re: US Centennial Gear...pics included MAY BE GERMANS

Question: I"m a casual soccer fan (USMNT pretty much exclusively). I love these jerseys, but feel like wearing another name/number on my back is pretty lame (call it Big X syndrome).

I'm very concerned with how random dudes on a message board would feel about my fashion choices, so, my question is how terrible would it be to get one of the replica jerseys with say just the number 88 (my baseball number since I was 9 or so) on it considering that number would never actually show up on a soccer pitch.

Also, this MFer:



only seems to be on WorldSoccerShop and not USSoccerShop. Sketch? I'd lean towards the retro jersey on WorldSoccerShop if I could confirm it was Dri-fit. Their details are lacking.

Any help would be appreciated.

I say put whatever the frick you want on it, you're supporting the team, anyone who has a problem with the number or name on the jersey is a wanker.

I was hoping this question would catch his attention. That retro jersey is sweet and would render the first question moot.

I agree with this. I'm debating what I want for the jersey. Leaning towards a blank one.

what if you got the name and number of a player on the 1913 team?
that would be hardcore

No clue. My first inclination looking at the picture is that it's not a dri-fit. Maybe email WSS and see if they can tell you?

Mine should come in today. Ill try to post pictures later.

Authentic:








Replica:

I have an unopened authentic as well. Since they only made 2013 of them. I am going to sell at a later date. Im going to be pissed when it's #1 out of 2013.

For those that purchased the authentic, how does it look size-wise, compared to the replica?
