Daily News | Nike, U.S. Soccer completely missed the net in its latest release of World Cup kits
Coincidentally, it was the first time the Federation went with a bold approach in advance of the 1994 FIFA World Cup hosted here in the United States, debuting two different kits: a classy red and white vertical striped top and a bold denim top that to this day fans either love or hate — but it is forever cemented in lore.
I’m not alone in this love affair, judging from the waiting lists I’ve had to jump on because I mistimed a release of a kit or hit a sold-out wall on my favorite apparel sites. I’ve debated past kits with other supporters. As someone who keeps a close eye on the team, it’s just something that’s always been fun to do.
Two jerseys, equally bad in their design, make me weirdly embarrassed for a men’s national team that scratched and clawed back to a berth after missing the last World Cup finals tournament. It’s similarly cringey to imagine the defending champion USWNT having to wear these outfits next year.
