djones3333 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 As you know, the US National Soccer Team unveiled their new away kit on February 29th in a 1-0 victory over Italy. However, they decided not to unveil their home kit nor a possible 3rd kit. If it were up to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTernup Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I like it but as far as the recent aesthetic of USMNT kits you seem to be going backward to the late 90's and early 00's. I like the look in and of itself but it's just a little off compared to their recent kits.

aawagner011 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Honestly not a fan. Just too many contrasting ideas going on and it doesn't mesh the way the new away kit does. I'd say back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look in and of itself but it's just a little off compared to their recent kits.Suggestion?I think a large reason why the contrasting sleeves work on the new away kit is because the sash is so subtle and not a "main" feature. It is quite toned down. I think the sash looks a bit strange rendered in both light gray and red. I know the old blue kit with the white sash had a red outline, but the main feature was the sash, not the outlines. Also, one reason the numbers can go in the middle of the new away kit is because the sash is so subtle. Here, you've got some real color on the sash, so the numbers will kinda get lost. I'm also finding that the combination of a "dominant" sash mixed with contrasting sleeves is a bit much. I'd also go for a swap of shorts insignia and put the real crest there.

curswine Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Try and limit the kit to three colours at most, here I can see five (white, grey, red, blue, gold) as well as it making it look better it's also a FIFA ruling that national team kits can't have more than three (prominent) colours. Also try and make the crest colour the same as that used on the rest of the shirt or vice versa, it will help a lot. The number being on the same colour background is a big no too.

djones3333 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Here is a completely different idea. I used the idea of horizontal red stripes for the jersey, but I also included the blue sleeves. Also, I replaced the "USA" on the shorts with the crest and changed the location of the numbers on the front.Tell me what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
