gdu Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 So maybe being in the group of death isn't such a bad thing after all now. It means we'll get to see these for a couple of matches and then they'll be retired to expunge any bad memories and never worn again. (Not hoping for those results, but hoping for the retiring of these kits after a short run)Our World Cup matches should beGhana (all white) v. USA (hideous)USA (all white) v. Portugal (all red/maroon) <- really glad to be in all white for this game since it is in ManausUSA (all white) v. Germany (red/black) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not hoping for those results, but hoping for the retiring of these kits after a short run)USA (all white) v. Germany (red/black)That one will look good. The Germany kit is really sharp and I think the all white USA kit is fine. It's not an ugly kit. It's just way too plain compared to previous ones and it has no team/country recognition. It could be any country's kit. There are so many other ways they could've gone with this same template that would've looked so much more distinctive.The away kit is just hideous.

Maybe we luck out and they toss out an alternate that they'll prefer to wear in the meantime, but it's likely this until the next WC qualifying cycle. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

VictoriaGooner Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I don't see many national FAs coming out with new kits until EURO 2016. I am a huge fan of the Germany red and black hooped kit...very sharp. i plan to get one Now if CSA could get off their ass and design a better kit through Umbro.

Gothamite Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm actually kind of intrigued by the royal blue. It's not like this is the first time a national team has deviated from its exact traditional color scheme,You're right. For example, England did it a couple years ago, switching from navy to... royal blue. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

JTernup Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 For anyone wondering Soccer Stop Northern Colorado is the location with the product already in stock.Holy crap thats my go to soccer chain, I've been to that location (about 40 minutes from my house) and wouldn't have ever guessed they would be the first to receive the U.S. kits. So your volunteering to go there tomorrow to take more pics of the jersey? I wish lol. I'm going to have to fight the urge to not go blow a bunch of $$$!

aawagner011 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I probed the shop further and got additional pictures. Solid red back. The colors still continue onto the backside of the sleeves.

shaydre1019 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Sweet thanks! And these are replicas?I don't mind the two tone crest just because the colors on it are already bad and wrong to most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if Nike drops a special Gold Cup kit for next year.A couple of important differences to note. The red one was simply an alt based on the same template as the WC shirts and this years WC shirts don't use the same template and have lots of red, white and blue (between the 2). And last years "alt" was to celebrate the program's centennial or we wouldn't have gotten one.We may see a new shirt for the Gold Cup (I certainly hope we do), but I wouldn't count on it.

But, dated badge sides, it just doesn't look like the US to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 The worst US kit of all time. No doubt about it. Absolutely hideous. Anyone know what color shorts it'll be paired up wih? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
