Besides the fact that the sash has a place in US soccer history. The early US national team had sashes, so to say that the only people who wear sashes are beauty queens and Mayor Quimby is completely false and misguided.

I understand if sashes aren’t your thing, but they are a fairly common design motif (not just for Quimby and beauty queens). See current Juventus away:

One of Man City’s current shirts:

And every River Plate shirt home shirt:

As well as many others. Sashes have been in and out of our kits for over a half century now. Again, if you don’t like them, fine. But it’s nothing new and nothing unique. Personally, I don’t think “beauty queen” when I see the diagonal stripe any more than I think “bumble bee” when I see hoops.
