So you thought Columbus Crew SC's new jersey was bad, huh?
Well, get a load of the rumored new away kit -- complete with new badge! -- for the U.S. men's national team:
No. No, no, no, no. Nooooooo!
We're supposed to play the Copa America Centenario in these? Gulp. They look like knock-off kits you buy for $5 at the flea market.
