I can confirm that the new US home kit will be white from head to toe. However, royal blue will be swapped for navy!!

Like we're gonna ave royal blue accents?? (or was royal blue the rumor? Because I honesty don't remember)
I don't have the specifics are far as if it's royal blue trim, stripes, sash, etc but I do know that it will be the featured accent color. I will provide my source in a moment.

Rumor was red. Navy has been the alternate since 2000 so at least it won't look as bad as all red. Liverpool can pull off that look, USA cannot.

Sorry, I meant to say that the home kit (traditionally white with navy blue accents) will now be white with royal blue accents. Here is one of my trusty old sources...soccerpro.com. They've got the links up live, sans pictures.

The US home kit is white head to toe with royal blue trim. If you look at the Nike stock numbers, those last three digits are the color code. Each one is color code 105. Supposedly the crest is enlarged, though it does not specify which crest is used.

If it is to be believed that the men's and women's teams will wear the same kits from here on out, then it can also be reasonably confirmed the away will be red, as suspected. Here are links to two women's jerseys, the away jersey bearing a red color code.

On a side note, it appears lots of other national teams upcoming kits are there (in the same fashion, just without pics). Some have descriptions, others don't. From a brief glance, it looks like Spain will indeed wear black with "electricity" for the away...Germany in black/red away, France in navy blue...etc. I am just particularly concerned with the US kit.

My next step will be to take the Nike stock numbers to dig even further. I have had great success doing this in the past so my hopes are high.

The all white I can get down with. They royal blue I cannot. So are we going to recolor the badge, too, which has been navy since 1996 or so?

Damn, how many times is USA going to change the kit? Finally they find something unique and American when they did the stripes...and now they change it again. I don't get it. Now they are even changing the colors from navy to royal? Do they not want an identity? Our flag is red/white/navy. Not red/white/royal like 100 other countries.

Another website has some listings for 2014 Nike shirts. They are designating the replicas as "Stadium Jersey" and the authentics as "Match Jersey." I know this isn't just the specific shop's title for the products because I have Soccer Pro lists their authentic models as "Match Jersey." I genuinely hope this isn't a change in direction for Nike's replicas. I don't mind if the materials and technology are different between the two, but these pictures will show you what I mean. I have seen examples of Adidas skipping a few details in the design on their replica models to create the incentive for the customer to buy the $150 authentic.

Sorry for the onslaught of posts but I feel like I am making solid breakthroughs today. This is essentially the 2014 Adidas World Cup catalog (plus a few odds and ends). You can't see any of the kits, but the colors are listed and you can see all the training wear gear. Definitely looks like a lot of monochrome.

Warning: File in German. You can still see the merchandise and the colors are in English, however.

The US in all-white with royal instead of navy (which comes from the flag)? Dumb. Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

There are some hints to the away shirt of Germany:

And we get some orange training gear. The colour of our biggest rival.

I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010.

Technically the blue in the flag is in between navy and royal. Plus, color descriptors are usually rather vague. It'll be interesting to see if the royal is closer to what the Dodgers/Cubs wear or what the NY Giants jerseys were in the 80s/90s.
