NickSixers Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 If nothing else, just place a US flag patch where the US Soccer badge normally is featured on the shirt. It currently looks silly with nothing but a number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilt Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yeah, it looks like a team buying teamwear and they can't even afford to print the logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think it's because the teams are meant to be representing the nation, not the federation.It's not like the federations are separate from the countries, though. That's a ridiculous rule. Teams don't represent their federations in the World Cup, they represent their countries.Then again, we've already established that the IOC has conceded the high ground when it comes to advertising and branding anyway.Nope, at the World Cup, they're representing their FIFA-member football federation as well and not the country - hence why idiots in charge can get you DQ'd.

Saintsfan Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 The Olympic Teams represent their respective Olympic Committees, and thus, not their soccer federations. Hence why Team GB can have their crest and the US women can't.The US team could have a US Olymic logo on their jersey, just not a USSF badge. It's easier for Great Britain, because the British Olympic Association has a clothing contract with adidas. The USOA doesn't usually have one clothing deal, which can make things tricky. Also it means the US Olympic team is less uniform than other Olympic teams. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Anyone else have issues reading numbers on MLS Jerseys last night? It was a nice thought but not executed well. And I deplored the hash tag BS as well. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yeah, the numbers were pretty hard to read most of the time. I think it would have liked pretty cool if they were more legible. But it's the ASG, I'm fine with Adidas experimenting there and throwing out what doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda reminded me of some of Oregon's foray into crazy numbers... Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdu Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I didn't think the numbers were that bad, considering it was an all-star team/game. My hometown team has foil-looking numbers, but they are easy to read in the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Bad. And why would they decide to recolor the crest black and white when the only white is the sponsor/adidas logos? Black and yellow would have looked much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Let me guess? Showing off the Predator jersey? That's ugly. Torres looks like he's trying to hard. Kinda like when he's in front of goal. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Apart from the tinfoil numbers, those MLS kits are surprisingly restrained. I expected worse.Those Chelsea kits are atrocious.

shaydre1019 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 AwfulThose remind me of that X skate team from the disney movie Brink. Even Fernando Torres can't make those look good..He actually kinda resembles the dude from that movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
