With the US Women participating in the Algarve Cup and then the Women’s World Cup later this year, and the men set for a high-profile friendly against Switzerland in March, Nike has unveiled a new away kit for both squads, designed to celebrate the USA’s patriotic pride and singular sense of style, as well as a continuing optimism for on-pitch greatness.
Contemporary in design, the entire new US Soccer away jersey boasts a gradient graphic, evoking a sense of movement and speed. The gradient shift starts white in the shoulders, before transitioning to light rays through the body and deep blue near the hem.
Solid white stripes anchor the look under each arm, meanwhile, running from arm to hem for a swath of bright contrast that accentuates the contours of the body and punctuates speed.
To round out the national palette, as well as deliver a pop of colorful contrast, a new V-neck collar boasts a bold red insert, sharply juxtaposing much of the new US Soccer away kit while tying in with the national crest at left-breast.
Rounding out the kit, the new away shorts are dark blue with a white stripe running up each side, while the socks vary per team. The women will wear a gradient sock that matches their jersey, while the men will wear solid dark blue.
