It's the "4 star" kit, which is a boring ass design.
It's also hilarious that they have a woman wearing the waldo jersey on their website.Heads up, no one associates that jersey with the Women's team.

Honestly if I'm picking two jerseys home and away for the rest of time, I'm picking the Centennial for home and bomb pops for away.
I never got too much into the hoops, and I think the bomb pops are more unique, and to me will always be (whether stupid or not) be a symbol of getting over that damn Ghana curse lol

Bomb pops look like Central American style to me. Not bad, just doesn't look right. Maybe if they had paired it with non-red shorts...I really think its just that the red and blue are the wrong shade for the US colorsPahdz said:

That's fair, someone who is good with Photoshop clear that up for us
Also, your Central America comment holds some weight, but we executed with a good brand and not Joma, Admiral or whatever third rate supplier those nations use
Round two begins at 11, I think.
I'm holding on to a sliver of hope that Nike is paying attention to what the fans like.

Possibly.
Round 2 is tomorrow.

Lots of folks claiming the poll is rigged so the 4 star women's uni can save face. Wouldn't surprise me at all.
It beat the bomb -pop. The Centennial kit lost too.
Looks like every kit except for the Waldos won on twitter but lost the overall vote among all platforms.

I didnt realize there was voting on other platforms, what were they.texaggierm said:

Website just says instagram and twitter
So the waldos won 78.7% to 21.3% with 4,300 votes on twitter
The official results with the US soccer instagram, as well as the USMNT and USWNT on instagram (instagram being more predominately used by women)
53-47% Waldos
thats pretty crazy

Crap kits made the final - 2020 Away and the 2019 WNT jersey.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
So odd
U.S. Soccer getting called out by a lot of fans for rigging the entire thing.
It's a soccer uniform poll, I know, but this is peak US Soccer buffoonery. They can't do anything right. 2002 seems sooooo long ago.

It's a shame that the centennial kit lost. By far the best kit that has been put out in recent years.
That's the thing, they probably actually advanced pretty far, but the poll was rigged.
The championship should be the Waldos and the Centennial. Yet, through US Soccer "magic" it's two butt-ugly kits worn primarily by the USWNT recently.
This could have been pretty informative for Nike, assuming 1) they were listening and 2) that they actually care.

Counterpoint to your first paragraph...
I'd venture to say that right now the WNT has more engaged fans than the men do. It's very plausible that this wasn't rigged but driven by young females (who let's face it, are super into social media) stuffing the ballots

I think that's what happened. Friday or Thursday, I voted in the semifinal matchups and the voting for twitter and on USMNT instagram was similar, but voting on the USWNT instagram was totally opposite. To me it looked like if a woman wore the kit, then that won the USWNT instagram and generally won the matchup.Pahdz said:

I get that, it just sucks that the contest really isn't about the kits, but about their players pictured wearing them.
This is as good a place as any to post this article. Some good talent early then a drop 10 years ago.

Its hard to read about all these kids who had potential and never produced anything mainly due to injuries. I remember having such a sense of hope with Gyau, Diskerud and Acosta, just to name a few, all broke onto the scene. The lost generation is a great way to describe them
Josh Lambo making an appearance
Sounds about right to me.

He pretty much nailed my opinion on this whole ordeal.
The ladies bargained their own deal. Then *****ed about it.
The decision suits them well.
I thought the Josh Lambo interview from the BSI Podcast (Benny Feilhaber, Sal Zizzo, Ike Opara) was worth a listen for us soccer + football fanstexaggierm said:
