The only think that I can think is that the women's team wanted their own look and "identity" going into the World Cup. That's only true if it holds up as being a women's jersey only. If that's the case, I'll move on with my life. If I have to watch the USMNT play in the Gold Cup with those blue and white monstrosities AND this, I'm going to be upset.

Not an option. As the owner of a limited edition Centennial jersey, I should be consulted on all future kits, and my opinion should be taken into account when choosing a design. It's part of a larger economic freedom thing for me that I feel pretty strongly about, and I'm not going to apologize for that.

Old enough. Of course I got a pair of neon green socks that my daughters bought me for Xmas a few years back because it fits my personality.

I don't have an issue with the jersey - it's in the same vein as the anthracite kit from 2008/09. I didn't like that one at launch and eventually it grew on me.

I eventually stopped caring about the bomb pop, and the new shitty Microsoft WordArt gradient isn't THAT awful.

But, I don't know what in the blue.... errrrr..... neon green frick Nike is doing with the socks.

Horrible, just horrible.

Change the black to blue and add a little red and it would be good.

Not a fan of uniforms that represent nothing about the county/team wearing them.

Yea, maybe if you're Abby Wambach...

Those jerseys are so incredibly awful.

Of course you would defend them though.

More like red, muted blue and grey.

It's not the "standard" crest. But still, the red highlights helped.

The home strips were legit.

But yea the away and third kits were an abomination. But everyone knows that.

I'm not sitting here saying this jersey gets me pussy.

Still the GOAT. It's traditional and clean. Sure, it's plain, but I'd rather a more throwback approach to a simple shirt than tacky black trim and blacked out badges. I usually love and cherish good, clean black and white designs due to PTSD from early web designs and Web 2.0 "shine" phases. I didn't think I could hate something with a clean black and white approach so much until now. Add in those socks, and I feel like this was designed by a 14 year old girl creating and customizing a team on FIFA.

This isn't a 19 year old drug dealer's Dodge Charger you're designing, Nike. Cut that shite out.

I just got the short sleeve version of this, and it makes my pants parts tingly every time I wear it.





I'm hoping I can find some lettering do to a Rimando name set on it.

Thanks for the input, Semantics Champion.

The point I was trying to make is that they didn't use the standard (for that time) crest on the anthracite jerseys.
