Bouj Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I wonder if the solid navy font will be available for fan jerseys, and if so, I'm curious as to when that would happen.The navy font is a mock-up based upon what we think it should look like. There is no indication Nike is going in that direction, so there is nothing to go on sale. I do think they'll have to put contrasting numbers on there when WC qualifying begins because the uniform is out-of-regs (numbers aren't clearly legible). Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

guest23 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Aren't both of those colors lighter than our current navy??Regarding soldier field, if I'm no mistaken, when we played the gold cup final there it was a pro Mexico crowd.I'm sure you know why that was, right? that's been a huge issue for the national team...basically the west coast is more of a home field advantage for latin american countries than it is for the yanks.pretty soon the home fixtures will have to be moved to toronto or montreal.

Bouj Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 So are they changing the numbers or not? And are the wearing the hoops tonight, or are they wearing the blue sweatervests? Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdu Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 So are they changing the numbers or not? And are the wearing the hoops tonight, or are they wearing the blue sweatervests?Hoops.I'd be a little suprised if they changed the numbers and a little more surprised if they did it before tonight's game.

I realized the image earlier in the thread was a fan mock-up. It does seem a likely solution based off of Grant Wahl's tweet. I was thinking of all those fans who have purchased a personalized jersey that has a font that won't be used and wondering out loud if US Soccer would continue to sell the illegible numbers to their fans.

Mr. Aware Eagle Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The kits indeed have blue numbers tonight. Yes, I root for teams all over the place. And I apparently favor birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJM Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Kits look way better with the darker shirt numbers...hopefully fans can get the darker numbers as well.

evanmaldonado Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'm pretty sure the numbers still have the pattern on it, but they just switched the white and navy. At least that's how it looks to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilliesPhan1325 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 They switched at half? I guess the players don't like the navy numbers... "The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! STRUCK HIM OUT!

illini1 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 They switched at half? I guess the players don't like the navy numbers...They didn't switch at half. They're wearing the same jerseys as the first half. I don't think the announcer noticed the new numbers until the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcer is the legendary Ian Darke, very famous for calling English Premier League games on Sky (via Fox Soccer Channel) but has been calling all the games televised on ESPN-2 since the last World Cup. He's one of the best in the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Well, Phil Knight probably has a big smile on his face. Even for a friendly this one was hyped up quite a bit and both teams look sharp in Nike's best.

aawagner011 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Three different @GrantWahl tweets:If you knew the work the US backroom staff went through to get new navy numbers for the uniforms tonight, you would be impressed.The jersey number color switch will cost US Soccer close to six-figures at the very least, by the way.US jersey snafu was not Nike's fault. US Soccer Federation took charge of numbering a while back.[[side note from me- shame about the result. Brazil is very potent to score at any point and they certainly showed that tonight. However, I do agree that the US had a good showing offensively and definitely had some unlucky breaks with the way the ball fell tonight. Easily could have been a more level scoreline.]] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
