2016 Mls Jersey Thread

Since the Azzurri have been sporting blue.

ha, the azzurri are an exception . . . yes, the Italian flag is green, white and red, BUT the blue comes from coat of arms of the Italian royal family (House of Savoy) and hence the national color of Italy . . .

I'd have to google myself. But I read somewhere that the classic crest was also used by the us military since around WWI or WWII (and there are many photos showing it) and can't be copywriten in that form. So if they were to put it on all the jerseys it would show up on hats and shirts everywhere without ussoccer earning a dime.

EDIT: Did a little googling and it's because it's been around since before 1923. Micro changes would help, but nothing to stop bootlegger from just using the original and no one really caring it's slightly different.

I call it the Captain America.

I know a lot of people didn't love it, but I wish they continued the red and white horizontal stripes as the primary kit for the US, and just use that. Other major teams use plain white (England- white/red, Germany- white/black), and I know others like paraguay had red & white stripes, albeit vertically. The stripes represented the flag, which the USNT could've taken and ran with. Instead, we have a kit that changes designs every year or two based off of Nike's new cleats or boredom.

Such on obviously option to use as an iconic jersey. Wasted. That should be primary, and the secondary can change every year or every two years.

fantastic video, but the great Bob Ross would never end up with a painting as horrific as that jersey

Hey! It's your happy little world and you can paint the jersey whatever color you want!

USA Copa America Secondary Shirt

Not sure why black has become part of the USA mens and womens identity.

I like the new crest though.

Must have been a tactical decision. When you're playing soccer in the hot sun in the summer time black is the logical choice.

I pray that this black US jersey is a training one...

Is the U.S. Soccer crest about to change again?

Colorado moving away from burgandy and blue?

Good.

Both Colorado's unis are understated and classy. I like them, and Timmy will look great wearing their keeper jersey.
