    Hey, you should write an article ranking the USMNT kits. I was looking around BR for awhile but couldn't find anything (kinda surprised. maybe I didn't look hard enough?). I found this site which should be helpful:
    http://project2010.wordpress.com/2009/10/13/better-know-a-kit-a-history-of-the-modern-u-s-soccer-jersey/

    Just a suggestion. I think it'd be a good read/ nice bit of nostalgia. Keep up the good articles!

    Hey Ned,
    You can use google images, just make sure not to use sports illustrated cuz they aren't fond of us lol. Email the BR staff with the same question and see what they say. Let me know.
    Regards,

    Thanks Ned!

    I'm actually surprised more people don't ask me about that. For clarification, I'm a Tottenham fan first, Arsenal second. I like Arsenal's style, as well as their fiscal conservativeness (although even I think they need to spend a little more in the transfer market), and so I've always been drawn to them. Plus my dad's an Arsenal fan, and raised me as one too.

    I became a fan of Tottenham on my own, mostly due to how much I liked Robbie Keane, and the fact that, at the time I became a fan, they had two Egyptians actively playing in their squad, Mido and Hossam Ghaly. Although the Egyptians are gone now and Keane isn't really a prominent part of the squad any longer, I'm still a fan of the team's toughness and never-say-die attitude, and I guess once you become a fan of a team for a while you just don't let go.

    So there's the explanation :)
