I'll allow it. You'll thank me later when Russia wins World Cup 2018.

If that's real, that's gotta be the warm up tops.

Nope, training kits don't have the numerical authentication tags on the bottom left.

I will say this in every USMNT kit thread until it happens. The Waldos should be our identity like Argentina with sky blue vertical stripes, Brazil in yellow and blue, and Germany in white and black. Of course, I guess it is possible that they could bring those back since this has been leaked as an away kit. I'll admit to being on the Nike bandwagon over Adidas and Puma, but these last few USA kits have been terrible. I figured the blackout phase was just a thing to get people to buy USWNT jerseys. I guess I may be wrong. I figured Nike would have realized the whole blackout thing was played out 10 years ago.

US Soccer and Nike signed a nine-year deal back in 2013 and when it's over Nike will have been the official kit sponsor for 25+ years. Don't see that changing anytime soon.

Well this is depressing.

Adidas has done pretty well with their kits recently. At this point I would love to see them switch.

Same response I had to the LSU baseball jersey thread:

would love to see sales number per kit style. would wager the current home/aways have been some of the lowest selling based purely on seeing what the fans are wearing at games.

see way more bomb pops/waldos/centennial's than the polos and shite blue fade away unis.

I'm fine with the new crest but I despise the jersey.

McBro, you mentioned that you think Nike try to hard. I actually think from the opposite end: they appear to not try at all.

US Soccer giving Nike 25 years to create kits has produced disappointing and embarrassing products. If the US wants a better kit perhaps it is time to open up the process to competing makers.

As an avid Nike fan that buys running shoes, cleats, Air Max's, Jordans, all my work out gear and pretty much everything from Nike I disagree.

The one reason I prefer Nike is because of their simplicity. There's nothing more clean to me than a white or black shirt with just a Nike swoosh on it.

I prefer that styling than Adidas stripes that they insist on using that I think are eysores.

My favorite US kit of all time is the Centennial one. Clean as frick, simple styling and a classic, but modern look. Not much going on in the design which I think is perfect.

The blending of colors I don't like in this one. First opinions are a no on the leaked kit, but I won't give a full verdict until I see an official release.

While I don't think my opinion will change all that much, the numbers and font could make it somewhat less of an eyesore.

I'm trying to be optimistic

I love the current white polo. Simple and clean. I don't get the hate for it. But no kit thread would be complete without us pining for this bad boy right here..
