We need a new crest and brand sponsor.

Did we even use that 2020 away kit?



vs Panama in 2020
vs El Salvador in 2020
vs Jamaica in 2021
vs Switzerland in 2021
vs Honduras in 2021

It's actually more than we wore the bomb pops in 2014/15.

This would be garbage and I'm glad it will never happen.

A couple of those concepts are ok, but this the GOAT concept kit.

Never is a long time for a nation with no loyalty to any one design. I’ll keep dreaming.

The 2004-05 kits really take me back. That was prime Nike Total 90 days.

Has nothing to do with no loyalty to designs and everything to do with the fact that no kit designer worth a shite would think big block "USA" letters across the chest is a good idea.

Wow, thanks. That shows how little my brain has retained. Kinda scary for me.

I can normally remember obscure details of USMNT games even in the distant past, but the last three and a half years ever since the Couva disaster have blurred together in my mind. I forgot we drew France in that friendly before they won the World Cup, along with a bunch of other matches.

Maybe COVID is contributing to that. It feels like ten years ago when we played Cuba in the Cayman Islands on that high school field for the Nations League qualifier, but it wasn’t even two years ago.

I’ll have to go back and watch highlights of every USMNT game since Couva before the Gold Cup. Even the painful ones where we looked like garbage.

It’s a shame we never got to wear the nice 2018 kits in the World Cup. I feel bad for the designer at Nike who spent probably hundreds of hours on those kits, expecting their work to be seen on the world stage, only for us to faceplant and not qualify.

What i find to be interesting, is that the pattern on the new kits, is the same pattern of the new seats in the new Columbus Crew stadium. Coincidence? Columbus has always been the unofficial home of USA Soccer, makes you wonder if there is anything to this?

The rocket ship soccer ball was terrible. Reminds me of the Microsoft Paint designed kits I had when I played U14 Rec ball in 2001.

The new crest is definitely an upgrade. It's not great, but easily better.

I highly doubt there's any connection. They didn't even install the first row of seats until February. These jerseys were probably in development long before then.

Agreed. I think everyone can agree the retro crest with the stars instead of the "USA" was the best we've ever had.

The thing I hate about the new crest is that's it's too generic. It doesn't symbolize anything regarding US soccer. The bobsled team, table tennis, fencing, etc could all use it and you never know.

It reminds me of the off brand shirts youd see at old navy or target on Olympic years you could buy to show your "support".
