Put in my retweet for #2. Agree that 1 and 4 are too similar to previous designs. However, I'm not a big fan of the Z which is too prevalent on #3 (and 1). I'll be happy with any of them, though.

I don't know why it wasn't mentioned in the GoZips.com article, but every bit as important as the scoring was GK Nick Costa's save of a Slippery Rock PK attempt in the second half which contributed to 2 clean sheets on the day. Great job Zips!

Chance to see Michael Nanchoff and Zac Portillos

"That's something I aspire to do." While he hopes for more national team looks now that his time as a youth international is over, Trapp acknowledged he had not given a whole lot of thought toward this summer’s Copa America Centenario, as he expected to be in Brazil instead. Trapp, however, believes it's on him to show he deserves that spot. "Most of the mental exasperation has been with the Under-23s, focusing on that campaign," he said. "Now that it's over, it would be wonderful for Jurgen to call me in, but you don't get that opportunity unless you're performing well with your club. So the biggest focus for me right now is in Columbus — to get started in a smart, right way to get extra points on the board."

In case anyone is interested, Tuesday vs Guatemala in Columbus was DeAndre Yedlin's 31st cap for the USMNT. His first cap...February 2014.

Thanks for posting. I give Marla and the Beacon kudos for the coverage but wish they had gone a little further and actually wrote about DeAndre's performance in the game. He played a very good game both going forward and defending. I'm very proud of that young man and happy for him and his family. Nothing in sports gets me more emotional than supporting Team USA, and having a friend playing for them notches those emotions up even more. I hope DeAndre continues to up his game and wish him the best in all that he does.

U.S. Debate: The DeAndre Yedlin dilemma After Friday's game in Guatemala City, Klinsmann will have to decide whether to keep Yedlin and John Brooks with the senior team or have them join the U-23s, who will face Colombia on their second game the same day as the national team hosts Guatemala in Columbus. That decision, Klinsmann said, will come after the results of the first legs are known and he consults with his coaching staff. "Anything is possible," he said, "to be honest."

Great selfie... (I put this is the wrong thread originally and can't delete there. Better twice than not at all.)
