andrewharrington Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 New jerseys for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers in 2012. The home shirt, with the thicker hoops, more resembles the old 70's-80's shirts but with the red and yellow switched. The alternate jersey is a vast improvement over last season's just plain white.The side panels and the lack of stripes on the sleeves of these jerseys is disaapointing, but I love that they developed a nice typeface based on the original STRIKERS lettering.

-kj Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I still don't understand how a team that wears red and yellow hoops can have a change shirt that's yellow.

Billy B Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I still don't understand how a team that wears red and yellow hoops can have a change shirt that's yellow.I was thinking the same thing. I don't know the league that well, but maybe they don't have to play any teams that wear yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Seems more like a merchandise shirt to me as well. Would they have to change when facing a club wearing red shirts? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the league that well, but maybe they don't have to play any teams that wear yellow?If they were only playing within the league, that's a somewhat good point:Atlanta: red/black/blackCarolina: all-orange (or sometimes orange/white/orange)Edmonton: I'm not sure if their primary is the all-white or all-blue with white sleevesMinnesota: navy/navy/yellowPuerto Rico: all-orangeSan Antoion: all-black (I think)Tampa: green/white/green-yellow hoopsThe two orange teams would make for interesting matchups. I suppose the red/yellow hoops with the black shorts/socks will be different enough.Of course, it's possible that during the course of the US Open Cup or in friendlies they could need something else.

BlazerBlaze Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Any word on if the U-23 team is going to be wearing the new home kit this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdu Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Any word on if the U-23 team is going to be wearing the new home kit this weekend?Of course they won't. We will see it in May or whenever the USMNT has their next home match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 FWIW, the US home jersey has a page waiting "in limbo" on soccerpro.com.http://www.soccerpro.com/Nike-USA-Home-Jersey-2012-p12922/So the product ID is 450449 and the colorway is 648. I always like using this info on Google to find more info before they officially launch. Usually you can find a shop or two that jumps the gun and lists the product. Even though the launch is probably weeks away still, I figured I'd pass along the info.P.S. side note, the away jersey is 450451 410 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxtrot44 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I usually like Adidas' more unique designs (the various Lyon and OM kits from the past few years jump to mind)...but that kit is no bueno...and where did Adidas hide the 3 stripes?

Saintsfan Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 I actually quite like it. The blueing up of the union jack is coming in for some criticism, but I don't mind that at all. I must say that the soccer uniform is not necessarily the best rendering of the general design that the GB team will be wearing across Olympic sports. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Wait since when does England wear Adidas for soccer? Are we sure that's not rugby or something?That's not England, it's the Great Britain Olympic team. Not just football - they're wearing Adidas for all sports.I don't know when it started, but they wore Adidas in Beijing:EDIT: Looks like it started with the LA games in 1984: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

aawagner011 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Wait since when does England wear Adidas for soccer? Are we sure that's not rugby or something?There's no such thing as "England" for the purposes of the 2012 Olympics. Great Britain is competing jointly (England, Wales, N. Ireland, Scotland) as one. This has been a point of controversy as the smaller nations feel as if their independence may be compromised in future international tournaments. Even Sepp Blatter (head of FIFA) can't decide how to react. He has both stated they should compete together and this will in no way affect their independent statuses and also said that there is the possibility that it could have negative consequences.

Don't most countries just send one of their federation squads though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
