That New USA jersey

Anyone else see the Team USA Olympic jersey preview from Rapha? Personally, I would have expected a much better design effort. something which honors the historic design with a classy update. What Rapha has created is simply ugly to my eye.

That “light red” looks orange in the photos I’ve seen. Not impressed.

Agree. Very, very underwhelmed. Doesn’t even come off as red, white, and blue to the eye. I was going to buy a couple to get the nice treatment from cars but not sure if I can bring myself to now.

It doesn’t even remotely evoke anything American and is a complete failure as a Team USA jersey. As a weary Canadian, I love it! :wink:

I am neither overwhelmed or underwhelmed… I am whelmed.

Wasn’t the jersey in last year’s worlds just black and white?

It slaps. Great national team kit.

I dig it. It’s a great design. As a bonus, it doesn’t have that loud or in your face vibe, which is a welcome change from the vibe my country is inflicting on the world right now.

I LOVE it, so much better than the previously antique design. This is a modern kit

I’d do a overloaded trump design, probably put his mouth right on the crotch, the only problem is, satire is lost on some people

Rapha’s design narrowly won out over this one

It’s a great looking design. But not as a USA national kit.

Essence of America. Captured so well :fire:

Finally. A beautiful design for USA. It’s shockingly not gaudy for a change. This is not meant to sound unpatriotic, but Stars and Stripes in their full-color glory don’t usually make for something that’s attractive.

Personally think it looks great. Bit of a nod to the Orange, White and Blue that is the current USA. Having said that I’d have preferred that they commission Road Toad to design it, that’d have been a banger.

It’s growing on me. We could use more subtlety around here.
