USMNT Go Preppy

By: Laurie | January 31st, 2008
   

usmnt-jersey.jpgI saw this photo of the new US Men’s National Team jersey yesterday and burst out laughing.

Seriously, does this just scream “Tad and Buffy Go to Prep School” or what?

  • Prescott "Bif" Van Patton, esq
    That's one nifty chemise.
  • Johnny, your combination of quote and link made me laugh out loud.

    Caddyshack = Best Movie Ever. No exceptions.
  • "Get dressed Spaulding, you're playing golf today."
  • jz
    I think it would make nice golf attire.
  • Sam
    Oh Jesus. Disgusting.
  • elle
    totally agree. taylor twellman will love it.
  • CSD,

    I can't see any of the women's national team members wearing that thing. Except maybe on a golf course?

    I mean, seriously - WTF?!
  • MLS bedding?!?!

    Ok, I just looked. You sleep on the logos and not the players. Whew. Creep factor averted.
  • CSD
    I think Nike got the women's and men's mixed up.
  • MLS Bedding. Why does this thought make me giggle?

    Wonder if my husband would mind if I bought some?
  • aja
    i rather like it, though it is...staid.

    speaking of prep school-ness, i was on pottery barn teen's website, looking for curtains, and on the homepage the first thing i saw pics of landon donovan, brian ching, and david beckham. which morphed into a picture of david beckham. they are introducing their mls bedding collection.

    If you want a preppy collar jersey the look no further that Italy's new away jersey. They didn't need a new kit or the world cup to come off more arrogant than they already are.

    US need a new logo and maybe go with Adidas so they can market along side the MLS.
  • @Kenny - MLS kits are all Adidas, not Nike.
  • Nolan
    How does that not have collar?
  • I think it's a nice-looking shirt. It's just really, really preppy. More Taylor Twellman than Kyle Beckerman.
  • Kenny
    It's crap! It's time to drop Nike, their designers don't know what the hell they are doing. Just look at the MLS logos. New badge is also needed, I agree.
  • Dave
    I agree with Lucas- definitely better than the blue w/ white pinstripes. And come on, it's better than the stars and stripes they wore back in the 90's...

    BUT I would'nt buy one.
  • Rubbish. Looks more fit for a golf course or the tennis club.
  • Brandon
    I like it.
  • Ian
    For cold weather games, they should just add a turtleneck, and a beret, and a monocle. Maybe the goal is to get the other side so distracted laughing and taking pictures of the team that they can score on an open goal.
  • @Gianfranco - definitely the red shirt with the sash was mint. The logo was old school and not shit, the don't tread on me snake on the sleeve was deadly (and could make a fine team crest on its own).

    I don't HATE this new shirt, I mean it's still better than the blue w/white pinstripes monstrosity. And I do like the two standards they use (blue with horizontal bar, white with vertical bar). My main complaint is the badge, which is clip art crap.
  • jz
    I bet Taylor Twellman will love it...
  • Shane
    It screams "We are better than you...at something."
  • IT SUCKS
  • ben
    Where's the Polo Ralph Lauren logo?
  • its missing a one thing, the poppable collar. SO LAME. They should bring back the Dont Tread on Me Jersey...
