it may sound, you should never associate the ordered colors of Blue, White, and Red with France in sports, unless you're literally looking at a French flag.

They're becoming increasingly more populous. (There is no way that is proper grammar/word use) I saw one flying overhead the other day while getting lunch in Columbus.

FIFA fucked up - shock! - by changing the rules...

Huh?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Collars are terrible. Remove them from everything that doesn't have a tie on it.

 

[Massive Nights]

No way man, USA'94 kit forever!

 

[MR4001]

Huh?

Kits have to be bolder now, no more different colour shorts for example.

Then and now (Germany and Italy):

I have a hard time believing 99% of the country has never seen a rattlesnake…. am I totally wrong? (from west texas so prob)



^^ and yes the 94 kits should be the standard and worn every 4 years

 

[Mesousa]

Much better than that Wheres Waldo old one.

Will look stylish while getting trashed by Ghana again.

 

[beast786]

Here are some others for those curious.

Germany

Ugh, hate it. Always love the simple white with black shorts. Ugh

Call me an old tradition fart

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Looks good, but a darker blue would have been better.

Looks weird, probably because I associate Team USA with navy blue. I'll get over it.

That blue is actually a throwback to the 1930 and 1934 WC shirts.

First time they've used it since then.

 

[thefro]

There needs to be red/white stripes on the shirt/shorts all the way down instead of it stopping at the number and being all red.

England

Oddly, for some reason they've shopped everyone but Hart to the same height there.

 

[Miletius]

Prefer it with white socks, but otherwise okay.

I have the Germany Home jersey - it's pretty nice actually - though I think the Away jersey is a bit more interesting actually:

That doesn't seem to be the case. England, Portugal, and France have different color shorts.

Haha good spot. Gerrard and sturridge are both over 6 foot.

Gerrard looks tiny!
