When Nike revealed the uniforms last week for the United States men's and women's national teams for the upcoming World Cup tournaments, responses ranged from muted to borderline mutiny.
To recap: The home kit for Qatar 2022 is a plain white shirt with some neckline and sleeve accents, while the away counterpart is an abstract and muddled mix of two blue tones. You're not missing much.
Part of the backlash to the kits stems from the U.S. teams' having worn some pretty memorable ones on soccer's biggest stages, even if there isn't a signature look a la France's Maillots Bleus, Argentina's Albiceleste or Brazil's Canarinho.
