I love it, at a time when Trump has set the world against the country it’s smart to be less “in your face” while still showing the colours. ---

The same discussion we have in Switzerland every time when our national team for soccer/football gets a new dress. I think it would be boring if the designers had to stick with the official flag colors over all those years. Personally I like that new american kit, the soft colors look “dreamy” to me… The american dream? ---

I agree, the previous design was dowdy and depressing. I think it has to be all Captain America all the time but I’m happy to see this new Rapha design too. ---

I like it, with the exception that the kerning between the S and A seems off. ---

Isn’t it related to bodies not being flat and all? The A does seem a bit « off ». Still like the design. ---

Perfectly captures the growing discomfort I have in my American skin. So, yes, this is the one I’d choose to wear even if my heart longs to be the country that would be ok with the Rapha version (realizing that, for cycling apparel makers, the spectrum of colors from orange to red occupies a place they randomly call either orange or red—looking at you, DMT, Specialized, and Fizik). ---

well, that one clearly lost because where’s the golden eagle firing an auto cannon at a small group of boats? who’ forgot the absolutely cooked giant donny with laser eyes burning immigrant neighbourhoods and in his hands - one bloodied clench crushing Antifa and in the other Wokeness? ---

its far better than the new USMNT kit, so we’ll call it a win… ---

Oh that is brilliant!! I hadn’t realised there was a trans flag, went to check and yep, surprisingly similar, to the point that those keen to wear tin hats might suggest it was a deliberate subtle trolling. ---

USA cycling posted some images of the cx riders racing in it at Benidorm, it looks WAY better in daylight than in the rapha photos to my eye. ---

No surprise Rapha is going under. Pretty sad when this is the best they can do. Their BS marketing “art review” of the design was laughable as an art major. Pure spin and no real concept. ---

I’m a fan of the new version as I always thought the older versions were too comic book super hero-y or no nuance, Primal Jersey type of style. I do think it would have been nice with a darker red and navy-er blue. IMHO, of course.
