Beantown77 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 As someone who has yearned for a return to a red shirt since the 2000 shirts were retired, and as someone who is both going to the sendoff game in Harford on Sunday and headinf over to Germany for the World Cup, I am delighted with this design - so much so that I pre-ordered one from US Soccer as soon as they were available.I love the collar. The shirt design is a bit od a combination of the red 1998 shirt and the retro-1950 throwbacks Nike came out with last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGivens87 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Anyone know/have a feeling if they'll be selling these jerseys at the actual 5/28 game? I hope they do, because I could convince my mom to buy one for me as an early birthday present Also, I'm in Rhode Island - anyone know of any malls/stores in RI/southeastern MA where they sell the "don't tread on me" t-shirts? I just don't wanna have to order one from ussoccer.com and pay like $7 shipping. A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN!

Survival79 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 It might seem obvious, but I think that we should use the shield more often in US national team gear.

Survival79 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Which crest? The retro one, or the "Don't Tread on Me" crest? Both! Exactly. Either way I would be happy.What I really meant was that I think the shield should be used more often for all US national teams, a la the 1932 Team USA hockey throwbacks: "If things have gone wrong, I'm talking to myself, and you've got a wet towel wrapped around your head."

DEAD! Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I have to admit, I like the "Don't Tread on Me" crest (sans Nike logo of course) and the red kits. It's actually nice to see "Soccer" on a football jersey I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterE Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Call me slow but I just realized what "Don't Tread On Me" represents. While doing a Google search for a DTOM t-shirt, I found that during the Revolution, the patriots had "Don't Tread On Me" as a slogan underneath a snake, used on posters and flags. Don't remember that from any History class. I agree, this has to be Nike's most clever logo yet. I would definetely go for this being US Soccer's new logo. If not, the MLS's Revolution could use it. Looks like Nike's been doing their homework. Get Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 That's precisely why it's a great choice for the crest.Either that one or the retro crest would be preferable to the mis-colored one we usually wear.

Sodboy13 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Okay, I went into Niketown on my break, and was disappointed to find they didn't have the ringer tee. What they did have, though, was an enormous amount of merch for several different nations: USA, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, Brazil, Croatia, and probably others I didn't see. What struck me is how much of a departure all of this was from what we've come to expect from Nike these past few years. Rather than cramming the Nike brand down all of these nations' throats and forcing a single template with varying colors upon our senses, the folks at Nike have developed very well thought-out individual styles and identities for each nation, down to unique number fonts. I was perhaps most impressed by Mexico's kit, which features a subtle hint of the Aztec-inspired sublimation from World Cup '94 in the white strip across the front of the shirt. It looks fabulous.I'm usually very anti-Nike, but I've gotta give credit where it's due. This is a company which has stepped up its game for what is arguably the premier stage in international sport. Now let's see if their college football department can take the hint and lay off the piping and back stripes.I'm also fully behind adopting the DTOM crest as the full-time crest. Imagine how cool it would be to have the American squad referred to in international soccer circles as "the Rattlesnakes." Perhaps the top of the crest could be changed from "US SOCCER" to simply "USA" flanked by two stars.

harperdc Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I'm going to get a "Don't Tread on Me" tee during the WC, and I really hope Nike pulls some strings to get that DTOM crest (minus the swoosh, that can be used elsewhere on the kit) as the new permanent one...and that we adopt the red as the official third. I like the new-old style second kit, and I like the stripes on the home....with the red third it'd be complete.hell, anyone else here think this campaign is a drawn-out public test for using it as a possible crest? it's win-win; if people react positively you institute it, if they don't it doesn't have to be a long-term deal.

STL FANATIC Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I too am in love with that crest, but I wish they'd replaced the black and royal blue all with navy. Still looks great and matches the flag much better.Now, that was a quick photoshop recoloring, and it's a little blury, but that gets the idea across.Regardless, I still love what they put out and hope I can find a shirt with it.

paynomind Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I was preparing myself to not like it, but I do. It is cool that we have the diagonal stripe from the old school jerseys, bringing back the red. All good. I hope the replicas of this are affordable. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!
