shaydre1019 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 full-front image:Wow I really hope that is legit!1. I initially liked the first leak my only complaint being the boxes.. I HOPE they addressed this and did away with them or at least the front ones.2. I'm curious to see what bottom combination they pair this with.3. So far I'm satisfied with what has leaked and I am anxiously awaiting Nike to release some game photos of Clint Dempsey wearing the new kit the way they have with the past few. Probably gonna buy one1. They have to have the back box, as FIFA regulations state that the player's number must be on a solid background.But yes, I love this. I've long thought that the US should wear hoops to mimic the flag, and well, because they just look so good.All in all, though, I definitely like it.I thought that was the rule too, but I recall the initial designs for the '08..? Unis had the back boxed, but that may have been because the lines were so thin.Do you know if a team can get away with just outlining the numbers like Argentina..??

tapsilog Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I liked this until I saw the ghost sash across the front. What were they thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I liked this until I saw the ghost sash across the front. What were they thinking?I actually like the sash. I like that you know it's there but it's very subtle. Like some one said earlier it doesn't scream out at you.On another note, does anyone else think a powder blue away would be awesome?? I think it would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krona Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Id like to see a blue/green (tarnished copper) for a third. A "liberty" campaign akin to DTOM or red ones of the past would be great. It's a great American theme that hasn't been properly exploited for our national teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougaldo Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Just for a try, why not mimic the flag w/ navy sleeves, maybe with stars on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 US Soccer Federations needs to fix the badge. Needs to be red and white stripes not blue and white. Blue and White stripes makes it look like the Cuban flag. A simple tweak like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 As much as I understand and agree that the colors should be swapped around, any attempt I've seen to correct this just seems off to me. Somehow it doesn't really bother me, despite the incorrect colors. Aside from the flying ball, I like our badge as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Fixing the colors would be a nice first step, but it's an ugly badge all around. It really needs to be scrapped and replaced from scratch. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I still love the Nike DTOM badge. Take off the Nike tick and this is perfection, IMO. Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I would like the DTOM as the crest much better if the black were swapped for navy blue and the "US SOCCER" switched to either USA or United States. The scroll could be used for denoting the match opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 If only Nike saw it your way, illwauk.At least we had a sort-of return to that for this year's kit. Those DTOM kits were ACE! Though, I will admit like Digby said that this year's red kit was fantastic and very similar to the DTOM's, besides the lack of white in the sash. Both were great.As much as I prefer the 2006 (1950) kits, I would be more than happy to "settle" for this year's red shirts as the permanent primaries.

Ben7 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 ugh that design is certainly not to my liking. hoping the secondary/away will be cool, if they are doing one.Thankfully it should be retired and replaced before the World Cup 2014 I guess.US Soccer Federations needs to fix the badge. Needs to be red and white stripes not blue and white. Blue and White stripes makes it look like the Cuban flag. A simple tweak like this. I like your tweak and agree with the reasons behind it.Any chance you could modify it a bit more? (switching the red frame to gold, making it bolder. leaving out the other outer frames. making the stars all white, with no shades) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
