There have been a few new U.S. men's national team jersey leaks making their way around the internet on various online shopping sites, but there has been one in particular that carries some legitimate weight.
The jersey pictured above was listed on the online shop for Nike, the official outfitter of the national team, as the new U.S. away kit before being pulled from the website earlier in the day.
The kit is a far cry from some other leaked versions that made it seem like a variation on the starry look from the 1994 World Cup team was making a comeback. This one is considerably simpler, maintains the sash and incorporates white sleeves with an all-blue body and a red-white-and-blue ring around the neck. It would complement the yet-to-be-released home jersey, which is believed to feature red and white hoops.
Are you a fan of the potential new look?
Share your thoughts below.
I don’t like it. What’s it gonna look like when the guys run out with long sleeves?
SExy
except prem teams change their home jerseys all the time.
It’s nice! I just don’t like the collar.
why dont Nike come out with a couple of options and ask the fans to vote, instead of “leaking” designs to gauge people’s reactions? who’s doing the PR for Nike, the republican party?
lame.
Great, our team can look like a bunch of pre-teen private school boys.
I know Nike has to make some money…My solution keep a constant home kit, and the away or third kit can change with the times. Get a crazy as you want. Just keep the home kit the same…Like in the EPL. Do I like this kit? The neck yes, the sleeves and the solid mid. No. Lame… Try again. I like the all black/red look that the women’s team had in the summer. that was sharp for an away look!
soo ugly…looks like a white T under a a cut-off kit.
I like it wayyyy better than the previously leaked jerseys. Much much better, though, like everyone else, wouldn’t mind a little consistency. And a new badge. The current one is just… tacky..
Its FUGLY…
Wish it were all red longsleeve with a blue-white color scheme sash.
I forget where I saw it, but yesterday someone posted a picture of the jersey actually being available in a store.
the sleeves look unfinished and the collar looks like it’s from a basketball jersey in the 90s.
that’s definitely an official shot… and i dig it.
Ugh. No. Everything is fine for me except those sleeves (in relation to the rest of the kit). Amature looking. If the sleeves were blue like the rest or even red it’d be better. The white is killing me though. Will not be buying.
Can’t we just keep it simple and stick with the white on white, white and blue, and red?
I like it, we need to stop changing jerseys every 2 years though.. stick with one design and maybe make small adjustments like Brazil and England..
+1. It is so Heeere she is, Miss America. Other than the sash, it’s good.
looks like a practice shirt to me
Way too much going on there. The white sleeves, the “sash” and the tricolor collar don’t make sense all thrown together like that. Not a fan.
Crazy that both jerseys have been released. Yet both have already grown on me.
The supposed red and white home jersey reminds me of Where’s Waldo…
Speaking of Holland, Nike usually comes up with something good for them, and they didn’t disappoint again. Their away jersey is pretty outstanding.
please no more comments about how “the best teams” always have the same jersey, so the US needs to. Who the hell cares that Brasil never changes their jersey.
Maybe if the US win a world cup we can keep whatever jersey is worn during it.
needs to be something on the sleeves to give it less of the sweater vest look. I’d like a stripe running from shoulder down the arm or even just an american flag patch or something, anything. otherwise, I think it is just ok.
Rick Santorum approves of this design!
Like all USA kits I feel it’ll grow on me, but I would prefer if the sleeves were also dark blue.
Yep. I’d like to see a Yankees-level of consistencey when it comes to uniforms. Perhaps US soccer isn’t quite there yet, but that’s what the team should aim for.
Is that a jersey t-shirt?
Like, Like, Like a thousand times, LIKE
I don’t like it.
I really wish we could develop two different kits, that were consistent in design and color scheme and just run with it. Brazil, Argentina, Netherlands, Italy and Mexico all have consistent kit designs. Especially since our nation only seems to pay attention during World Cups, we should have a particular kit that Americans could identify with.
And agreed with most, we need to keep some style consistent – similar to have Brazil only use plain yellow top, England white top, etc. I don’t mind the sash at all, some historical value – but it’d be nice to keep it going than change it up. Hoops…mehhh.
Not bad, but not great….Digging the collar portion
I was hoping that it was this one: http://postimage.org/image/5ue7gl0cb/
Way better than the other leaks…
Unfortunately, with this view we can’t see the messenger bag that comes attached to each shirt!
Get rid of the sash it is so gross
Hopefully not….
Very bad, especially in comparison to the kits that Nike has been and will be rolling out for a lot of European teams, France for example
It screams late 90’s. The sweatervest look?
U-G-L-Y, you ain’t got no alibi. You ugly…
i do like the collar, but would it kill Nike to keep a little continuity for once. look at all the best teams in the world, they haven’t changed their style more than a few little tweaks in decades, why do we have to change every year? if we are looking to build a unified soccer culture in this country, it would be nice to actually have a little tradition and continuity
My guess is the sash is probably going to stick around for a while. It would certainly feed into Klinsmann’s goal of building an American soccer identity.
horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible
I prefer it over the home kit… Not a fan of the hoops
Will buy. Count me among those relieved that it wasn’t some of those other versions.
Much better than the previously leaked “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” edition with the nasty stars and other 4-letter worded descriptions
Prefer this one without the sash.
Looks good to me, and the home kit that I saw is nice as well. I like the hooped look.
Dig it. It’s the business casual of soccer jerseys.
I’m hoping it’s just a new training top or something, which would explain why its showing up in shops but never officially revealed as a new kit.
The collar reminds me of the Dutch World Cup Jersey…as much as people have complained about it I actually like it!
