And I agree that if we're going to go with the sash, it shouldn't be gray- it should be red, like the one we wore <a href="http://cdn.bleacherreport.com/images_root/image_pictures/0271/7323/1950-world-cup_feature.jpg" rel="nofollow">when we beat England.</a> That said, I am on record as the only guy that liked the blue pinstripe kit we used for the Gold Cup last year. So what do I know? yeah, jjf, but unlike Scotland, navy isn’t our home color- white is.

Am I crazy about the declaring the specific "shade" of navy? No. I just don't want a generic blue... And I have no problem with red, beyond the fact that so many international teams rely on that color to signify their "fandom" in a stadium. Shit, half of Europe runs red, and if the US is ever to truly win a WC, we have to be able to beat European teams, much less South American teams...lots of red down there too... Most important thing to me: I WANT A "LOOK" for the USA. If it happens to be red and white, or blue and white, or blue and red, just create a look that is "iconic", whether Nike or Adidas "interprets" it... @Mike all of our best uniforms, and the ones that have carried the most historical weight, are ones that have used navy blue.

I'll fight this fight anywhere, anyhow...There are 2 countries in this world who regularly use NAVY BLUE, and its the US and Scotland. Damn near something like 75-80% of countries use a variation of red. And if you presume that Mexico is our primary adversary, WTF do we wear a color that they do, when NAVY is OURS alone locally? Why share red at all?? I can't explain some stupid founder's of Sam's Army's stupidity... Unleash the hounds, but f**k Sam’s Army.
