MJWalker45 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Already? They just announced a special ceremony to reveal the other FIFA champions patch tomorrow. I figured they'd reveal it the same time as that. Two guesses where they place it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illini1 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm actually surprised Nike didn't have jerseys with the third star ready for players to wear for the trophy presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could also see it put under the swoosh as a way of balancing the shirt. Here's to hoping the men can put on one in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nike isn't moving the Swoosh. Also, is the FIFA champion patch worn on the jersey for every game or just specific matches and tournaments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will wear it at all times until the end of the 2019 World Cup, except for the Olympics when they can't even wear the US Soccer crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStoicPaisano Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Speaking of logo creep, Solo's Golden Glove (or whatever) award looks gauche with the adidas logo being the focal point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Speaking of logo creep, Solo's Golden Glove (or whatever) award looks gauche with the adidas logo being the focal point.Agreed. They could've put the name and logo on the base. But seeing as adidas wants to get as much exposure as possible for all the money they paid out, it's not a surprise.

But seeing as adidas wants to get as much exposure as possible for all the money they paid out, it's not a surprise.Just a counterpoint to all the officially sanctioned (mods let this stay separate from the soccer thread) bitching about Nike. Unlike Rawlings, these awards are just a generic glove designed specifically to draw attention only to the three stripes.In other words, both companies can be guilty of logo creep/VFVS.

MJWalker45 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 It's actually an older adidas glove, same as the boots are adidas Copas. Since adidas sponsored the award I don't have a problem with them using actual adidas gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tajmccall Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I'm actually totally fine using volt as a color. And NOTHING was worse than those strange runningjacket 2011 pieces of trash, so although I don't like that we're looking like the Mexican men's white jerseys, the actual template itself is fine. These were horrible. Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I still think national team uniforms should match the country they represent. If this year's kit used 2011 colors they'd have been received much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I still think national team uniforms should match the country they represent. If this year's kit used 2011 colors they'd have been received much better.As much as I dislike the volt/black scheme, I did get to thinking this morning, and maybe this is the dawn of a new look for the US (likely just the women).Much like Italy's blue, and the Netherland' orange (and even the Japan women's pink), maybe this could become one of those things that they can own. Especially because women's international soccer is still relatively young, years down the road, people may not even question the US having a black/green kit.Like I said, I don't love it, but the more I think about it, I could actually see it working.

Netherlands flag used to be orange, white, and blue. I think that Italy uses blue because it was a color used for one of the royal families in its history??? Not sure about the Italy one but I'm pretty sure it has to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 They say "well not all countries use their flag's color" and that's fine for those other countries, but those are also established looks for those countries (Italy's blue, Netherlands' orange, Japan in blue, etc) and they have a history of wearing a color outside of their flag. The United States has always worn red white and blue in all sports and yesterday I felt like I was watching a Nike commercial because I basically was watching a nike commercial.I was so hoping they'd wear the blue kits yesterday.
