There will be no mistaking the U.S. men\u2019s national team in June, when it takes the field, on home soil, for the World Cup<\/a>. U.S. Soccer and Nike on Monday revealed the team\u2019s uniforms, which include two designs: a red-and-white \u201cstripes\u201d kit and a dark blue \u201cstars\u201d kit.
The uniforms were unveiled on NBC’s “TODAY” show as the hosts were joined by U.S. goalkeeper Matt Freese, who said it would be an “incredible opportunity, an incredible moment” if he were to be selected for the final roster.
“People say ‘dream come true,’ and obviously that’s a clich\u00e9,” Freese said. “But when I was dreaming about this moment 20, 25 years ago, we didn’t know [the World Cup] would be in America. And so, it’s even better than a dream come true.”
The \u201cstripes\u201d kit is louder, with thick red and white lines waving across the chest, looking almost like a flag moving in the wind. The \u201cstars\u201d kit is more subtle, colored dark blue with red trim and the shadow of stars sprinkled throughout. Both uniforms have a \u201cUSA\u201d logo emblazoned on the chest.
\u201cI think between both kits there is something for everybody,\u201d Ronnie J. Stewart, global product director for Nike, said in a news release. \u201cIf you want to be loud and proud and represent the crest, no one\u2019s going to doubt who you\u2019re there for in the light kit. If you\u2019re looking for that lifestyle look that works off the field, the dark is for you.\u201d
The players had a lot of say in the uniforms’ design, from the fit, breathability and fabric weight down to the smallest details like the placement of a seam.
But these uniforms aren\u2019t just for the USMNT. For the first time, all U.S. Soccer national teams will wear this same design, everyone from the senior teams to the youth teams, giving all of U.S. Soccer a unifying identity.
The men’s national team will debut these jerseys later this month, when it plays an exhibition against Belgium. Team USA plays its first World Cup match against Paraguay on June 12 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
