U.S. Soccer unveils revamped crest after more than 20 years

The U.S. Soccer Federation has a new logo for the first time in more than 20 years.

U.S. Soccer used a social media campaign on Monday to reveal its revamped crest, which was designed in conjunction with chief sponsor Nike.

The new badge replaces the dated and oft-maligned shield that had adorned national team kits since 1995. That emblem, which bizarrely featured blue stripes and white stars on a red background -- the opposite of the American flag -- had adorned players' jerseys since Nike replaced Adidas as the federation's uniform supplier in 1995.

The revamped insignia, with red vertical stripes and a blue "USA" word mark at the top, looks more like Old Glory.
