Does This Make Me Look Fat?

To follow up my long ago post about the upcoming US National Team jerseys for the 2006 World Cup. The new Nike catalogs are out and there might be some clues that clear up what we mentioned. The pics here are from this catalog.

In the catalog is a kit called, "US Mercurial Jersey". As earlier noted it features a vertical stripe down the left chest and the stripe continues down onto the shorts. While not specifically in these pics, the US jersey will be white and have a red and blue vertical stripe. I have heard that Nike talked about continuing the stripe down onto left leg sock, but I am not clear if that will in fact happen.

It also appears that Nike is looking for a date for an unveiling. One of the two games in February on US soil are the likely dates for the unvieling.
