By Zoe Szathmary The new away jersey for the United States men's and women's national soccer teams has been revealed in advance of the World Cup -- and fans are in an uproar. Designed by Nike, the jersey features three different-colored bands, starting at the top with blue, white, and red to represent the American flag, according to a company press release. The away kit also includes red shorts and red socks. However, fans have taken to Twitter to express their disapproval -- and many are comparing the new jerseys to the French flag, as well as those of the Netherlands and Russia.
