HatCityEnforcer Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Just a brief review of the Nike kits....Mexico -- LOVE the sublimated Aztec designs in the stripe in the middle. Also, I like the nod to the past with a number font that mimics what they used for the 1970 WC logo (and 68 Olympics).South Korea -- Clean...pretty much what you'd expect from a classic kit. Number font is kinda funky, but it actually does work with this.Brazil -- WOW! Pele would feel right at home in these. Classic look for Brasil, as they should havePortugal -- Very nice...LOVING the change strip (all black)...the number font is pretty cool too (kinda looks like the ones from 2002 with a bit of a twist)Holland -- OMFG! The primary kit is just CLASSIC....the white strip is pretty nice too (less emphasis on the orange and more on the red/blue of the national flag)...Oranje bouwen indeed! USA -- Sweet...the blue kit looks great. Heck, even the white one looks good...and I like the added touch of a bit of gold around the shield. Hell, I don't even mind the red/blue stripe down the front of the sock on the white kit.And yes...Nike's using unique number fonts for all the teams....VERY nice touch.In conclusion...I LOVE what I see out of Team Swoosh. Now, I'm kinda amped to see what they do for Croatia and Australia as well. FANTASY TEAMSHousatonic U. Dragons (NCFA Basketball): 16-6 (8-4 Conf.)--National Runner-UpJersey State U.

MJWalker45 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Something else they are doing is adding a special touch to each team's uni's. Bazil has a tag at the bottom hem of their jerseys that says "born to play football", Mexico has the Aztecs in the striping. Not sure what all the other sides have though. I think the U.S. and Portugal have the best looking numbers. I'd really like to see if Nike makes each team's numbers available to it's club teams and the general public.

TFoA Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Only thing I'd change for the Oranje would be orange socks on the home kit... Other than that, WOW, I am loving the new kit. Nike is now officially back in my favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totc Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I actually remember watching a US game where they were wearing the carolina blues (though I don't remember who they played against). glad to see the style resurface Mexico, 1995 -- the game where Alexi had his nads kneed.

DEAD! Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Wow! Nike did a really good job with the jerseys. The one thing that bothers me the most though, are the side panels on the Korean kits. Not necessary. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Australia's new kit. Classic green and gold for the first strip, obsidian blue with gold cuffs for the away strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keynote Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Nike is now officially back in my favor. Which makes me even more bummed that Trinidad & Tobago (where my family is from) signed with Adidas this year. From what I've seen so far, I prefer the worst Nike kit to the best Adidas kit. I'll be buying a kit regardless (the Soca Warriors aren't exactly World Cup regulars), but it's a shame that it'll likely be an eyesore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr79 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Australia's new kit. Classic green and gold for the first strip, obsidian blue with gold cuffs for the away strip. Arrrrrgh I thought we'd finally ditched the blue away kits when Nike replaced adidas The home kit looks class, but if it was truly modelled after 1974 as Nike claim it'd have a green collar, or at least green trim around the collar. But of course Brazil got a green collar, so we had to have something different on ours.I'm wondering if the Australian numbers are the same as the Brazilian ones... they do appear similar, but I think they're slightly different.

jr79 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Not sure if it was here that I read it but the Portugese fans aren't happy because they've got red shorts.Just like the Barca fans weren't happy with red shorts.... what is the obsession at Nike with red shorts that aren't traditional?

Primal Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Arrrrrgh I thought we'd finally ditched the blue away kits when Nike replaced adidas I don't mind a blue away strip. The colours (blue and gold) have historical meaning so there's nothing really wrong with it so long as the design isn't horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc51design Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 here comes croatia. From the photo it looks like the back is plain white which I don't like, and I don't like the checkerds stripe on the road shirt to stop for the logo... lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB33 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 MORE PHOTOS OF THE U.S. KITS: Has Nike applied the unsymmetrical look from college football to the U.S. home kits?Granted, it looks better here but still, makes you wonder... #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 here comes croatia. From the photo it looks like the back is plain white which I don't like, and I don't like the checkerds stripe on the road shirt to stop for the logo... The plain back is probably due to FIFA requiring that numbers be placed on a plain area, (no stripes checks, slashes, etc). Though I would have made space just for the numbers and nameplate rather than leave the whole back empty. As for the aways, they look nice, but I would have stuck to the design of the last kit.
