Rank them in order. I'm not 100% sure the time periods on these are correct. It seems like they go through uniforms so quickly and sometimes they were worn during non WC years it's hard to tell what was when

[olldflame]

I'm not going to rank them all, but I liked bottom pic from 2005 with the white top/red diagonal band and dark blue trunks.

The 2010's are the absolute best and none of the others compare. Love those uniforms.

[SuperJon]

I was going back and forth between the 05 and the 2010. The socks for 05 suck but I loved that stripe on the jersey. I don't know why.

[Libertine]

'05 beats all comers for the simple reason that the US Soccer logo on that jersey isn't the stupid flying soccer ball logo that would be better suited to a middle-school Y team. Nothing says, "Hey, we're actually playing this sport!" like prominently featuring the particular game's requisite ball in your logo.

[BJWilliams]

I like the 2010 ones then 2005 then call me crazy but I kinda like the 1994 ones on the left.

[01LUGrad]

I need to see Alexi Lalas in all of them to make an informed judgement. Maybe we can just photoshop in that guy from the Spin Doctors.

[ALUmnus]

2010
2000 (circled number ones)
2006
Those are really the only ones that matter.

And as a side note, there are actually many professional teams that include a soccer ball in their logo. But, yeah, we could do better.

[LUconn]

I say

2005 reds (why is Donovan #21?)
2010
2006
2002
2000
1998

1994



Really though I think 2006 jumps to 2nd place if we have a decent looking crest. I feel bad that Nike is forced to work with it. 2 things I'd love to see are: 1 obviously a new crest. Everybody hates it. Even people who don't care about uniforms/logos or soccer at all hate it. It's just universally awful. Especially since soccer balls don't even look like that unless you're 8 years old. 2. once that's established, we need a fixed uniform. I hate that it changes every 2 or 4 years unless the previous one was hideous. Just pick something relatively timeless and simple and stick with it. The 2010 ones would definitely be great candidate to stick with but the 2005 Don't Tread on Me jerseys are somewhat throwbacks. So you get some history/character mixed in with a scrappy identity which I think is what US Soccer should be trying to market.

[LUconn]

I'd also like to commend everybody for refraining from using lingo like "kits" and "pitch". We say "uniform" and "field" in this country!

Yeah, nothing says 'three cheers for the red, white, and blue' quite like black / really dark navy.

[NG33]

I like 2006. That was the first U.S. jersey I bought and the stripes remind me of style of jerseys we wore for my high school team.

[SuperJon]

Here are the 2010 home jerseys:

this has some renderings based on what SJ posted above. I gotta tell you, I don't like them at all which is strange because I like the '05s. I think the guy that photoshopped these didn't use national flag blue so that could be part of the reason, but I really like the white jerseys that we used in the confed cup (the ones I have labeled as 2010).

[matshark]

How is the 2005 one a Dont Tread on Me jersey? I don't see it anywhere on the shirt.

[LUconn]

I don't think it says it on there. That's just what Nike called that version. They only wore them once in their "send off" game before the WC.



edit: actually after squinting at the picture, I can see the snake on their sleeves. Our left, their right.

[LUconn]

this guy did a very similar blog post about a month before I started this thread. His dates are most likely much more accurate as I was really just guessing.

http://project2010.wordpress.com/2009/1 ... er-jersey/

Notice the US soccer crests on the 1988 and 1990 jerseys? Unbelievably superior to that gay flying soccer ball we have now

[ALUmnus]

Yeah, that's the old USSF badge that I used to wear as a ref. It's not really a good team/country badge, too formal and corporate-like.

Looks the same as what SJ posted. I guess it's just official now. I don't really like the diagonal sash.

[WinterIsComing]

2010. Not overly sudued or flashy, a good in between. It says we mean business and can kick some as...but we also have a sensitive metro side that says if we lose, who cares, we look good doing it. It's like Jason Bourne meets Derek Zoolander meets Lt. Aldo Raine.

[Hold My Own]

Isnt this the universal symbol for bacon?




I think my favorite is 06
