This is the (chronologically compiled) history of US Soccercheap chelsea jerseys  jerseys (as best as I can figure out given the limited resources online). Some are historical pictures, some are recently created throwbacks, some may even be just flat out wrong (- my apologies in advance). The editions worn in a World Cup are noted.
This seems to be a picture of an early US "All-America" team on a tour of Norway and Sweden in 1916. It could be the trip in which US Soccer played its first international match, in Stockholm vs Sweden. (We won 3-2.) The US shield crest appears very large and centered on the chest. The v-neck collar is clearly a darker color, as are the socks. If this is the first official US jersey, I'll give it a 5 out of 10 for being first.
This is a picture of the US team who participated in the first ever World Cup in 1930. Just like the 1916 version, its a simple, white long-sleeve v-neck with a US flag themed shield centered on the chest. The shield, having been reduced in size since 1916, is the founding father to our current crest, which showed up in 1995. No matter what changes will occur to the crest in the future, I hope we never lose the shield look. This shield has no letters on it, letting the stars and stripes do all the talking. Unfortunately, without the shield, this jersey could pass for underwear. 4 out of 10.
Who knows if this is actually the shade of blue we wore back in '34? But I would have preferred a darker, navy blue. The crest is also a little too wide and round for my tastes, as if it couldn't decide if it wanted to be a circle or not. 3 out of 10

This design is the next evolutionary step to the '30s look and has become instant legend after the 1-0 upset of England.. They added USA letters to the improved shape of the crest and added the famous diagonal red stripe, of which they are continuing to base throwback variations to this day. Retro throwback special release jerseys with sashes had been released 3 times, I believe, mostly to a rousing response, cheap soccer jerseys but none were the actual jersey that is worn for a 2 year cycle until the 2010/11 World Cup release. 9 out of 10.
A Pan America USA crest was used for the 1959 Pan America Games, where the US won the bronze medal, only behind Argentina and Brazil. Another addition was the strange lace-up collar, which is essentially a feminine look nowadays. Lastly, the diagonal stripe turned into a 2 stripe design, which I actually prefer over the wide sash of the 2010 editions. But it can't make up for the crest and lace. 3 out of 10.
Worn at the '72 Olympics, this appears to be a modified v-neck jersey, paired with red shorts. The crest itself is hard to make out, but it may be a shield with perhaps "USA" lettering. 2 out of 10.
Worn in a 1974 game vs Mexico, it drops a crest and goes with awful USA lettering. And without that awful lettering, this could pass as USSR. A forgettable effort during the dark ages of US Soccer. 1 out of 10.
I have no idea if only our youth team wore this style, but since it was worn in international competition (shown here vs Poland), you'd think Adidas would have outfitted our men's team in it as well. Either way, its worth a look. This kit is quite the departure from our ugly 70's template. This design is the first modern design I've come across in US history. It could actually still be used today. 6 out of 10.
