Hello WPS fans,
I decided to come here to give my personal opinion on the uniforms that the teams are going to wear in this 2009 WPS Inaugural Season. Why? Why is a guy talking about fashion? Hey, it's not just fashion, it's SOCCER FASHION. And believe it or not I followed all seasons of Project Runway, I saw that kid Christian Siriano (who designed all the uniforms) win the whole thing on season 4, and PUMA® is a brand known for it's combination of fashion and high technology in sports gear. So with no further adue let's start my fashion analysis. (I'll rate the from 1 to 10 according to my opinion ok?)
Oh and before I start, what's up with the "skorts" in some of the kits? "Skorts" are those shorts that have a flap coming from one side that make them look like skirts in the front. Tennis players and I think Lacrosse players use them frequently. I don't know if they go well with a soccer jersey.I'll have to get used to that before I give an opinion.
So now the jerseys:
The player/models chose to present the Breakers new kit were Angela
Hucles and my friend Amy Rodriguez. The shirt is plain and classic. Not a
lot fierceness on this one (take that Siriano... hahaha... just kidding) Butstill a sober a beautiful shirt. For this one I preffer the White Away Jersey. I'll give it a
7.5.
The Uniforms were presented by Carli Lloyd and Nikki Krzysik and is
probably my favorite kit. The light blue of the home jersey with the red stars crossing the center horizontally makes it unique, stylish and offers a perfect color
combination and harmony. That's a 10.
My very good friend Leslie Osborne and one of my favorite players from last
college season at UCLA,
Tina DiMartino modeled the Gold Pride's new uniforms. I'm divided on this one. I like the Home Jersey very much. I love the black and I just think that the trimming could be a little more
"goldish. It might be the picture but I think it's more like a light caramel than gold. And that's why I'm not a big fan of the away kit. It could've been a more intense golden color. Kind of
like the USA Women's jersey. But I still like it. It's an 8.5 for me.
I knew it!!! I knew they were going to have the same color patern as the LA
Galaxy. Which is very beautiful, don't get me wrong. Marta (whom I
expect to schedule an interview with pretty soon, stay tuned) and Johanna Friskpresented the kits. I like this one. It's classic; Dark Blue and Yellow nothing too crazy but still a very good
color combination. I hope to get my number 10 Marta jersey as soon as possible. I'll proudly wear it! That's a 9.
Another gorgeous one. This shade of green gives the home jersey the
so-called "fierceness". It's bold. It's beautiful. Hope Solo looked very
pretty in it (even though I like her better with a ligther hair color... ssshhh... don't tell her I said that) and Lori Chalupny presented the away jersey which is also very beautiful has a
kind of grayish-sand color that is pretty different from the what I've seen around. Very niiiice. It's the second 10 of the list.
Heather O'Reilly and Christie Rampone were the models for the Sky Blue
kits. That's is a great uniform! Both home and away. The light blueof the
home kit is simple andbeautiful and the orange away shirt is fierce. Orange is color that goes well for soccer jerseys. I'll give it a 9.5.
Allie Long and Sarah Huffman were the players chosen to present the
Freedom's new uniforms. That's definetly another case of classic that
works. Dark blue for the home jersey. Similar to the US WNT jersey and a bright beautiful red for the away kit. I like it. It's a 9.

Thanks for your fashion opinions and ratings Gil, an entertaining read. Glad you like the kits - Puma rocks!
Thank god they won't be playing in skorts!
I have to go with Red Stars as my favorite. it's different, and that's one of my favorite color combinations too. I also St. Louis, cause green's my favorite color.
I think the Pride's jersey's are going to be more gold-ish, I think it's just the picture cause then if you look at Tina, it looks gold.
Leslie is hilarious, she's the only one that can create the "wind" for her hair. lol
I totally want one of each of the jerseys haha!
i love fc gold pride. and hmm.. i don't like the red stars too much, although there's is definitely different from everyone else's.
