gdu 160 Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah the 2010 kit was very meh for me. Not sure why anyone would pick it out as being a highlight.The hoops one is nice, thats a given and the 2006 kit was very satisfactory and quite pleasing on the eye as well. I'll wait to see the new one in action, and while it is very reminiscent of what England wear, it has the potential to be quite nice too.I love the 2010 home and 3rd kits. Not arguing that everyone else should feel the same or that they were iconic. But I thought they were instantly recognized as American and had a nice mix of traditional and contemporary feel. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboycool 6 Posted April 29, 2014 As far as an identity for our national team I feel we should have red hoops as our primary kit, navy with a sash for our change kit and an all white look for our third kit. Just seems like the best looks for us. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin W. 1,957 Posted April 29, 2014 If the US had worn blue shorts with the white jersey and white socks at the 2010 World Cup (in addition to making the slash contrast with the jersey more) their look would have been perfect and there would have been no need to change it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The US doesn't really have those, so if we are going about creating a perfect look I wouldn't pigeon hole us so much. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sozopol 82 Posted April 29, 2014 I really don't like the sash. I just can't shake the miss america vibe. Or napoleonic officer, if you prefer. I am so glad they didn't settle on that as the iconic look. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sickboycool 6 Posted May 14, 2014 It doesn't matter how good your kits look when everybody wears these it will all be ruined...All three companies majorly whiffed although Nike probably whiffed the least but they still aren't good. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yet, Spain's awful clash kit and Mexico rank way too high. Italy that high too? Nowhere near a very good list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TorinK92 314 Posted May 15, 2014 Just remember that these people who write these articles are not us. They look at all the kits and go "that's perdy" and rate off of that. Not to mention these lists should not be written by just one person since its all subjective, he should have at least waited until Bosnia's kits came out as well.Also, after seeing (almost) all of the world cup kits on the same page, I'd have to say one of my favorites is Russia, if not my favourite. The home is dark and classy and the change, while interesting, is not garish by any means. I would have also put Iran in the top half of the list at least, not dead last. Interesting that they only rated it on the change kit. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamikel 91 Posted May 15, 2014 Not sure how you rank Italy's kit #4 and the other nearly-identical Puma kits down in the 20's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboycool 6 Posted May 15, 2014 That list is complete nonsense. They have no idea what a good and bad kit look like. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MJWalker45 5,783 Posted May 24, 2014 That list is complete nonsense. They have no idea what a good and bad kit look like. Especially when dealing with the USA kits. Their away shirt is the lesser of the two kits yet gets rated 4/5. And they take great joy in giving Wilshere crap. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
