gdu Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Didn't notice this initially, but i don't like the detail on the sockshttp://www.ussoccerstore.com/enlarge.html?http://ep.yimg.com/ay/yhst-96316601417599/nike-usa-2014-2015-home-socks-5.jpgI think the home kit is classy, little plain, but that's better than ugly.I really loved our old number font, it was unique and i thought worked for us. Didn't think a change was necessary and would've liked a custom font, but it's still a nice choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdu Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 The Dutch font looks clean and crisp compared to previous shirts.Designed especially for the kits by legendary Dutch typographer Wim Crouwel, no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Wow, now that nearly all kits are released (except Greece haha) I think that the tournament will look great. Apart from the few shorts errors from Adidas I like nearly every single kit.Indeed - it's not been too bad so far, to be honest. It should be a decent looking tournament.

David_Haberman Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 So did anyone else notice that there seems to be some discrepancy in the renders released of the USMNT kit?This is on nikeinc.com:This is on ussoccerstore.com:I wonder if the blue edge of the collar and hidden buttons are only on authentics (match) and not on replicas (stadium)?

aawagner011 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Probably just a minor different between the two because I already have a replica and the outer visible part of the trim is red and the underside is blue. They might have it shown that way in the launch photos just so you are aware the underside is blue. Also here is another shot where it looks like the authentic has the buttons hidden behind the fabric. Not a big enough deal. Doesn't change the way the design looks. I want to see the entire number font. I have only seen one or two numbers so far. A shot of the front with numbers would be nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Didn't like the kit much to begin with, but I'm particularly sad we're losing the font that we've had since 2006. I liked that font a lot and it was nice to have that bit of continuity from year to year. Looks like Nike is changing all of its custom fonts for 2014 (though Croatia still has the same old generic Nike font it's always had).

hawk36 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Agreed, the US kits look bland...At least finding cheap replica's will be easyhttp://www.amazon.com/Adidas-ClimaLite-Shirt-White-Small/dp/B00I9FYQJ4/ref=sr_1_26?ie=UTF8&qid=1393871220&sr=8-26&keywords=white+polo+red+trimI liked this quote from an article, "The shirt is available now and will fit all of your business casual needs for $90."

El Scorcho Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The USA kit has tried to go for understated and classy and has just come out as nothing. There is literally nothing on there you could call a design feature.Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 All Greece ever seems to do is take a templated kit with blue highlights (i.e. Adidas stripes in 2010, Nike cuffs in 2014) so I'm not surprised in the least. I suppose as long as a certain colour-named member of the boards is happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmackman Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 So now is the USA away kit the only non-released kit left? "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLJ Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The thing that irks me the most about the US kit, outside of the fact that its uninspiring, bland, and looks like a golf shirt, is that Nike and the team had an opportunity to stake a claim to an identity and just passed up on the opportunity. As much as some people hate the Waldo-kits (I personally love them), they scream America. Blue shorts, red stripes? You can't get more American flag than that. And while I'm not a huge fan of all the sash jerseys (some are better than others), at least that can be their thing. I'd rather Nike swing and miss than not swing at all.
