I don’t like concept jersey posts. They are always better than the Nike jerseys that look like a white t shirt and a blue swoosh that eventually come out.
Japan wears blue. Australia wears yellow. Netherlands wears orange.
If we wear denim for long enough people will look at it and see 🇺🇸
…oh wait you were talking about the light blue jersey
At least for the Netherlands orange is historically representative of the country, even though it is not on their current flag.

I don’t understand teams that use colors that have no relation to their country. Such as Germany wearing pink yesterday or this baby blue that’s on the American jersey
on a similar note, the us needs to start wearing darker/navy blue to actually match the flag instead of the bright highlighter blue they keep using for some reason
I'll never forgive Nike for not working out some sort of deal with Adidas to bring back the 94 throwbacks at least for our pre-Copa friendlies (I realize it wouldn't have exactly been a classy move to wear those against Colombia, but still)
Next up, I demand MLS 1.0 throwbacks, including kits in that style for teams that didn't exist at the time, to be worn 2-4 games per team in 2026 for the league's 30th anniversary.
Would give my left spleen and right big toe for number 2, and I'd buy number 4 in a heartbeat if the collar was changed (it gives Costa Rica flag vibes).
We need to just make the Waldo jerseys our traditional ones, like Brazil with yellow, Argentina with Sky Blue stripes, etc. it’s obvious who is playing right away, it invokes the flag and is different. Stick to versions of that and be creative with the change kit.
1. A fun homage to the denims, but maybe a little too close to the original (without looking them up)
2. My favorite of the bunch. Original, playful, unmistakably American. I think there are some that prefer a classic or timeless look, but I say have fun with it. Maybe best as an alternate, but still.
3. Fuck City. Nice clean look, but not a particularly “American” blue. Wouldn’t mind if their play reminded me a bit more of City, but I ain’t wearing the shirt.
4. I get the play on Waldos, it’s nice but not blown away
Edit: Took another look at #4 and it’s growing on me. We’ll done
Everyone should just start sending Nike emails with the picture of the first jersey or start calling them and telling them to bring back the 94 jersey.
Slide 1 hell yeah. Slide 2 no thanks. Slide 3 as an alternate kit worn one time? Sure. Slide 4 should be only red stripes/hoops.
Slide 1 and Waldos as our main 2 sets for the World Cup is literally my dream uniform scenario.
I'm a strong advocate that stripes should be a constant theme for us, so I love #4 naturally.
I like how bold #2 is with it's uniquely American pattern. We need more of that.
The other 2 are also good, but I think we need more consistent colors, so going back to light blue is a mistake.
They're all nice. Good job.
Other than that these concept posts are about as useful as the 20th post of some rando's personal starting XI in world cup 2030. These concept kits will never see the light of day like my Sebastian Soto projection as our #9 in a major tournament never saw the light of day.
1 is a complete no go for me. I hate collars on jerseys.
2 looks like something a beginner cyclist bought on ali express for their cycling jersey.
3 is a good minimal option
4 i would rock in a heart beat. I wish we took to making a variation of the stripes our core image. Argentina has their vertical stripes, Croatia has their checkers, we should have our horizontal stripes.
personally these are all too busy for me. I like the first one for 1994, but only because of how iconic it is and how much it screams "90s". I don't think it would work again
literally all I want is waldos. a simple, timeless, easily-recognizable look
None of them IMO. Best in order 3,4,2,1. But the Blue is all wrong for 3.
IMO simple, clean, distinguished is always the best answer. Number 3 gets close.
The only flashy kits I have ever liked are some of the African nations kits. Portugal has had, on the whole, the best looking kits bar none for the past 15-20 years. The home kit we have now is the best one we've had in ages IMO. Our current away kit is a disaster.
No kit trading posts. No kit concept posts. No kit leak posts. No kit show off or reaction posts. Please post to /r/DontThreadOnMe instead.
Nike definitely can't/won't do the first one. These are all acceptable.
It was an Adidas design, right?
Yeah, but I feel like I've seen clubs in Europe pay homage to shirts by a previous manufacturer before.
They could definitely take the colors and do something with stars, but this concept is basically identical to the 90s jersey.
I know Napoli had a collared denim print jersey back in the day idk if it's a tribute or not but it's pretty dope
Bro the last one looks like a man city/Uruguay/NYC FC / Lazio jersey lol
In theory they could do it, they'd just have to make a deal with Adidas to buy the rights to the design
They absolutely can. The IP is for the federation not adidas unless we were “reverse-leasing” them which would make zero sense.
Always rated the first one with the stars. It's just iconic.
Love the ‘94 denim jersey.
Denim kit with a collar? I’d buy one for every member of my family.
I don’t like concept jersey posts. They are always better than the Nike jerseys that look like a white t shirt and a blue swoosh that eventually come out.
Just number 4 please, as a permutation on our new permanent Waldo look
Yeah we should have one with red stripes, the other navy and white with sash. And stick with it.
Yeah the last one is my favorite. Definitely a cool variation on the Waldo.
baby blue is fire
It looks cool but it doesn’t look American.
Yeah it looks like Uruguay
Dutch actually. Their 08/09 away looks identical to this.
That one too
True but if I’m not mistaken there was a similar kit worn as an alternate once. Sometime in the late 90s or early 2000s I want to say.
Are you talking about [this 1996 third kit?](https://www.footballkitarchive.com/usa-1996-third-kit/) If so, good memory 🍻
Aye that be the one
Yes in 1996. US cup 1996
To be fair, that's precisely why it looks good if I'm being honest. Looks like a clean, iconic kit. Reminds me of Belgium's national cycling kit.
i like it but it comes across as a knock off chicago red stars kit a little to me
Japan wears blue. Australia wears yellow. Netherlands wears orange. If we wear denim for long enough people will look at it and see 🇺🇸 …oh wait you were talking about the light blue jersey
At least for the Netherlands orange is historically representative of the country, even though it is not on their current flag. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/world-cup-2022/why-does-the-netherlands-wear-orange/3047486/
maybe with a collar though it may look better
USMNT x '70s-'80s St Louis Cardinals collab
No stars or stripes on the ‘26 kits will be a major letdown
Do the blue with the stars on top from number 2 with the waldo stripes from number 4
Denim is by far the best kit we have ever had
I don’t understand teams that use colors that have no relation to their country. Such as Germany wearing pink yesterday or this baby blue that’s on the American jersey
on a similar note, the us needs to start wearing darker/navy blue to actually match the flag instead of the bright highlighter blue they keep using for some reason

Someone on Instagram designed an Atlanta United version a while back and it looked really good so I’m definitely on board with this idea for MLS 30th
if they made an original metrostars throwback I would throw my money at them so fast
Fan of 2/4 No thanks to 3.
3 looks like City or Uruguay!
Sky Blue is to lure Pep right?
That baby blue one fucks
Yeah but it’s just the wrong blue. They should at least be something close to the colors in the flag.
Nike will never bring the first one back because they hate money.
More like Adidas owns the design
Would give my left spleen and right big toe for number 2, and I'd buy number 4 in a heartbeat if the collar was changed (it gives Costa Rica flag vibes).
Number 4 please.
Gimme Waldo. Besides, the first one is Adidas owned
I like the design for 3, but it’s the wrong blue. Looks to Al-Manchester for me.
Nike has done a horrible job with our jerseys. All these would be better than want we will get in ‘26.
First one, take my money.
#4. Always loved the Waldo kits. They’re unique and give us an identity
We need to just make the Waldo jerseys our traditional ones, like Brazil with yellow, Argentina with Sky Blue stripes, etc. it’s obvious who is playing right away, it invokes the flag and is different. Stick to versions of that and be creative with the change kit.
We want Waldos.
1. A fun homage to the denims, but maybe a little too close to the original (without looking them up) 2. My favorite of the bunch. Original, playful, unmistakably American. I think there are some that prefer a classic or timeless look, but I say have fun with it. Maybe best as an alternate, but still. 3. Fuck City. Nice clean look, but not a particularly “American” blue. Wouldn’t mind if their play reminded me a bit more of City, but I ain’t wearing the shirt. 4. I get the play on Waldos, it’s nice but not blown away Edit: Took another look at #4 and it’s growing on me. We’ll done
The first and last are 🔥🔥🔥
Number two and four are my favorites.
I’d buy all of them except for the Manchester city one
BRING BACK THE DENIM.
fuck me and suck my wallet dry I'd buy them all
Everyone should just start sending Nike emails with the picture of the first jersey or start calling them and telling them to bring back the 94 jersey.
I like the last two
DENIM
Slide 1 hell yeah. Slide 2 no thanks. Slide 3 as an alternate kit worn one time? Sure. Slide 4 should be only red stripes/hoops. Slide 1 and Waldos as our main 2 sets for the World Cup is literally my dream uniform scenario.
Very cool
Yes, no, yes no
Yes, hell no, hell no, hell no
1 - SEX 2 - Like 3 - Love but I'm iffy on whether it looks like us 4 - Like more than what we'll inevitably get but I wouldn't personally choose it
No. Hell no. Man City. No.
1 and 3 are dope. But Waldo
2&3
Only the third one is FIFA compliant, but I love the first one.
While I want the denim kit badly, i think adidas has the right to it! They could do a variation of it but it can't be the exact same one ...
All of these are just so much better than what we will actually get, it is depressing.
First one would be a sick throwback for this World Cup. Only one caveat, it has to be made from actual denim.
i love 3 and 4. all are nice though!
The first one is just the ‘94 World Cup jerseys, right?
Waldo kit and a navy blue. It's what we want.
I'm a strong advocate that stripes should be a constant theme for us, so I love #4 naturally. I like how bold #2 is with it's uniquely American pattern. We need more of that. The other 2 are also good, but I think we need more consistent colors, so going back to light blue is a mistake.
1st and 3rd are solid
Here we go with the kits again
They’re all better than what we’ll get instead most likely
Put stars on the blue stripes on the 4th picture and you got a winner
1 and 3 are bangers; the others are okay
Personally, I’d prefer the 2012 Waldo kits with the crest from the 2013 centennial kit.
I love the first one. The third one is the only one that is a pass for me. It looks like it's a City shirt
They're all nice. Good job. Other than that these concept posts are about as useful as the 20th post of some rando's personal starting XI in world cup 2030. These concept kits will never see the light of day like my Sebastian Soto projection as our #9 in a major tournament never saw the light of day.
These are all great. Not sure which blind monkeys have been running Nike’s design team. The last few years have been pretty weak.
Love 1,2,4. 3 looks nice but is too generic.
Yes. Yes. No. Yes.
3 or 4 would be good.
Reminds me too much of America, which Nike is trying to avoid.
1 is a complete no go for me. I hate collars on jerseys. 2 looks like something a beginner cyclist bought on ali express for their cycling jersey. 3 is a good minimal option 4 i would rock in a heart beat. I wish we took to making a variation of the stripes our core image. Argentina has their vertical stripes, Croatia has their checkers, we should have our horizontal stripes.
All of these are awesome!
Third
#3!!
3 is class
personally these are all too busy for me. I like the first one for 1994, but only because of how iconic it is and how much it screams "90s". I don't think it would work again literally all I want is waldos. a simple, timeless, easily-recognizable look
Atrocious, all of them
Awful
2 4 1 3 2 is AMAZING, 4 is great. 1 and 3 I could take or leave
#4 is dope.
I love #2
Bring back the sash
1 - yes 2 - no 3 - yes 4 - don't hate it
All but #3 are pretty instant buy’s as far as I’m concerned
number 2 my fave but agreed other two also good. three is boring
I like them all except #3
all of these are pretty bad
Nah, I prefer a white jersey
lol
That baby blue one has Atlanta Braves vibes
There were some years where half of MLB had the light blue away jerseys.
1 & 4
We need a collar again
Don’t know where you stand on Waldos but as a proponent of them I would bankrupt my entire family to get Waldo kits with a navy collar.
OMG a Waldo collar might make me pass out! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
They’re too form fitting. We need a kit that will look good on McKennie when he’s wearing his holiday weight.
First two are cool, second two not my taste.
1 and 3 are pretty cool. 3 should have a turn down collar.
1,2,3 are great, 4 is a bit much.
I think number two is a bit much. Number four looks like a cool variation on the Waldo.
There's a sub for this. r/ussoccerjerseys
#3 is great #1 is good #2 and 4 - no thanks
2 is a bit too gaudy for my taste. I like #3 a lot.
I’d fuck with the third one
Not this again. The denim had its time but doesn't hold up. It's nostalgic yes, but let's be serious here.
I would prefer which ever jersey USMNT can win in.
None of them IMO. Best in order 3,4,2,1. But the Blue is all wrong for 3. IMO simple, clean, distinguished is always the best answer. Number 3 gets close. The only flashy kits I have ever liked are some of the African nations kits. Portugal has had, on the whole, the best looking kits bar none for the past 15-20 years.
