raysox Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The best the US have looked in recent years is the red and white hoops. Just look.If they do get a new kit, I'd still get a hooped one for Christmas. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The red and white hoops are my favorite US kit too. I have one and it just looks awesome. I hope the World Cup kit is similar to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I think the 06 kits would have been my favourite, had they not been sreaming to be that that was what Serbia should have been wearing. So I'll concur, althought I only have the blue from the last WC in my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 For all this talk of the USA not having a set identity, I'd argue we do. The kits haven't always had a single look, but I'd say the biggest wins in our soccer history have come in white with navy trim. The red/white stripes is nice but feels forced, IMO. Donovan's goal vs Algeria, the 09 Confed Cup, just about every big match vs Mexico I can remember (including 2002 WC)... all in white. Would it placate the "looks like England" crowd if the USA stuck with white shorts? I'd say the US looks best in all-white at home, red top/navy shorts clash.

Bayne Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hoops are the most distinctive look they have had by far. The rest make them look like a forgettable place filler team.

Billy B Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I think the best the US has looked by far is the red and white hoops with navy shorts. You can instantly tell it's the US, hoops in general are unique in international soccer, and it just looks good. I really hope the World Cup kits stick with the hoops.

MJWalker45 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I just want them to avoid all white or all blue kits like they did with those 2010 kits. Having the shorts contrast with the shirts and socks looks way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If the rumors are to be believed though, FIFA are really pushing monochrome kits for the 2014 World Cup. Hope we keep the hoops though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Apparently they're very keen on socks and shorts matching the shirts, a shame as in general I like a bit of contrast between the various kit elements.Anyway, here's something new - a limited edition Lazio home shirt from Macron...To be worn in a single match - against Fiorentina in October - the shirt commemorates what would have been the 100th birthday of Italian football legend Silvio Piola.

Jaffa Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Another commemorative shirt, this time from South America - Club Nacional de Football are marking 110 years since Uruguay’s first international win with this shirt...The Uruguay team was made up entirely of Club Nacional players, hence their choosing to mark the anniversary.I like it aside from the faux collar - if you're wanting to have a flappy collar, have a proper flappy collar. Tsk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means they'll probably be blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we keep the hoops though.They pushed that at 2010 World Cup as well. For some teams it looks good. For green teams,( Algeria, Ireland and Iraq) it would look ugly.

gdu Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Is this a champions league specific midlayer? I hadn't seen this template before, but I didn't think Nike did specific CL stuff like some of the other mfgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that unless the sponsor directly sponsors the Champions League teams aren't allowed to wear them on sideline gear. At least the attempt to make everyone wear a set font for names and numbers didn't stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I figured it came down from UEFA. I haven't seen an actual statement saying it was required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think you may be confused. The Champions League does not have a standardized font. Here's last year's final at Wembley:And from this year, Arsenal's match at Fenerbahce (the only time the Gunners wore blue shorts with their red-and-white shirt):Most teams have a special CL font they use, but they're all different. Some are custom for each team, some are standard manufacturer fonts, but they're not mandated by UEFA. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
