i think it's pretty obviously a jokey thing aimed at england, altho the contrast to the us kit idea is also true

it's a beautiful kit when mocked up like that, irl it could be completley different

do like it a lot though

(except for the cheap disgusting crest)

Our crest is terrible, I've been saying this for awhile. It's annoying that we still use it when this exists: http://www.neverends.com/images/ussf_logo.gif

One billion times zero (the current shield's rating out of ten) is still zero ;)

The center part is pretty sweet, but I'm not a fan of the gold leaf border.

I like the US crest. Not so fond of the England one, but it could just be bigotry on my part.

The US Crest reeks of early 90s design, it's awful. They need to streamline it and make it more classic looking. It's way too bulky nowadays.

You'd get a lot more people involved in American soccer as a whole if you had the Don't Tread On Me snake stylised as a football.

Then the team could be nicknamed The Vipers or something and rather than say you're a USMNTBOUTGKOATYSTCYGGEF fan they'd say 'I'm a Viper'. And they can market the team in Dodges and poo poo

And then you can retcon in some snake like explanation for Donavons weird wrist licking thing

Really cannot wait to see the new home kit. Rumours that we're going back to the 06 style, redcurrant/no white sleeves and while a lot of people hate it, I really liked that kit.

It looks warm as hell too. I feel it's okay to wear jerseys, team jackets is sort of weird though. At the same time though, that's a really nice jacket though. Of course, I have an Arsenal fleece so who the hell am I to talk.

They should just use the US Seal. It's nice looking, and doesn't look like a 1990s photoshop mock up.

Take out the Nike logo and put stars where it says "US Soccer" and maybe the establishment date in the banner on the bottom instead of the text.

Just do what England do and have the team you're playing in the banner so it doesn't have to be written on the front of the shirt in biro

The stars are the worst part about our current crest, why would you keep them? Also it would be terrible and reek of 2000's design in 10 years.

Ah, you're right, I forgot about all the St. George's Crosses in the England crest.

This is the crest we should use. I have no idea why we ever changed it.
