Kind of funky looking, but better blue than we had.

The palette took the red, white and blue of the United States flag, and used elements inspired by the jersey of the 1950 World Cup tournament where the U.S. defeated England. These cues come in the form of bold stripes on both the home and away versions, and a large U.S. Soccer crest bordered in gold to stand out more than ever before.

The white of the home jersey backs a double obsidian blue and brick house red stripe that runs down the left side, disappearing into the blue short and re-appearing for the length of the white sock. The U.S. Soccer logo sits over the stripe on the left chest and on the right leg of the short.

The away kit is a modern-day retro jersey, hearkening back to the original Nike uniform designed for the U.S. Men's National Team back in 1995 and worn for two years. The uniform features a deep obsidian blue jersey, with a rich brick house red horizontal stripe across the chest bordered on either side by clean white stripes. The number breaks up the stripe in the center of the chest, and a prominent U.S. Soccer logo is on the left chest. It is designed to be worn with white shorts and obsidian blue socks.

Reminds me a little of the 1995 uniform. Different(better) shade or blue this time.

Anybody think of Mike Burns when the goal got past Rolfe on the post?
