US Soccer unveils new National Team kits, including a new USWNT-specific home kit

US Soccer has two exciting new National Team kits that will be worn for the first time in the coming months, and one of them is specifically for the USWNT. The Nike kits were developed in collaboration with USWNT players Lynn Biyendolo, Naomi Girma, and Sophia Wilson and USMNT players Kellyn Acosta, DeAndre Yedlin and Walker Zimmerman.

The new light kit, called “Brilliant,” will be worn only by the USWNT, and was designed as a tribute to the history of the women’s national team. It features a white background of stars with red and blue details.

“This collection represents Nike’s deep commitment to women’s soccer as an undeniable force that continues to elevate the game globally,” said Maggie Gauger, Vice President/GM, Nike North America Women’s Business. “The refreshed designs honor the brilliance of the U.S. Women’s National Team — celebrating 40 years of legacy, resilience, and groundbreaking achievements both on and off the pitch.”

“To me, the kits represent the USWNT mentality of always pushing forward,” said USWNT player Lynn Biyendolo. “I know I can speak for my teammates when I say that every time we put on the uniform, it brings a great sense of pride. When we represent our country, our team and ourselves, we know we are doing so while standing on the shoulders of giants. The Brilliant Kit is just another way to honor our past and the women who played before us.”

The second kit, a dark kit called “Heartbeat,” will be worn by both the USWNT and USMNT. It features vertical red and blue stripes on a dark background. According to a press release, the kit is dedicated to fans and features a “heritage-meets-streetstyle aesthetic.”

“As the game evolves, the style evolves,” said USMNT player Mark McKenzie. “There’s a modern edge to this (Heartbeat) kit, a sleekness that catches the eye. But it doesn’t lose sight of what this crest stands for, the history etched in the red, white, and blue threads. The kit pays tribute to our fans and the importance of their connection to the team. It’s a reminder of who we play for and what we represent every single time we step onto that field. Not much more you can ask for!”

The Brilliant kit will be debuted by the USWNT on May 31st in Saint Paul when they play China PR.

The Heartbeat kit will be worn by the USMNT on June 7th at their game in East Hartford, Connecticut against Turkey. The USMNT will continue to wear their current home kits.
