    Question are shorts in football an afterthought when it comes to designing new kits? Ive noticed its pretty much the same template used with varying colors. The top will be some radical change with the latest tech and then the shorts is shown and its blah.

    Do some of you play football outdoors in the cold? If so, what do you use? Thinking about getting something for running/jogging and outdoor activities for next winter

    Are you talking about gear/clothes to wear? If so SRFY highly recommends the Under Armour cold gear. I got my some Nike hyperwarm gear (tights & top) that worked really well for him.

    I think he's saying the kit is rather plain instead of "clean"

    Like for example- the France Euro 2012 Away- CLEAN [​IMG]

    All-white, two-color, it worked. It had style to it.

    The US kit looks like something made for the coaches and staff instead of the on-field kit.

    I liked it. Nike can't use the Ballon d'Or because they have an exclusive partnership with adidas. I have a feeling if they could use the award it wouldn've factored into the promo vid.

    I'm interested to see how the US fares against Ronnie. Aside from the friendlies with Germany & Belgium (& a few others), they're used to playing CONCACAF teams.

    when I said it looked like for a coach or staff this is what i meant.

    Yeah it's in blue but you get my point. Not PSed at all.

    Figo won the World Player of the Year Award going into the World Cup and Portugal faced the US, and lost in the opener.

    Coincidentally, that was the last time the US wore collars on their home shirt before now.

    You could say the same thing about ANY kit with a collar. Any kit that's not flashy really.

    The Centinieal kit absolutely looks like something a coach would wear on the sidelines but it's still fire.

    nah the centennial kit looked like a kit. There is a way to make a collared kit look like a kit rather than a coach/staff piece.

    any way wanted to see the effect of it on a player:

    If you're referring to the cross that may appear on the Milan shirt, it would be the St. Ambrose cross which is the flag for the city of Milan. He was the bishop there long ago (now the patron saint of the city & the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio). My man NTer Coupe also mentioned it in the old thread too. :D :wink:

    I like the Columbia kits.

     St. Ambrose Cross = St. George's cross.

    One and the same. Just what its generally referred to in Italy.

    Actually the St. George's cross didn't come into existence until after the 3rd crusade (I think). The red cross & white back round was used much before then by northern Italian towns like Milan & Genoa - the St. Ambrose flag.

    I think the English paid to use the flag at first to guarantee safe passage through Northern Italy during those times. I also remember there is a French connection to the cross also.

    You can call it the same thing but I don't think historians do depending on the region of Europe your talking about... :wink:

    Now if you talk about Barca, than it's the St. George or St. Jordi as he's known in Cataluna...

    Cool read from soccer bible. Some of this stuff is already known & the other stuff seems like stuff they know, just aren't allowed to confirm officially yet.
