Photographs of the USA’s home jersey for the 2010 World Cup have been leaked.
Designed and manufactured by Nike, the new design features a white shirt with a prominent diagonal line across the front of the shirt, which is a tribute to the 1950 US World Cup squad who famously defeated England 1-0 in one of the greatest shocks in world football.
The US World Cup uniform for the 2010 World Cup features accompanying white shorts and white socks. In the above photograph, you can see the design feature. To me, it’s simple but elegant.
The leaked photograph of the new home jersey adds considerable weight to the possibility that the two other shirts leaked on the Internet are also real. The designs are strikingly similar.
As mentioned before, here are the sneak-peeks of the away and third jerseys for the United States squad for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa:

Dreadful. Looks like a beauty pageant sash across the front.
loading...
Crystal Palace from the early 80s – still one of my fav kits!
loading...
Here she is…..Miss America !
loading...
I think this is a big step down from the current USA home. One of the best things about the current home kit is that it is a pretty unique design, but this is just USA colors on a Juve away kit. It’ll probably look better on the pitch, so lets hope for that
loading...
The current jersey is awesome, this one? Not so much.
loading...
At first I didn’t mind it. In fact I rather liked the white version. The colored versions just look silly. Although after reading the Miss America comment I can’t look at it and not thing beauty pageant. I prefer the current ones.
loading...
This has to be a god damn joke. These kits are hideous. They are so bad that I really may consider hoping they lose just because of this ugly kit.
loading...
Hoping our national team loses on a world-wide stage because of some ugly kits? That is a brilliant idea…..
loading...
u suck mother f***
loading...
It’s a nice strip compared to some of Nike’s previous horrible kits for the USMNT.
loading...
Like I said in the other thread…the US can wear tie dye for all I care, as long as they win.
loading...
it sucks! plain and simple
loading...
The home one looks alright. The away ones are quite disgusting. As Brazil’s shirt make is nike, will they have this style of shirt?
loading...
I agree. This one is simple, clean and sharp looking. The away and 3rd shirt look like a child’s color crayons when they couldn’t decide which color to color where.
loading...
It’s relatively austere. I can live with it. I learned years ago not to get to bent out of shape over this stuff.
loading...
Not bad, not good. However, any jersey they make will look better than the ‘94 WC shirt. I always wonder who makes the design decisions on these kits. They usually look not-so-good. It can’t be that difficult to make them look better.
loading...
Agreed. I still think whoever chose the faux-denim color with the stars should be treated like he scored an own goal playing for Columbia.
loading...
I’m surprised by the sash. I thought Nike would save that for the Brazil WC being that the ‘50 team had the famous red sash.
loading...
the white jersey is incredible, and i heard that this is a historic jersey from the 1950 upset over England. Lets hope the yanks can upset the world and bring the World Cup Home.
loading...
You guys are nuts, these look amazing!!! Way better than the bland crap we have now.
loading...
Ditto! I can’t wait to get me one. These are sharp designs.
loading...
I have to agree. I think they look pretty sharp compared to what he have now. The blue and red are much more retro and classy than the plain black of our current away kit. The new home is pretty similar in color scheme to our current design, plus the diagonal stripe is just classic soccer style! I would proudly wear any of them!
loading...
i personally the dark grey color, i dont mind these kits so much but its a little similar to what peru traditionally wears, but seeing them in person may be very different
loading...
I meant to say like the Dark Grey color
loading...
These kits are MONEY, they will look great on the field, without a doubt. They are classic, and… AMERICAN. Finally, some identity, perhaps this can be an iconic home kit that we can build on and carry through more than one cycle. The beauty pageant comments are lost on me. There are only so many ways to put a stripe on a jersey, and a diagonal stripe has history and relvance in soccer, think of Peru or River Plate. One twist, I’d be interested to see the whites with a cream color, like the SF Giants home jerseys maybe? All in all, very impressed and much better than the last three WC kits. Am I the only one that loved our Stars and Stripes kits from 94, awesome.
loading...
Your last sentence sealed it. Your opinion is not good.
loading...
lol, my thoughts exactly.
loading...
‘94 jerseys are so bad that they became an instant classic. i always wanted the blue jersey with the stars. and the beauty pageant excuse is lame to me. i don’t see it that way at all
loading...
yeah they were awesome, too bad adiddas doesnt make induvidual kits liek that anymore
loading...
I’m with the people who like this one, especially given that it is a nod towards the *mostly* unknown history of the national team.
loading...
I don’t hate the white one, but I must agree that the current white jerseys are much better, and quite classy in their understatedness (if that’s a word). I actually didn’t care for them until I saw one in person and realized that the stripes alternated with the light grey. Super classy, and hard to beat.
I don’t hate the white one, the red one isn’t terrible. The blue one is a joke.
loading...
Yuck. The current version of the kit is really nice, the diagonal stripe is ugly.
This will make two World Cups now that we’ve had ugly kits. Good news though is I’ll be able to buy the current version of the US jerseys for cheap.
I did not buy the 2006 WC jersey and will not buy the 2010 one either.

Disappointed once again. Why is it that Nike comes out with a decent jersey, it’s when we’re going thru qualifying (I like both kits that we have now). Once tourny time comes, the wizards of design at Nike completely crap the bed and throw something out with no imagination. To be fair, the white jersey with the “stripe” doesn’t look too bad. The other two jerseys are just awful. What ever happened to having a jersey with a little flair to it (i.e. Germany in ‘94)?
Sadly, I’m kind of seeing the same thing from adidas with their kits for Germany (loved their former jersey from Euro ‘08), Greece, etc. About the only jersey that somewhat impresses me is France’s…and I’m throwing up in my mouth as I type that.
loading...
How do yo make mocks ?? Please Inform
PS: I’m a huge US fan , and I really like the current ones , and I love the current away ones because they’re simple and clean , but these make me barf brah .
loading...
Here she is… the usmnt
So will there be an evening gown competition as well? Will Donovan or Dempsey be interviewed on what they would do if they were president? How they can ensure world peace and end world hunger? Or say that gay marriage should be illegal?
Very fitting for such a shit team. The usa shouldn’t be allowed to play football. you all are an embarrassment to the world. And now have the kits to go with it. Perfect.
All usmnt fans are wimpy little losers.
loading...
Must be an England fan. Get ready for another disappointment. The sun has set on the british empire.
loading...
One day we will have a real open league, with fully independent clubs, and promotion/relegation. We will have superclubs that can compete with the best in the world. Then it’s lights out for old jersey. Until that time, comments like this will stick.
I can’t wait for Sounders v Chelsea in the FIFA World Club Cup Final – after we ditch the closed exhibition league whose clubs are entitled to permanent first div status.
loading...
I like the home. Its subtle. I’ll probably buy one. I’m not a big fan of the other 2.

This jersey looks really nice and simple, A nice simple jersey is good, becuse who wants a jersey with so much crap all over the place, simple is just nice to look at on the field, look at englands jersey, its just perfect for the world cup, and so is this one for the USA. For the away ill choose the red one, looks stronger, the blue one looks weak, unless the blue was more darker, it would look cool. Now lets just get ready for the best world cup of our lifetime! South Africa 2010, new surprises, new champion…
loading...
I’m glad they could re-hash the old Galaxy kits is U.S. colors.
loading...
the thing i dont understand is dempsey in that picture rocking the number 10?
if dempsey has already done a photoshoot in the jersey, doesnt that make it a little more likely to be the legit kit?
and why would he be wearing the 10?
loading...
I like the white one, not as much as the current design, but its nice.. the other two are weak but theres no real proof that the other two are actually going to be the final design..
loading...
WE DON’T PLAY WELL ENOUGH TO WEAR A SASSSSHHEE’ OR WHATEVER THAT IS. RETRO? LET’S MOVE FORWARD! HOW ABOUT A YANK COACH TO GET US THERE ( UNDERSTANDING OUR LADS AND ALL ) THEN A WORLD CLASS MANAGER TO WIN IT FOR US ( SIR ALEX FERGUESON ) MAKE THE YANK AN ASSISTANT, BUT LET THE NEW MANAGER BRING US HOME THE CUP! BELIEVE IT OR NOT–WE HAVE THE PLAYERS, WE NOW NEED THE VISION AND EXPERIENCE!!! THE JERSEY,,,,WHO GIVES A @#$%, JUST WIN THE CUP!! WEAR T-SHIRTS WITH DUCT TAPE NUMBERS-I DON’T CARE…JUST WIN IT!!!
loading...
Yeah because Agentina (prison inmate look) and Cameroon’s (cocktail dress) kits are much better. A tribute kit is perfect for this 2010 run in any of the colors shown up there.
See you in Cape Town….
PS – Footbal Tactician – talk is cheap bitch, you probably thought Thierry’s handball was perfectly legal.
loading...
Piece of shit.
loading...
As a woman, 2 things….
That stripe is going to make my tits look big.
Are these going to be super form fitting like the new Adidas and Puma kits?
loading...
Oddly enough the new kits are fitting seeing as we were drawn to open the World Cup against of all teams England. Seems like Nike saw something coming or were really just lucky at guessing.
loading...
Shocking, disappointing, and ugly!
loading...
Hi,
I’d like to buy my bf a US World Cup jersey for Christmas. When will these be available for sale, and where? (Please no hate, I honestly don’t know and figured this is the place to ask) Thanks for your help.
loading...
Hi Heather, excellent question. Unfortunately though, no official release date has been named for the new jerseys. But when they are officially available, you’ll be able to order from our sister site World Cup Buzz at http://www.worldcupbuzz.com/world-cup-shirts
Cheers,
The Gaffer
loading...
Thanks for the reply
I’ll keep checking there!
loading...
Hi Heather, I just found out that the US and Italy soccer jerseys won’t be officially released until the spring of 2010, but as soon as they’re available for pre-order, we’ll have them available on that site.
Cheers,
The Gaffer
loading...
for that matter do you have an idea when all the nike Cup jerseys go on sale, and the adidas away kits come out by any chance???
loading...
the US Soccer website already has the away jerseys for sale, but not the home ones yet… you can also customize them with names and numbers, both official and replica… just beware the sizes, they run small, as in European sizes…other websites, like prosoccer.com and others may also have them
loading...
I think the white ones are very classy. The Blue and the Red jersey I hope is just a fan mock-up, because they both look ridiculous. Maybe if the blue and red one went with the subtle stripe, like the white one it would look better. A red jersey with a darker red stripe or for the blue jersey, navy blue with a lighter shade stripe. Either way I hope the away kit is red. Back before the 06 WC when the MNT wore the “Don’t tread on me” red jerseys was awesome
loading...
Matthew N your a waste
loading...
All 3 look awesome, pretty unique, not overstated, yet traditional. Anyone one when they will be available for purchase?
loading...
Ross, they’ll be available in the spring of 2010. I know, it seems like an eternity from now.
Cheers,
The Gaffer
loading...
Bring back the 3-stripes!!!!! Nike sucks big time!!!! They look like AYSO kits. Oh yeah, JOE E. that works for Nike is an A**HOLE!!! You know who you are Joe. Fire him Nike!!!!
loading...
Seems like everyone’s a big fan of the ol Don’t Tread on Me kits. They were pretty sweet.
loading...
It’s about time we got a red shirt…
loading...
Crap.
loading...
Nike makes horrible jerseys…they need to switch to adidas, Go USA
loading...
There must be some sort of truth to this being the 2010 jersey. The Castrol World Cup site (http://www.castrolfootball.com/predictor/rivalpredictor/?teama=201&teamb=4) is showing this jersey for the US.
loading...
I think Nike Would be making a HUGE mistake putting these kits out. They are too simple. If you are going to have a sash down the front of the white kit, why not make it red or blue? I think they should scrap the whole idea and start over.
loading...
I love these kits, they have flare
loading...
Please no.Please no.Please no.
loading...
I hate the all-white home kit, but the road jersey is a definite improvement over the lame black one.
loading...
Terrible. Now not sure what to get.
Stick to the 2006 version and make it indefinite. Thats my vote.
loading...
Honestly, guys I think there’s a pretty good chance that the Away and 3rd jerseys are just photoshopped by someone. The badges on both of these look shopped to me. Also, when is the last time our Aways had the same pattern as the Home? If they are accurate it will be a shame because those 2nd and 3rd jerseys look like crap!
loading...
Bring back the ‘09 kit – classic and better looking than this shit. You hear me, NIKE? BRING BACK THE ANTHRACITE BLACK!!!!
loading...
Looks terrible. Who designed this? Miss America.
loading...
Can we get the 2002 world cup ones instead? They were fancy, fun, not this ugly and most importantly brought us a great result.
loading...
Its a Nice Jersey I wish the white top have a colored slashed
loading...
I like the idea of paying tribute to the 1950 team, but I don’t know if I like this design. And I really don’t like the 3rd jersey, looks like a Trinidad and Tobago jersey.
loading...
Great. THese suck. Stick to the 2009 ones. They had class, were simple, and we beat #1 Spain in them!
loading...
Interestingly reminiscent of the 1950 jersey in which we defeated England.
Unfortunately, any jersey with that 80s corporate fast food logo will never pass mustard.
loading...
I like all 3 kits, I don’t see anything wrong with them. True, the USA’s current home kit is nice, nicer than the new one, but it’s not under simple or too complicated. If you want a crap kit, look at England’s new home jersey, which I am ashamed to be a fan of a country that will be wearing them at the World Cup. Besides, isn’t it ironic that the home shirt has been inspired by the kit the USA wore when they beat England, and after the unveiling of it, you draw us in World Cup Group C?
loading...
It is time that the USA has a good looking soccer jersey. This one definitely doesn’t cut it. I hope it looks better than these leaked sketches…
loading...
Are they going to earn patches for their Girl Scout sashes? Seriously? The third kit would be perfect…for T&T. These look amateurish.
loading...
I like the white
I just talked to a guy at Nike and the white Internet preorderstarts early February and the jersey officially comes out the first week of march. This is legit info but maybe not news to you. He hinted that the away and alternate are actually of different design so who knows on that one. I like the white and I’ll be getting my west ham boy’s USA kit asap.
loading...
LOVE IT! Been calling for a 50’s throwback sash for years! Too bad it isn’t red…
loading...
At least the away jersey isn’t BLACK(!?)… whoever made that decision is f’n retarded.
loading...
Hopefully this is a scam, and not actually the final jersey that is to be worn in South Africa. Although I don’t believe a jersey should be the main focus of any team entering the world cup, I would much rather see the men wearing a different design if I had a choice. But all that really matters is that the USMNT has a successful trip to South Africa, and for us to gain greater respect and fans worldwide.
loading...
so you think it looks like a beauty pageant everyone? well seems to me you are looking at this as if it is a beauty contest…..who cares what you think on how it looks…..its a historical throwback to one of the greatest upsets is american sports history … and if you are true US Soccer Fans than you would love the historical reference , because in case you didnt notice we are in a group with england and are in line to once again upset the throne !
loading...
the lasers are amazing. these ones suck
loading...
they are very rugby esc
loading...
check these jerseys out. they are sick. USMNT

loading...
when is Nike supposed to unveil their jersey?
loading...
Best US jersey’s ever. I love them. Bring on the Brits! I just hope the shorts for the away kit are red and the shorts for the third kit are blue. The only thing that comes close is the DON’T TREAD ON ME kit, which they only wore once and which was a similar scheme. That, and of course the Gaetjens jersey… again, a similar scheme. VERY GOOD SIGNS all around.
loading...
really? wow! this is shameful…are they going to wear rose crowns on their heads too? c’mon…if this is a joke, it’s probably the funniest one i’ve seen. gosh I needed a good laugh. ok where do find the real 2010 world cup kits? seriously? it’s not funny any more. this is just straight out hideous!
loading...
I like the white ones a lot. However Fulvio those 2014 crimson ones look amazing. Though I find it hard to believe they’ve already got those made and they haven’t even released these ones yet. I will be pre-ordering a white Jozy Altidore jersey unless the other two styles step their game up.
loading...
I think that those jerseys Fulvio shared aren’t real. in the caption on flickr it says that they were designed by a graphic designer from Philadelphia University, and probably won’t ever exist.
I agree completely with you that the red one he made up looks fantastic!
loading...
I like the concept of the 50s jersey, especially with facing England in WC2010…but Nike missed the mark…home jersey is OK, not great…the away and 3rd sucks. Nike should have stayed much closer to the original 50s jersey as possible…white jersey with red diagonal line, and drop the colored line on the sleeves…and red jersey would be much better with white diagonal line rather than blue.
loading...
I like the home jersey, and the blue and white one looks alright but I freaking hate the red one, it looks like kaka took a kaka on it. in case you didnt get that in brazil kaka really means sh**. so im calling kaka a peice of sh** because thats his last name, and he plays for brazil so that automatically means that i hate his f*** guts.
loading...
At first I didn’t like these. But what’s cool about these is they are replica’s of the jersey’s we wore when we beat england in 1950 (Might I add – This was leaked before the world cup drawings). Let’s bring one home to the U.S!
loading...
They should have made the stripe on the away and 3rd jersey subliminal as well. The home jersey is a stylish tribute to the 1950 team’s spectacular achievement. The others are a bit much. Yes, we want to beat England again, but we also want to get to the second round this time, too. Subliminal design would be a nice way of showing both.
loading...
Home jersey Blue is too royal(like the French), should be navy as in our flag.
loading...
is there any new news about when these jerseys will be available?
loading...
Alex, the spring of 2010. No specific date has been announced yet.
Cheers,
The Gaffer
loading...
new USA
loading...
The diagonal stripe has been on soccer jerseys since before Miss America started wearing it. I especially like the blue jersey. Can’t wait to buy one.
loading...
No me gusta para nada. The colors arn’t even right. The blue should be darker and the stripe looks rediculous. Looks like the kit should be worn by England rather than the US.
loading...
ugly shirt. The white one is alright, kinda. I guess. But could be better. the other TWO, HORRIBLE
loading...
IF IF IF these are real, I like the white jersey, but am not such a big fan of the red or blue. The blue one would be better with a white collar accent and no red accents. The red one would be better with a while sash and no blue accents on the sleeves.
My strong suspicion though is that these are TOTAL fakes.
loading...
the home shirt is terrible, the other two are nice
loading...
All i know 2002 world cup jesey= best usa jersey ever!!!!!!!! both home and away so i guess best jersey’s ever!!!!! went to soccertown yesterday, saw some 2002 jerseys, felt so nice and it was extremely light, awww memories!!!!!!! and now memories haunt me, damn u frings!!!!!!!!! cheater!!!!!!
loading...
The strip is too thick. The white jersey looks nice but the other look like crayons. Plus diagonal stripes are for dictators to wear, not Americans. Go back to the two vertical stripes we had in previous kits or at least make these stripes thinner.
loading...
Why is the trend away from collars? Would really like to alway see at least one of the 3 jerseys have a collar
loading...
Yeah….Miss America meets Cpt Kirk. This is horrid. Hopefully this is a joke.
loading...
These jerseys are not very apealing. The jerseys they have been wearing are very nice and chic. I hope there are either changes or miraculously they look good on the field
loading...
The white is real- the red and blue were mockup’s done by someone on Big Soccer who had the leaked photo of the white. This was his guess of what the away’s would be based on what he was told. The colors should be better, the scheme might be a little different.
loading...
Does anyone know when these are going to be available to buy????
loading...
Spring 2010.
Cheers,
The Gaffer
loading...
Replace the lame crest.
It’s wrong. USA not US.
I saw an interesting crest with a
“don’t tread on me” theme, which was great.
The current stars, makes it look like we
won three world cups.
loading...
Lets hope they have 3xl so I can wear on of these pieces of poo.
loading...
they look like the clipper uniforms…nobody likes the clippers!!!
loading...
People, its a freakn tribute to the 1950s World Cup Team, that some how beat England 1-0. Give it a freakn rest it only matters how they play and how our defense shuts down Wayne Rooney.
loading...
This looks horrendous. I’ve been waiting to see this for 3 months so I could buy a new jersey to support the USMNT. I can’t believe Nike can’t come up with something timeless and intimidating. It makes our players look like Mayor McCheese.
loading...
I hope this is just a mistake. I think Nike could come up with something way cooler. The tribute to the miracle on grass team of the 50’s is cool but they could have done it better…
loading...
When do they come out??
loading...
horrible. the last ones that came out are so much better. but are not longer available in any size above small. ridiculous. Hope they do good during the world cup though.
loading...
We will see the new kits vs Netherlands on Mar 3
loading...
I agree with the post about the crest. The crest needs to change!!!! When compared to other nations’ crests, the US Crest looks like it was designed by a child.
The uniforms are dreadful. Only the 94 cup away jerseys are worse.
loading...
We need to show up in the carbon fiber gray like F-117s over Bagdad!!! I don’t remember seeing any diagonal stripe in the U.S. flag… I thought we jumped ship from Great Britain uhhhh a little over 250 years ago.
loading...
these crackers have no sense of tradition and nostalgia. That throwback jersey is when the US had they’re best showing. The kit is brilliant, the “Stars and Stripes” will look good in it. Good Luck Lads! We love you! Make us proud!
Anthony in Boca Raton!
loading...
The jersey is ok I just can’t stand our logo. I wish our logo had the bald eagle on it.
loading...
BRING BACK THE STARS AND STRIPES FROM U.S. 1994
loading...
the release date is set for march 3rd in a friendly against the netherlands
loading...
those kits are a disgrace. someone should take a sh*t on the US soccer official who approved that garbage. they would look better wearing the filthy nightshirt from some arab lowlife.
loading...
SOMEONE NEEDS TO DROP THE NIKE CONTRACT, THE EMBLE ON THE USA TEAM SUCKS ALREADY PUT AN AMERICAN EAGLE FOR INSTANT, THE JERSEY WHY COULD IT NOT BE SOMETHING LIKE MEXICO’S JERSEY ADDIAS DID A GOOD DESIGN.
loading...
OK, there seems to be consensus that this uniform looks like a left-over from the 1970 Little Ms. Sunshine Pageant – sportswear round. I am in South Africa and should the new jersey to my colleagues. Guess what? It looks like the ‘uniform’ that a local church wears. Oh what until that hits the press. Here are some pics…
http://theiiap.blogspot.com/2009/03/prophet-christinah-nku-part-2.html
Personally, I would have favored something outrageous like a pattern based on Captain America’s uniform. Something memorable that folks would snatch off the shelves. But of course, I’m a philistine.
loading...
These shirts look like shit, no style, no tradition, no three lions (lol) and what are you doing wearing white? we wear white. You can have some shite blue and red one with stars all over it and a big burger on the gut.
Come on England
loading...
The kit looks great, and I love the idea that the are supposed to resemble the 1950 squad who thumped England. Nice work
loading...
Yeah they are a throw back… but that doesn’t mean they don’t look terrible. Nike could have thought of something more modern and pleasing to the eye while incorporating the traditional. These just do look like a beauty pageant gone wrong. I’ve been waiting too to get a new jersey but looks like I’m waiting till 2012 or so. And in the end when the team play’s I’ll support them, just not financially but purchasing something so hideous.
loading...
first this is 2010 not 1950, i dig a little retro but lets be creative its the WORLD CUP not friendlies i like the current style better the have an look of class to them not like a last minute decision to convert a current universal kit to a cup jersey. we should look different than any other team on the pitch not the same just different colors. i have never really liked the nike representation for our jersey
loading...
Love them! All three are nice. You guys are a tough crowd, and crude. Not that many national teams use the slash. Why not go with the 1950 heritage? What’s with the beauty pageant allusions? Must be young fans? The “slash” has been a soccer shirt design element for generations. The slash will stand out well on the field and give instant recognition to the team and country. The current uniform is nice, too, but this is a step up, drawing on the past and making the shirt stand out. The white strip is still subtle for those that like the current white shirt. Three Lions needs to show some respect. England has a proud tradition, and I support them-just not on 12 June 2010. The USA has a long tradition of soccer, too. Yeah, the US beat England in 1950. Why not again in 2010? England has no claim on wearing white any more than the rest of the world.
loading...
WTF. R we this gay. I think the new Celtic fc bumblebee kits r better
loading...
Im with you Reinez. I like them a lot. Simple, classy and throwback to 1950. I actually thought about getting a 1950 jersey. Now I’ll probably be getting one of these as soon as they come out.
and what’s up with all the haters? who cares if y’all don’t like them? they wouldn’t be wearing them if the players didn’t like them and i’m pretty sure that’s all that matters.
loading...
not bad once you add the number to the front and name on the back.
loading...
Were going to do better than people expect…inch’allah.
The shirt shouldnt make a difference. The game is bigger than our petty little criticism of the design. Its a throwback, so what.
The sache have been used by many countries : )…why should’nt we share the heavy burden. The Peruvians love the “Slache” and the Trinidadians look dashin in theirs. Nevertheless, The US will be fine, with a little luck they beat or tie England to make it out of the group.
May our boys find strengh in him..praise allah.
loading...
Love the white/white/white. Goes back a hundred years for the US national team. Thank you Nike!
Now about that US Soccer badge… maybe I’ll just sew the old Federation logo over it.
loading...
Finally! The first red shirt since 1998! Red!
loading...
May the ghost of Joe Gaetjens inspire our modern Haitian hero in this kit to victory in SA.
I am a retro guy and love it.
loading...
According to Footballfashion.org, the new jerseys are to be unveiled tonight against El Salvador…we’ll see. Someone above had said the unveiling would be the Netherlands match. I wonder if these are exactly what we’ll see, or a “prototype” that got leaked.
loading...
Couldn’t disagree more!!! The new kit is top notch and will look fantastic on the pitch as team USA surprise the world (in a good way)!!!!
loading...
anyone notice the blue shirt looks a lot like the continental army uniform?
maybe england will wear their red kit so the sides can resemble the look of the revolutionary war.
loading...
Well I think think it’s unofficially official. If you go to the eurosport magazine website (www.soccer.com) in the background they have the blue jersey but no actual item in their store. Check it out, it looks a little better than the fan mock-up above!

Also soccer.com says USA, Holland, Portugal and Brazil Kits will be revealed tomorrow!
loading...
well they are brutal shirts and it just doesn’t make dempsey look so great, but as long as they play well then i guess its the best thing to dislike
loading...
Why is Nike making the worst jerseys in sports. They finally struck gold with the last home white jersey, and they go and throw this crap together. Did anyone see the new France away jersey? That is what the USA jersey should look like, I wish the US used adidas or Umbro. England’s white and red a sick. I wonder if they’ll think about wearing blue

PhiChitown,
Though I disagree with you about how “ugly” the new kits are, I do agree that Adidas or Umbro would make better kits. I’d prefer Umbro. I still just can’t forgive Adidas for those 94′ jerseys…
loading...
The home kit looks good, and if you look at the old photos of the 1950 jersey, it’s basically the same design. That’s probably why they went for it. The away jersey needs a change in coloring because the bright pastel type look is terrible.
loading...
Horrible. We have GREAT looking kit now – why the change? It’s obvious that USSoccer and Nike are just out to make a buck. By changing kit so often, there’s little cohesion amongst fans that show up for a game. USA uniforms should be considered different than league uniforms in that they shouldn’t change every “season”.
Evoking memory of the 1950 jersey’s fine and well, but these are a step back in more than one way.
loading...
Does the Women’s national Team have better looking uniforms? Or is it just me who thinks that?
loading...
The new jersey looks like the jersey from 1950 when the USA beat England. So it a flash to back retro jersey. so everyone should relax
loading...
TRASH Hire someone who knows what they are doing These jerseys look like ass! Fire nike and get addidas or someone who can design a decent uni!
loading...
The dark kit is terrible… the home kit is okay at best…The current uniforms are awesome!
loading...
The jerseys are sick. The white one looks good and the blue one is different. We have definitely had worse World Cup jerseys (late 80’s and early 90’s). Does anybody else think our red jersey looks like spain’s jersey?
loading...
Those are hideous. Too bad since the last jerseys they had were probably the best they’ve ever had. A sash? Seriously? Why?
loading...
This jersey sucks so much I am desperate to find the 08/09 version.
loading...
Ugh. A jersey ugly enough to match our hideous, cartoony badge. A complete redesign is necessary. Our badge reminds of a retro Houston Astros logo. Eeesh
loading...
Your badge looks like shit. As do these shirts.Why don’t you have a bald eagle on it or something. This badge looks like something a cartoon superhero would have.
Also, why are you wearing white kits? We wear white, you should dress up like Captain America or something and give the rest of the world something other than your football to laugh at.
loading...
And what badge will you be going with? Maybe a logo of John Terry fuckin’ a catcher’s mitt? Stiff-upper lip, my ass……classless captain. I like Rooney though.
loading...
this jersey’s remond me of the USA jersey’s wore in the 1950 world cup and when they beat ENGLAND 1-0. yes the logo needs a change. it should show the symbol of the U.S.A. the eagle is over rated. the rattlesnake would be better, because it has more meaning.
loading...
yeah, the logo is weak. The uniform might not be what you want it to look like but if you’re going to match up against the usa, you better bring your best side in any uniform (kit) bring it, lets see what you got…remember, you’re going to have to score to win and beat the Americans. wouldn’t it be embarrasing to lose the the Amerikans?..lol, you better not lose, because you’ll be discussing more that the uniforms.
loading...
will the first game for the USA against England be like the 1950 world cup win?
loading...
Awesome – I’m gettin one!
loading...
I’m still disappointed about how lame these kits are. I really hope some of this feedback makes it’s way back to Nike. Whether these are throwback jerseys or not, they’re just plain ugly.
loading...
wow, i see how traumatized you are…we’ll i hope for your sake that they change the kits so you don’t have to go through all this unnecessary trauma. I’ll say a prayer for you. are you going to be ok? really, i can get you some zanex for your nerves.
loading...
To all you naysayers out there, do a little research. There is alot of history behind this kit. US v ENG June 12th and its parallels with US v ENG 1950.

Who ever said these look good obviously had something to do with the design or is married to someone who had something to do with the design. A little over the top on how “awesome” you think they are.
@ charles “Here she is, Miss America”. Definitely said what everyone is thinking.
Why can’t we get excited about the same Jersey when it comes out every four years?
loading...
These arent right, the blue is much darker on the real one and the trim is different. The real ones look much better.
loading...
I would like to know what number Clint Dempsey will wear this summer. I’m trying to order one of these…. jerseys.. yuck.
loading...
They’re pretty cool, actually, although they do kind of make them look like bike messengers.
I also like how Nike didn’t do a “one design fits all” theme for all the teams they outfit like they have done in past World Cups.
loading...
I kinda dig the away (blue) jersey but man are the home (white) jerseys are ugly. The US hasn’t had a good looking home jersey since the 2002 World Cup. The red ones arent too shabby.
loading...
The jersey’s a joke, right? If not, probably the most hideous design imaginable. At least keep it symmetrical for god’s sake….wow!
loading...
This is seriously what Nike designs? Who else has input into these?
We should stage a massive boycott of Nike products (or at the very least make a ruckus on facebook to scare their marketing team) unless they redesign the kits.
loading...
So is the third shirt for the Goalie only? When are these getting released to gen public?
loading...
It would look better with a navy stripe bordered by thin red stripes. I hate the all white combo with the shorts and socks, go with navy shorts.
loading...
what are the made out of cotton or polyester
loading...
I hate the fact that Nicke/US Soccer keeps switching up the colors. We need to have one dominate color (Red) and make sure all the fans are wearing the same color just like the fans of Brazil, Mexico, Italy, etc.
I hate it that USA fans show up in three different colors. It takes away the effect in the stadium.
loading...
this is the best country in the world. who is in charge designing this ugly jersy doesn’t any body care in the american futball or soccer federation that they settle with this ugly design we can do better.
loading...
You guys are missing the point. The sash is used to remember the team that got USA the right to even PLAY with the rest of the world. It’s not the first time a team has done a mild “throwback” to remember another legacy. Manchester has Chevrons on their kits this year for the same reason. Don’t worry about how they kits look, worry about how the team looks on the pitch, we have a tough first game on the 12th against England. I doubt the kit is going to make a difference.
