The new U.S. 2010 Nike jerseys on eBay
Quick note: We received word from reader Patrick that one of the new US shirts–the ones we discussed here–was recently put up for sale on eBay. The reaction has been surprisingly negative, if our comments section is any indication. But love ‘em or hate ‘em, it’s looking more and more like they’re the real deal, [...]
