If you want the replica, go to ebay and do a search for US soccer jersey. You should find for $20, from a guy in Thailand (coolmiki). He'll charge you another 10 for shipping, but even $30 is half the price you'll find it for anywhere else. It is a great shirt!!
I bought the us jersey, and a barcelona one from him.

It's not the actual jersey that they will be wearing on the pitch - it is a replica. It looks pretty much exactly the same, though!

oh...my understanding of the term 'replica' means its just as what the team wears or their club store sells...i noticed all those jerseys on Ebay look different to each other..where i come from we call those 'imitations'...that means they were made without the makers permisssion,isnt the same material type,logos are wrong and most of the time made in china or malaysia..so i was just wondering if the jerseys are official Nike products?

I'll tell you what - if these are generic knockoffs they are incredible!
Maybe I am a bit naive - but I really think these are actual Nike's. I think "authentic" kits are those that are actually used by the players on the field and "replica" kits are those made by the same company as the "authentic", and look the same, but are made of a slightly different material - to help keep the cost down.
I know the "authentic" US jersey is actually a two piece kit.
Anyway, fake or not, the one that I have looks great. The stitching is fine, the logos are perfect. It came with Nike tags (that doesn't mean much), and I'm sure it was made in Thailand where the guy is from.
By the way, where do you think Nike makes ALL their stuff - I think it is in China, Malaysia, and Thailand - LOL!!

I just bought the US home jersey, and the Barcelona home jersey - both from that guy in Thailand. I actually like the Barcelona jersey better than the US one.
Including shipping, I paid $40 for both jerseys - not bad!
KitBag is a great site - what a selection!
Take Care,
