Today: A quick look at some of the more... dubious.... fashion choices of US Soccer over the last few years, in our AWAY jerseys.
Honestly, the last really good US jersey in my opinion was the 1998 US jersey for qualifying (but then discarded by US Soccer for the actual World Cup!). I bought that one (retail!!) and it's still the only US jersey I own. I will buy a new one when they produce a new one worth buying (though I admit the current home jersey, white with the faint gray "sash," is probably the least offensive since 1998).
First up is the 1994 away jersey from the World Cup. US Soccer told Nike to "Wr
ap the boys in the flag," and Nike complied. It has a sort of denim look, but was not denim. The "home" jersey that year was an even-more-hideous white shirt with lots of thin red vertical stripes. Eeeek.

I think it's only marginally better than the denim stars deal from '94.

The faux-denim look from 94 remains my least favorite.
I just wish they'd settle on one classic design and leave it alone.
Some kits you don't mess with: Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Italy...
As soon as we pick one and stick with it I'll buy one.
Right now my international jersey collections consists of: Costa Rica, Switzerland, Honduras and Italy.
