Jaffa Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Iran's keeper Haghighi appeared to be wearing a blacked-out pair of Adidas World Cup boots tonight. He'll be disappointed at the loss but least he can take solace in the fact that he was impeccably shod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Maybe it was because of the awesome win this past week, but the red US jerseys have grown on me a lot. I finally pulled the trigger this morning and ordered one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally pulled the trigger this morning and ordered one.I have a white authentic polo coming in the mail tomorrow. Couldn't pull the trigger on those uniforms. I'll say I used to think they were just down-right awful, I've grown a little more accepting of them. For some reason, they look good(ish) on the field. I just wish the blue was a few shades darker.

VictoriaGooner Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I have always loved the all black with white accent on boots. I don't know why football boots need to be so flashy and bright. It's actually almost impossible to buy a pair of boots in black. Oh how I miss the old days THE SHORT FUSE | ARSEBLOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Is it me or is it impossible to find long sleeve jerseys anymore? I noticed Adidas only makes them for MLS teams in the authentic (expensive) style, and I haven't seen Nike making any at all for the USA this cycle. I've got a long sleeve USA replica kit from several years ago. Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how I miss the old days In the uk back in the late seventies, early eighties this was the most popular brand of boots parents could afford back then. I remember mine fondly.

Berlin Wall Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Is there a reason that Belgium wears the captain's armband (Kompany) on the right arm? I also noticed this in their first match against Algeria. It was the first time I ever saw a captain's armband over the right sleeve.. I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If USA is smart they will make the home jersey red next cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the store had the white jerseys with names and numbers I would've bought one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBolt3 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I guess it just depends on the stores you go to, because at my local Dick's, I just walked in and got the red jersey with no problem. Albeit, it was 2 Saturdays ago and I got the last medium, but the point still stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone at the store said they couldn't even get any more because Nike was sold out at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStoicPaisano Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I would've though if the captain goes down to injury (as Dempsey did today) that he gives the band to the next man up. Apparently not.Also, Bob Bradley has his revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters tend to wear red as it shows up on tv much better. Same reason Baylor fans wear yellow to games even though the team's primary look is green/gold.

Supporters tend to wear red as it shows up on tv much better. Same reason Baylor fans wear yellow to games even though the team's primary look is green/gold.I just want some consistency. A problem with the USMNT is that every year their home and away jerseys mark a completely different identity than what they replace. We go from diagonal slashes, to hoops, to polos, to captain America, etc. they change our color scheme randomly (should've just slightly lightened their former blue hue) and we only sometimes have an alternate kit.Let's stick with a look and build off of it. Of course, I am for hoops at home and a blue clash. Stick with hoops (alter the sizes of hoops every now and again) and change up the striping of blue clash occasionally. Or, stick with polo for home and a r/b/w look for clash. Let's form an identity and stick with it. The fanbase is here to stay and soccer in the US is only going to get bigger. Stop "testing out" identities and cement the look that fits this American side the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDesign Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I would kill a man for a red hoops jersey that is under $200. That should be our main look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
