Possible Leak of US Centennial Kit

Nike is starting to use Celtic as the USA template

Is this the one that pays homage to the 1913 jerseys? If so that's pretty cool.. If not, then these kits suck imho

shut the frick up

no there are not, just b/c they made a hoops jersey. Note to Bhoy celtic is not the only club to have hoops.

Honestly I think they did just about the best they could while keeping with the 1916 kit look.

I was planning on getting the hoops jersey because I think it's perfect for the US, but I think this may have changed my mind. That's a clean kit.

I like it.

I hope the blue part of the sleeves isn't super long and goofy like Everton and Brazil... But I'm on board.

I've decided I'm buying this when it comes out, and not the hoops jersey. This thing is just too damn classy. All the comments on SBI are overwhelmingly positive, and these two made me lol:

Wow. Our crest used to look like THAT!? That’s awesome! Why did we ever change?

because in 1983 some intern found a neat way to edit clipart files….

I really like the small touches they put in the bottoms of the seams on the sides of the shirt. Very nice.

Did not notice this at first. That's a really nice touch.

I still say GC's hybrid of that old crest and the snake is the best.

The best we can do is email Sunil. I just did. Y'all should do the same. I would have included GC's logo but I'll let him do that if he really wants to.

His email is skg21@columbia.edu, btw.

Hi Mr. Gulati,

First and foremost, I’d like to state that I’m a huge fan of the USMNT. I’ve seen the team play here in the US, against Italy in Genoa, and in Paris against France, and when our national team plays, nothing is more important to me. I’m sure it has come to your attention that a potential design of the US centennial kit has “leaked.” I really hope that you and Nike are listening to the response of US fans, as I believe in general the USSF is attentive to the opinions of those who provide their undying support to US Soccer. If you haven’t already, please take some time to read the comments section from the below article:

I have never, EVER seen such a positive response to a jersey or a crest for the USMNT. Please, for the love of God, stick with this crest design. It is the opinion of most US fans that our current crest looks amateurish at best. I think it’s alright myself, but certainly nothing special. The throw-back crest, or some variation of the “Don’t Tread On Me” snake design, would be far superior to our current crest.

For the record, I WILL be buying one of these if this happens to be the actual jersey.

So, to conclude, please listen to your fans on this one. We are the ones who travel across the globe to see the USMNT play and devote our time (and money!) to the cause.

Thanks for your time,

cwil (not actually how I signed it)

PS – Did I mention that one of the games I went to here in the US was the 2011 Gold Cup final? I know I don’t need to say any more. You totally owe me for that one.

Yep, my phone background, I'll consider getting around to that email after this physics test. I'm distracting myself enough with the soccer board
