New Jersey for the Men’s National Team

March 21st, 2007 | By: Connor Fabiano | 13 Comments »

US Soccer and Nike have released the new 2007 US MNT Third Jersey today. It’s strikingly blue with white stripes. Of course you’ll also find the traditional Nike logo and US Soccer crest.

I don’t like it. I wouldn’t call it extremely ugly, but I don’t think it’s as attractive as the first and second jerseys. Furthermore, it reminds me of an American football/basketball referee uniform (I’ve never been a fan of pin-stripes). I prefer the plain blue training jersey of the same color. If I was Sunil Gulati (or whoever makes the call - by the way never let an economics professor make fashion advice) I would just tell the men to keep their training jerseys on as they take the pitch.

Anyway, the Men’s National Team will wear their new uniform for both of their upcoming March friendlies - the first of which is this Sunday in Florida against Ecuador.

I’m interested to hear your opinions on the jersey.

Stay tuned (or just don’t delete me from your RSS reader) for an update on the March training camp later today.

I’m having a hard time getting excited about it. Now the France NT jersey? THAT’s a jersey that makes my heart go pitter-pat.

That’s horrible and people from the ecuadorian blog were talking about switching to different brands.

I am so indifferent towards it that it hurts.

I agree; the red TJ from last summer was leagues better than this one. Reminds *me* too much of the Yankees.

I agree with you. It reminds me of a baseball jersey.

The only thing I like about it is that neat glowing halo-effect thingy around the shirt.

Other than the silver aura that the shirt gives off, I don’t really like it.

The USA jersey looks like a prison shirt. The only cool thing
is the logo which is fitting for USA cause the logo looks belligerant.
And that is what USA is a belligerant nation.
