Digby Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 That's too bad, but guessing even their contacts at Nike didn't expect this qualifying run and they haven't had the preparation the "star" Nike teams have had. (See also how they basically got zero merch when the women's team won the Olympics, despite Nike allegedly being all-in on women's soccer...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia had the same issue when they released the latest away kits. the FA was like, "We didn't expect more women to buy jerseys". Has Canadian soccer jerseys sold at all prior to this group? Regardless, it's not a good look. Even just throwing them in a 2022-2023 teamwear kit should have been a possibility rather than keeping the current uniforms. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/sep/23/ffa-to-make-womens-cut-available-after-matildas-kit-release-mistake https://www.sportico.com/business/commerce/2020/nike-australian-womens-national-team-kit-unavailable-female-fans-1234613427/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazerBlaze Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 If I were head of Nike Soccer, I'd have the new USA jerseys ready with QUALIFIED 22 on the back for the post game celebration once USA clinches the spot. Would be hard to beat that kind of unveil and attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the USA is still not technically in and they would be revealing a new template, I understand the big companies putting things like this off until you've confirmed your in. Remember all of the supposed leaks before that game in Trinidad and Tobago? Nike wouldn't want to take the risk of flying that stuff down and then having to ship it back to be thrown away. 20 minutes ago, officeglenn said: Adidas unveiled the match ball for the World Cup today — "inspired by culture, architecture, iconic boats and flag of Qatar": More details at the mothership.

upperV03 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Mexico will finally look like Mexico again: The away kit will be cream/burgundy/dark green: These kits will of course be the first their new badge, and you can see the new Adidas logo on the new kit as well. The images of the home kit also provide further confirmation that the World Cup kits will serve as the debut of the new Adidas template that Bayern Munich was spotted testing in training last year: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Matt Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 México is going to look gorgeous. That new crest looks sharp, but it’ll nice to see México back in their rightful colors. 1 Quote Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenaciousG Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Will the US get new unis for the World Cup? I hate how boring Nike makes us look. We should own vertical red and white stripes with blue shorts, and then Nike can go wild with the change kit in whatever color du jour they want to force on the kids.

Yes, Nike should be releasing new uniforms by the end of May. I wouldn't expect them to be too exciting since Nike will be using a brand new template. https://www.footyheadlines.com/2021/06/revolutionary-nike-2022-world-cup-kit.html Supposedly the USA may have the swoosh on the sleeves instead of the front of the jersey. PSG has that as their third kit jerseys this year. So something like this with a different collar. and upper chest section. This is the new neckline for the training jerseys and some of the gameday jerseys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 The swoosh on the sleeves for USMNT is going to look weird, especially with the World Cup patch and captain’s armband taking up sleeve space. If they’re going to get experimental with swoosh placement, I’d rather it be on the shoulders (but closer to the very top of the arm than the neck). I feel like it’d get the same idea across but with more breathing room. EDIT: Kind of like how Puma does it, but I think they could get away with the swoosh being a bit larger, especially if it isn’t on the chest anywhere: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Keep the manufacturer's logo on the right chest where it belongs. The best kits in the world are the ones that have one manufacturer's logo on it, in that spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Apart from that PSG kit not looking like PSG, I don't mind that placement. My worry is that the USMNT WC kit will tempt Nike to do something that's full American-football in aesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's already rumored to be a variation on sky blue, so they're already going outside the normal color pallet. It's something close to this, which would be a nice look, but it doesn't look like a normal United States gameday choice. Sweden's 2022 Euros kits have been released. Pretty plain in my opinion. According to the article, all adidas teams will have the adidas logo in the center. New Serbia badge, will be on the World Cup kits as well.

Someone comment on that badge and say it looked more like a graffiti than a proper football one. I say the updated Cyrillic font and the edition of a stylised double-headed eagle is a huge plus over a decently simple one from the previous World Cups. One of the few new badges where it got more detailed than before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a pair of secondary socks in case they play a team in all red and have to change socks. Red is still the primary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
