This year is a truly special one for the U.S. Women’s National Team. First assembled in 1985, the American ladies have weathered all the ups and downs over the decades, and now, in 2025, they celebrate 40 years of greatness. Given how remarkable this milestone is, it was only natural for them to mark the occasion. And what better way to do it than by giving the team a fresh new look?
On Monday, the US Soccer officially unveiled the new kits for its both men’s and women’s national teams.

US Soccer stirs debate over new USWNT and USMNT kits
After glimpses of both the home and away kits were shared, it compelled the soccer world to voice their candid thoughts—and from the looks of it, the reactions were bittersweet, with some fans thrilled by the fresh designs, while others were quick to rant and take digs at the makeover.
“The white jersey is okay. That stripe jersey is terrible . Come on @nike you can do better.”
“Nike absolutely refuses to come up with anything original for the US NT. I wonder which major club’s 25-26 home kit they used as the template for the “heartbeat” kit, or if they just blended these 2 recent kits.”
“Ugly piece of s**t….. pass on this mindless monstrosity”
“These are lovely. We finally get two kit sets that are top-tier. 8.5/10”
“FINALLY AFTER YEARS OF MEDIOCRE KITS. USA has a fire kit, the home kit especially isn’t just a bland white kit! Now lets see if this side actually want to play football in these kits….”
