Just when you thought it was a bit strange to see the Mexico Men’s national Team wearing the all-black jerseys they sported last year, get ready for an even more strange sight.
‘El Tri’ in all (well, mostly) red.
adidas unveiled Mexico’s away jersey for the World Cup and it’s a red shirt with some black lines. Red has always been part of Mexico’s uniform, but not in recent memory had Mexico donned so much red, which could take some getting used to for U.S. fans who have adopted red as the U.S. Men’s National team fan base’s unofficial color of choice.
It is unclear just when the new red Mexico jersey will be unveiled, but it could be on display on April 2, when Mexico faces the United States in Phoenix.
What do you think of the new uniform? Like it? Think Mexico should avoid wearing so much red? Praying adidas doesn’t come up with a green USA jersey next?

Look it’s okay but not all that . 1 through 10
I give it a 8 . The green one is a 8.5 , both are good but not great. Lol HARLEMSTANDUP C.A. #1
Not really as ugly as everyone’s saying. The zig zag is kinda odd, kinda wish they kept with those cool thunderbolts. but paired with black shorts those kits could look pretty badass
fairly ugly
I would love the USA to wear the Atlético Madrid kits and just change the badge!
I’m not loving the zigzag pattern, but that color red is pretty fresh with the black accents. Even the ugly Adidas kits are better than most of the Nike kits. Mexico has a way better crest, too. We need a crest redesign, and not the boring centennial crest. Something with the bald eagle symbol, maybe.
I wish we would change our uniform supplier. We only use Nike because they have the lowest overhead (sweat shops) and so give us the best deal. This is America, after all. Proud tradition of inequitable profit from forced and poorly compensated labor.
I’m just happy the Where’s Waldo, basketball practice, and sash kits are over. I think the last one I liked was the 2006 home kit, wihite with the red/blue stripe behind the badge. That was a clean look.
So…when is Nike going to release the US jersey? There was that one all white jersey a while back. Hope they have something a bit more interesting in store.
I read it will be a reverse of the home in red with red shorts and some extra accents in white and blue, and the red will be the same as England’s red.
It’s official mexico are the power rangers
I like it. A tribute to the country that got them to the world cup. De nada Mexico.
Absolutely!! Great one. +1000
They set the bar really low for Nike

Are you telling us so we can plan a ritual burning?
are the zigzags supposed to represent their performances?
Or that they crack under pressure
What’s up with all these countries having non traditional away uniform colors.
Mexico – Red and black
Spain – Black and Lime Green
Germany – Black and Red
Russia – White with a blue looking mountain top in the middle
And these are just from the last two days.
The idea for the Russian jersey is sick, actually. It is supposed to be the view that the first Russian astronaut had of Earth when he/she went into space.
That is really cool.

Laika was a girl!
The US kit is from Nike. So Adidas wouldn’t be able to make a green US shirt anyway.
I remember someone noted it looked like a Power Rangers uniform when the green one came out. Now in red, that will be further engrained in my mind.
So did someone forget to pay the electric bill at Adidas HQ? Or is the color that awful that Adidas decided to unveil the jerseys in the dark?
the ones so far released are the change strips, which are almost always darker in color
That’s just butt ugly.
Subtle Charlie Brown influence?
I was gonna say the same thing. Big Charlie Brown here but he’s not someone you want your sports team to emulate. Although El Tri has done a great job of emulating him these last 12 months or so…
Big Charlie Brown *fan*
Definite Charlie Brown action and all I can say is I hope the Mexican forwards have as much success kicking the ball as old Chuck.
eeevil charlie brown
/supertroopers
I was thinking the same thing.
Stupid
Carlos MarrĂ³n…maybe the ref will pull the ball away last second when Chicharito lines up for a PK.
Looks like something Dracula would wear. Not a fan of the zig zag on the chest. Honestly, this jersey is quite hideous.
They know Luis Suarez is from Uruguay right?
The streets shall run red with the blood of the unbelievers. And there are plenty of us.
That doesn’t even seem to be the right red from their flag, seems way to dark although it could be the picture. Bit odd really, not a big fan
Fugly…..
Word is Carlos Vela got an advanced look at the jersey.
