Every once in a while, it's fun to take a break from pretending to be a soccer expert, and instead pretend to be a style expert. Ever since coming on board as a major sponsor of the CSA, Umbro Canada has given us a number of those moments.
This time out, it's the special centennial kit, to be sported by our men's national team in a friendly against the U.S. on June 3, and the women's national team when they take on the Yanks on June 30. The design is meant to mimic the jerseys worn by the men's national team the first time they ever played the Americans on Canadian soil, a 1-0 victory at Alexandra Park in Montreal on June 27, 1925.
Now, in 2012, Les Rouges (err, Les Bleus) and Big Red (uh, Big Blue) will take on the red, white and blue while wearing red, white and blue. So, the question is, what do you think?

Yep, that's the extent of it. Do you like the blue? Do you like the look? How does it rank against Umbro's other Canada kits? What's Simeon Jackson looking at in the photo? Et cetera.
