Nike reveals new bold USWNT kits for 40th anniversary

In celebration of 40 years of dominance and inspiration, Nike has unveiled its boldest designs yet for the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT). Far from your standard issue, these new kits are head-turners that reimagine American soccer swagger.

The primary kit is a daring twist on tradition. Gone is the plain white. Nike opted for a denim-inspired blue star design that pays homage to the iconic 1994 men’s World Cup jerseys. But don’t expect the same cheesy retro vibe. The USWNT’s version is sharper, more modern, and undeniably cool. Navy and blue trim wrap around the neck and sleeves, blending seamlessly with the crest and Nike badge. The result is a jersey that screams America with style, not nostalgia.

But the real showstopper is the secondary kit. Nike went full throttle with an obsidian design, let’s just call it black, that is nothing short of stunning. Thin red and blue stripes streak down the jersey, adding just enough flair to make it pop without going overboard. The accents are perfectly spaced, creating a clean, minimalist look that somehow still feels bold. The red trim along the neck and sleeves ties it all together, giving the shirt a crisp, polished finish. It’s the kind of kit you can wear to the game, to the bar, or even for a night out and still look sharp.

What makes these two designs even more compelling is how they complement each other. The primary is loud, proud, and brimming with American spirit. The secondary is sleek, modern, and effortlessly cool. Together, they represent the duality of USWNT’s legacy: fearless on the pitch and stylish off it.

Nike didn’t stop with just good looks. The fabric itself is textured for depth and durability, designed to perform just as well as it looks. Even the tag design is a nod to US Soccer’s history, featuring the federation’s motto: “One nation, one team.” It’s a throwback that still feels fresh.

Though fans won’t get to see these masterpieces in a major tournament, the kits will debut during a series of friendlies leading up to the 2027 World Cup, kicking off with a clash against China on May 31. But let’s be real, these designs are going to fly off the shelves long before that.

Nike didn’t just create jerseys; they crafted statements. This 40th-anniversary collection is a testament to the USWNT’s dominance and style. Bold, unapologetic, and dripping with swagger, these kits aren’t just for the field; they’re for the culture.
