A couple of weeks after unveiling their new crest, US Soccer has revealed new uniforms for the US men’s and women’s national teams.
One features a black shirt with red and blue sleeves, and a second features a mostly white jersey with blue sleeves. The white kit will serve as the US’s home uniform, while the black uniform will be worn on the road.
The men’s national team will debut the uniforms on March 25 in their World Cup qualifier at Guatemala, while the women will first wear the new kit against Colombia on April 6.
Apart from differences in the cuts of the uniforms and the three stars for the women’s three World Cup titles, the men’s and women’s kits are exactly the same.
The phrase “We Can, We Will, We Are, One Nation, One Team” is printed on the inside of the shirt, right behind the crest and right next to the players’ hearts. Additionally, “USA” is knit into the back neck collar and “1 Nation” and “1 Team” are stitched into the cuffs.
The shorts and socks are also new. According to SI.com, the shorts are now made from the same material as the jersey top and have a new waistband with no drawstring. The sock features a sleeve that adds protection and should better keep players’ shin guards in place.
