Posted: 02/24/09 8:29 am ::: WPS Uniforms Set to Be Unveiled |

...Today in Manhattan.
Quote: |
PUMA’s soccer heritage goes back decades, and the global sportlifestyle brand celebrated its 60th birthday in 2008 -- so expect the uniforms to fuse PUMA’s soccer heritage and performance technology with its fashion sense. Much like it has done with its iconic designs for the World Cup champion Italian national team and its array of African national team jerseys, PUMA’s uniforms are about more than just function. They are about having players look good and feel good at the same time, because if you feel good, you play better.
“PUMA has built up a strong momentum in women’s soccer over the past 10 years, collaborating closely with pioneering partners that have redefined the game of a global and local stage. Today, we are proud to be one of the founding partners of Women’s Professional Soccer in what promises to be a new pioneering chapter for women’s soccer,” said PUMA Chairman & CEO Jochen Zeitz in December. “The WPS partnership provides PUMA with a perfect platform to reinforce the brand’s positioning as the most desirable sportlifestyle brand in the world as well as underline our continued commitment to women’s sports.” |

My Analysis: Not bad at all. Not too dull, but not too flashy also, unlike the old WUSA uniforms.
I would've liked to have seen the Sol go all yellow on the away jerseys. Who knows, maybe that might happen as a third kit, but we'll see. All I know is that the Chicago's jerseys are the best of all of them.
Gotta do away with the skirts though.
Enjoy

I like Chicago's!
I loathe the skirts. Are those normal?

Skirts/skorts=DO NOT WANT. That thud you heard was the league's credibility coming way the hell down from where it'd been before.

Agree, skirts are EVIL...its patronizing and dated. Boo to WPS for that

Heh. They've so rushed that little article out because of hundreds of people responding just like everyone in this thread. Stupid mistake letting people think they'd be playing in them in the first place.

...oh dear god. Somebody shoot everybody at Puma already. |
Unless you're auctioning it off to Komen or the Kay Yow fund there's no excuse for pink unis.

Jorge Campos was a riot. So was Higuita. I think the head gear is now his TM. But I disagree on the best keeper in the world part.
I thought the unis were cute, but rather dull.

WPS gears up with new unis
Quote: |
"The uniforms stay true to the heritage of the game," said WPS commissioner Tonya Antonucci, but feature bold colors and new technologies such as moisture-wicking fabric.
And one more distinction: "The uniforms will have a cut more tailored to a woman's body." |
