Are you kidding?!
The new USA jerseys are awesome.
These are terrible. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thudown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thudown:' />

The Dream Team jersey is symbolic of a nostalgic era in which the US was in the middle of a phenomenal generation of talent and more importantly pro players had not previously been allowed to play in the Olympics so the excitement surrounding the team was unparalleled.
Every US player that wears the national jersey should be playing to protect the legacy of US basketball that was established by the Dream Team. Unfortunately, the new generation is out to prove that they are better than the Dream Team. Until they realize that it is not about them vs. the Dream team and start focusing on the opposition in the here-and-now, Team USA is vulnerable.
In any event, I think that the new jerseys make them look like they should be playing in the D-League rather than playing for an Olympic medal.
