Rumor is that he is off to play in Saudi Arabia.
No idea why no club is signing him though. Seems very odd.

Word has been leaking for awhile that the jerseys were going to be boring.
First jersey is plain as it gets and the 2nd one looks like a tie dye shirt a typical American family would buy on their beach vacation at some touristy pier in Florida except with "PANAMA CITY, 2022" on the front https://t.co/2IZVSIm8bw

Some are saying these are training kits. Let's hope so.
They look like the women's kits from '07
tbh, I'll take boring over something that looks stupid

Yeah, those are either fakes or training kits. All the Nike kits so far have had a swoosh on the right breast and the badge on the left. USMNT will I'm sure be boring and disappointing, but those aren't them. (EDIT - looks like McKennie seems to think they are the real ones... which suuuuuucks.)
Here's a good site for seeing all the official WC kits once they're released - https://worldsoccertalk.com/world-cup-jerseys-for-qatar-2022/ (only a few adidas and Puma kits are "official" so far, so there's not much there yet)
If thats the dark jersey and not like a training kit then its pretty stupid. Its a tie-die tshirt with the crest on it.bularry said:

Weston McKennie confirms the leaked USMNT kits are real and is seemingly agreeing with most fans that they do indeed suck.

Nice one @ussoccer @nikefootball pic.twitter.com/b5gnHXcLeq
well, f me.
Needs to be a complete boycott on buying this garbage
There's no ****ing way that's what they're going with
Even the players need to step up and say that its unacceptable
Blue one is like a Load album cover redux. Serrano symbolizing USMNT are the future blue bloods and we're going drop our seed all over Qatar
How do we get whoever designs the Nigeria gear at Nike to do the USA kits?
McKennie gets the start today for Juve
Man I like this - wish it was real:

How long do you want to ignore this user?

How hard is it to just use the colors of the flag on the kits all the time?
Those are awesome. I would get one for sure. Take a hint Nike.
There are easily 10-20 fan created concepts that are better than the Nike stuffdeadbq03 said:

The only non-negative response I have is that the hoodie is safe and uninspired.
How must it feel to be on the design team at Nike (or anywhere) and immediate widespread fan reaction to something that (presumably, but maybe not) spent months working on and endless meetings and approvals is, "This sucks"?
I mean, I hope they feel bad, but it still sucks for them.

I just don't see how they came to the conclusion that this was a design that was going to sell a lot of units in what is the most prime market for the jersey. Most people who buy soccer jerseys for their national team want to have the WC kit. How does this design get through to approval. CC Creations makes more creative stuff than this to sell in a tent on a football Saturday.
They should have two focus groups to gain approval for any NT design. The actual core players on the team and then maybe a panel of selected fans from American Outlaws. Get any design screened and approved before mass production.
I don't see how anyone, current or future fans, would want to drop $90 on that kit. Its terrible

I don't feel bad for them. They did a **** job. If they tried to make a decent job, I'd feel bad, but this looks like they mailed it in.
Yeah, it's not like US supporters groups and fans are mysterious or silent about what they want.
Yes and no. Seems like there's a lot of conflicting opinions. I've been surprised to see that a ton of folks on twitter really love the old Miss America sash which I absolutely loathe.jeffk said:

Yeah, the sash thing is pretty divisive. (I don't like them either.)
But for the most part everyone seems to agree that 1) just stick with the colors of the flag, 2) don't go crazy with abstract designs, and 3) WALDOS (at least most people love them from what I can tell).

Geez. This really is awful. I have seen better high school uniforms. How hard is it to make a solid jersey concept? Surely it cant be that hard.
The sash is absolutely awful.
I think there are really two schools of thought. One that thinks that clean, classic (read "plain") design makes us the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox of soccer (like England!). And another that wants a standardized identity that is consistent and stands out as "Oh thats the USA" on first glance. The sash people just are wishy washy types that want both, but cant dream of going too far in either direction, I think. Basically, they're able to think of it in terms of there being an identity that comes from the historical context just because we once won a game in those long before anybody who cares about soccer now was born.

I'm pro sash but mainly because we practically established an identity with them with the 06' an 10' kits. All I want is continuity. More than happy to see that with happen with Waldos or whatever
Not to mention historical significance with the sash. I personally like it as a signature look.
But yeah, if you just did a clean solid white with a wide chest stripe and the waldos 90%+ of the fanbase would be on board.

Every year or two I'll tell myself I'll buy the next iteration of the US jersey, yet it's always terrible. The streak goes on.
Sands and Tilman starting again today against PSV in UCL Qualifying match.
Josh Sargent scored in the 6th minute against Huddersfield
This is delightful from Josh Sargent. You can see him making run wide, and then he must have curled around and anticipated ball perfectly. Heck yeah #USMNT
