Uniform Madness


An article on Slate discusses the dismal state of the USMNT uniform. Actually, as the article (actually it's a slide show) indicates, using the term uniform seems inappropriate. While on the one hand, the all members of the team where the same garments top and bottom, which is one definition of uniform, the other definition, suggesting consistency from year-to-year clearly is missing. As the article notes, when someone mentions Brazil or Mexico or Italy, a soccer fan immediately can picture the team's uniform jersey. How about for the US? Nope, didn't think so.

Does that picture on the right trigger anything??

Here's a link to the article.
