For the first time, U.S. Soccer will self-reference as the “States” with their 2020/21 jerseys. From the outer pride element on the back of the new USA away jersey (and the back of the socks) to the chest of the anthem jacket and the back of the training tops, “States” will be prominently featured.
The refined USA 2020/21 home kit is white, elevated by details. A blue collar transitions to flag-inspired red-and-white stripes on the back of the neck.
The side stripe design pulls from the lab data on how the side appearance of the jersey is altered by a powerful kicking motion.
While the stripe looks jagged when standing still, it aligns with a full swing of the leg. Nike’s Futura logo appears on the left chest and on the socks; the US is the only federation that will receive this version of the Nike logo on their 2020/21 kits.
The United States 2020/21 Nike away soccer shirt is a deep obsidian with pops of brighter blue and red accents. The abstract pattern on the jersey was hand drawn by Nike’s design team and pulls from the infiltration of camo-esque elements in high fashion.
In response to player feedback about the importance of a substantive crest, this and all 2020 federation crests will return to their tactile origins with raised embroidery for more dimension and shine (the crest and Futura logo will not appear on the kits worn in Tokyo, per guidelines).
U.S. Soccer’s full collection is loaded with nods to the country’s love of multiple sports and the curation of cool. As with the performance items, “States” will be prominently featured on the sportswear pieces.
The USA 2020/21 Nike home and away kits and range will be on sale at World Soccer Shop, Lovell Soccer, Pro:Direct Soccer, UK Soccer Shop and Kitbag.
