Back in December I posted “nike hates america” in response to the 2010 US World Cup kit design leaking. My thoughts caused a massive outcry. Not enough to crash servers, but certainly getting two comments from people I don’t know is pretty incredible considering the amount of traffic this site generates on a daily basis, almost exclusively from a very small group of friends and family.
In response to those comments, I preset today’s watchlist of “Things You Should Know About Me”.
- I own one of the aforementioned shirts. A #10 Landon Donovan shirt, to be specific.
- I haven’t worn my shirt yet. It’s hanging in my closet on my nicest hanger.
- Until the World Cup is over, I’m only going to wear the shirt on US matchdays. If you want to see how fly my swag is when I’m flossing that mug, then you will have to catch me on May 29, June 5, June 12, June 18 or June 23.
- I’m hopeful the US will give me a reason to wear the kit one or two more times before the tournament is over.
- I think kit looks better in person than it does on the internet or on TV.
- I think the shirt looks far better paired with navy shorts than it does with white shorts.
- I don’t understand why people wear white shorts. It’s too hard to hide your unders and too easy to get your bum dirty.
- I fully understand that the diagonal stripe is common in football kits.
- I fully understand that the 2010 US kit is patterned after the 1950 kit…the year we pulled off a massive upset against England in the World Cup.
- Sometimes I use humorous hyperbole to make a point. It’s more fun to write and read than a straight-laced article.
- Sometimes people take me too literally.
- A lot of times I’m not as funny as I think I am.
