Eww. My favorites kits so far are the centennial and red with blue diagonal line.

How...how did this pass the smell test? Did they not do any market research or focus group testing? From everything I've seen and heard, support for this kit among fans is in the single digit percentile, so I'd like to know how they came to the decision that our guys and gals absolutely should be wearing this travesty. Is Nike running the show and it's a "you get what we give you" situation? If that's the case, I'd have to think that Nike actually would do the necessary market testing to make sure that they're not universally panned and/or would actually sell to supporters.
Shameful...let the fans decide from now on, it doesn't seem as though anyone in the US Soccer hierarchy has any fashion sense...
Nike Corp is lazy. I will not be buying this jersey.
Time for USSF to grow a pair and ditch Nike.

How does JK rock all this badass gear. Shoes and polos and we get this shit. Unbelievable.

The white ones aren't my favorite by any means but I think they're acceptable. The black ones are hideous. I'll probably buy a white jersey from China for the Copa America.

The whites have grown on me, so I'll probably cop that one. Nike Corp is not lazy but they are at a crossroads. Their competitors, namely Adidas and Under Armour have really stepped it up in terms of competing for the most creative minds out there.
Nike has done much for US Soccer, but nothing is forever...

Anyone notice the resemblance between the US Home Kits and the ones for England? Looks like Nike is struggling to be innovative/creative:
Our 2002 jerseys were a Nike cookie cutter design as were our 2004 jerseys (and that's just off the top of my head). Sadly Nike has a long history of not being creative and rolling out roughly the same jerseys to multiple countries.

Add Puma to the list along with Adidas and Under Armour. I really like these Swiss jerseys.

They're not yet available on Gogoalshop but that's where I'll get one once they're in stock. I've bought from them a few times in the past at the recommendation of a user on here (can't recall who at the moment) and I've been satisfied with the quality. Just buy one size bigger than you usually wear, Gogoalshop runs abnormally small.

The black away jersey is growing on me. I'll probably buy that one. The whit one is meh and way to similar to England's.

This. How can you just use a template and make the same kit for so many different countries? It's disappointing.

Everything looks a little better with it on, but the blacks are awful.
Howard's goalkeeper shirt is actually excellent though. Should have been the primary home uniform.
