I don't know. Maybe the ostentatiousness of being really public about a $1 cancer donation is putting me in a bad mood, but I think the Team USA jerseys look like [censored]. A plain white front with USA in block letters and a flag. It looks like they used one of those generic club jersey designs. You know, the ones with a big blank white area that you can fill in with a sponsor logo.
I pretty much wrote Performance off after they spammed me relentlessly after I bought something from them online, in the process causing me to flush a lot of time down the crapper following their directions to get them to stop, none of which actually worked. But this seals it. Never again.
I'm embarrassed for my country. The jerseys suck. Say what you will about French hygiene, I'll bet their jerseys are way cooler looking.

I think it is an excellent design and very smart looking. It is hot in Athens and this will be a comfortable jersey. Has just enough on it to display a lot of "CLASS" without being gaudy. My compliments to the choice.

I like them. The USA lettering, outlined block letters on white, is very retro and looks like something you'd see on the side of an early NASA rocket. It's a clean, crisp retro look. It's a nice break from the typical euro jerseys that seem to try to outdo each other to see who can come up with the most garish combination of overdone clashing colors (e.g., Euskaltel-Euskadi).

I Like them too, not too busy. Other jerseys look like they are plugged into a socket. The simple look is nice for a change.

I saw them in person at the ADT center while doing some motorpacing for a member of the track team. It actually looks pretty good in person when you see the complete kit with top and bottom or as a skinsuit Dave
Well somewhat similar but the Kanajun Maple Leaf emblem is a bit more prominent than the US Flag.
But that reminds me of a cartoon I saw 'bout 40 years ago when the Kolonial Kanuks started seeking a National Identity, so they saddled up Roxinante and charged off in hot pursuit of that Holy Grail 🙂 )
But if you don't have a Flag nobody knows who you are or what you stand for, so the Kanuks decided they were gonna get them selves a Flag to rally round if they wanted to be an Independent Country so there were all kindsa competitions to come up with a Flag to replace the old Union Standard.
The best one I saw at the time was a Cow superimposed on a Green Field with lines delineating the Provincial Boundaries.
And our Heraldic Bovine was Feeding in British Columbia, being Milked in Ontario and guess what it was doing on Kbek and the Maritimes 🙂 🙂

I must say the new Canadian national team kit is also pretty lame, versus the previous design.

I realize this isn't practical, due to costs and riders' preferences for a specific helmet model and fitting, but it would be nice if they could all have matching helmets.
Have the jersey's ever been good? Every year they try some [censored] new idea. Why not let a real designer try his/her hand. I think the US flag looks kinda cool but we seem to shy away from the flag these days. Why? Put a USA jersey on that looks like a flag (I recall the women's '96 gymnastics team having cool leo's) and you won't need to write USA on it.

I dunno, my model for simple beauty is the solid blue Italian jerseys. To me they look more generic than simple.

The sponsor wouldn't be happy. They typically wear their team shorts too, although I have seen national team shorts on pros.
More and more federations seem to be supplying nat'l team shorts with a location for the pro's team sponsor's logos. I would say it is no longer typical to wear team shorts but the team's sponsors are still typically represented on a section of the shorts.
