The all-blue USA cap is fine, IMO. A better cap logo would help out a lot.

 

so basically, only the color is fine.

... obviously. To simplify the admittedly-wordy and roundabout way I originally made my point:

 

A logo that didn't stink would make a red bill cap passable, but no matter what, all-blue would always be the better cap.

I feel like the current logo makes the red bill cap the lesser cap whereas, with a better logo, I could see an argument for a red bill. But, even then, all-blue just feels right to me. You don't need much red for a US (or patriotically-themed) team.

 

 

The USA team is also  wearing a contrast bill helmet, but not hat. The red bill makes a a very dull hat so much more exciting.

Not sure if this will be an update for LoanDepot Park. But for the WBC at least the walls are green and to me it is a big improvement from the yankeefied attempt that was made a few years back.

Thats the official WBC green color — all the walls in all the parks are that color.

They should have used an elongated A.

Pretty weird seeing team Columbia rocking the SnapBack caps. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in a professional game.

Was watching a bit of Taiwan-Netherlands. I can't tell if it was the lighting, but Netherlands' jerseys looked navy blue. Even the coaches' gear looked navy. Probably just the way fabric reflects the lighting.

Does the Great Britain team not include people from the UK that aren't on the Island?  Like if you're an ace pitcher from Belfast, are you ineligible?

Belfast is in Northern Ireland so they're part of Great Britain. Guys from Dublin probably don't count if you go by the usual national team considerations. I'm pretty sure some of these teams are like, "Have you heard of us? You're eligible to play"!!!

No, Great Britain is England, Scotland, and Wales. The United Kingdom is the union between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

USA's uniforms are both boring and ugly

 

Yet still the best uniforms in the tournament.

 

All the different manufacturers are making the tournament look amateurish, USA is the only team that truly has a big league feel to its uniform.

That's true. But the Olympics  uses "Great Britain" to refer to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So this is probably the case in this tournament, as well.

This distinction was formerly held by China.
