I like the Gold Pride, Breakers, Sol, and Athletica kit colors. I don't like the skirt effect on any of the kits, I could say a lot more on this but I will bite my tongue.
Chevy, I agree on the skirts, but didnt want to be the first to say it. I would love to know what the thought behind those are, because if I had to wear it I would be mad. I dont know, anyone who can expand on why skirt or wraps as they are calling them, are included in the uniform please do tell......
It looks like your classic skort. I've worn them for tennis and golf and they're comfortable enough, but then, you're not trying to do thigh traps. It's interesting that some teams chose them, some didn't. I agree, it's a curious choice for soccer. What, ponytails aren't enough to reinforce the femininity of the players? I'd be curious to learn how the players feel about them.
The skirts are horrible! What a stupid, stupid idea. They're soccer players; they're athletes. Women's soccer doesn't get enough respect as it is, but now they're going to wear skirts!? It's insulting, in my opinion.
Overall, the uniforms are boring and unoriginal. But, I'm not a fan based on their outfits, so I don't really care about that.

I think the skirt is stupid. It reminds me of the movie, "A League of Their Own," when the players had to wear real skirts instead of pants. I think the to uniforms have the same theme, they basically look the same. Its like they just changed the colors and the logo. However, being the Sol fan that I'm I really like the Sol's away uniform.
I'm just bummed everything is so...plain. No alternate sleeve colors or hoops or vertical stripes...it's just a bit too "boring" for me, I suppose. Large solid colors are just kinda blah.
St. Louis would have benefited from a green and blue stripe look or something similar to Barcelona's kit, but that's just me.
Damn, could these uniforms suck any more... what a joke those skirt/shorts are HORRIBLE... Oh, AN Bright orange is never a good color on anything other than a clown or for an elementary school class trip
I can hear all the jokes now.... way to try to be taken seriously
"They're girls, of course they have to wear skirts to play....."
