Happy b-day to the USMNT's beloved abomination: The Denim Kit™. It debuted 30 years ago this week, in a friendly against Bolivia. Celebrate by reading my exhaustive history of the shirt, easily the most iconic piece of design in US soccer history: theathletic.com/3923994/2022/1…

From that piece — the US' new jerseys just look tie-dyed to me. That idea was floated during the design of the denim kit. Every player I talked to said they'd have refused to play in a tie-dye kit. Chef's kiss.
@MLSist All these years later and I still have my Dooley jersey. Ugly as sin but I love it!
@MLSist @MattDoyle76 Hated that kit at the time and still do.
@MLSist I was at that game , still in my little league baseball uniform.
