WPS Uniforms Revealed - Some are great! Some are classic! They all are fashionable!

Wednesday, 25 February 09, 11:00 AM · Comments(4)

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:

BOSTON BREAKERS

 Boston Breakers - NEW UNIFORMS

The player/models chose to present the Breakers new kit were Angela NEW WPS UNIFORMSHucles 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.






CHICAGO RED STARS:

 Chicago Red Stars - NEW UNIFORMS

The Uniforms were presented by Carli Lloyd and Nikki Krzysik and is NEW WPS UNIFORMSprobably 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.






FC GOLD PRIDE:

FC Gold Pride - NEW UNIFORMS

My very good friend Leslie Osborne and one of my favorite players from lastNEW WPS UNIFORMS - Leslie & Tina 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.






LOS ANGELES SOL:

L.A. Sol - NEW UNIFORMS

I knew it!!! I knew they were going to have the same color patern as the LANEW WPS UNIFORMS 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.






SAINT LOUIS ATHLETICA:

St. Louis Athletica - NEW UNIFORMS

Another gorgeous one. This shade of green gives the home jersey the NEW WPS UNIFORMSso-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






SKY BLUE FC:

Sky Blue FC - NEW UNIFORMS

Heather O'Reilly and Christie Rampone were the models for the Sky Blue NEW WPS UNIFORMSkits. 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.






WASHINGTON FREEDOM:

 Washington Freedom - NEW UNIFORMS

Allie Long and Sarah Huffman were the players chosen to present the NEW WPS UNIFORMSFreedom'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.

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!
