Pistachio is a firm supporter of the stars & stripes all the way! Whether it's curling in the Olympic games or Team USA soccer in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, we live and die with the red, white and blue. While watching Team USA's last minute heroics over Algeria today, it came to our attention the Shield embodying USA soccer (football on the rest of the planet) has a striking resemblance to the USA ski team logo. Whats more, the three stars on top of the crest have no relevance, apart from the fact that there are fifty on the nations flag. Stars are awarded to a team that has accomplished something grand in the sport, and Team USA has yet prove itself on a world stage. It would make sense to have this shield revised with something a bit more regal, like a majestic eagle perhaps or revert back to the old 'Don't tread on me' which was used last year. But then again this logo carries a heavy military connotation to it. You be the judge, but keep supporting Team USA win or lose!
