USA Football Kits
Such is the increasingly
popularity of the game in the United States, the USA soccer jerseys are now one
of the bestselling international football shirts and their sales numbers are
increasing every single year. With soccer now the most played sport and huge
investment being made in the infrastructure, it seems only a matter of time
before America are competing to win the FIFA World Cup.
Along with Mexico, USA are one of
the most dominant sides in the CONCACAF Confederation and are regular
participants at World Cup Finals. They have had a number of high profile
players over the years who have made an impact in European football such as
Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey, Carlos Bocanega, Brian McBride, DaMacus Beasley
and Michael Bradley.
The first official international
match was against neighbours Canada in 1885, however this was not considered an
official international. This took place against Sweden in Stockholm in 1916,
with USA running out 3-2 winners.
In 1994, United States were the hosts
of the World Cup. The tournament was a big success, both on-pitch and
commercially and was won by Brazil who defeated Italy on penalties in the
final. USA were also hosts of the 2016 Copa America tournament, which was won
by Chile.
USA Home & Away Shirt
The United States home jersey is
white in colour, with navy detailing and shorts and white socks. For their away
jersey, they generally opt for a navy away shirt which often features the stars
and stripes.
At the 1950 World Cup, the US
adopted a Peru style jersey with a diagonal stripe being featured across the
shirt. This design has been replicated in recent years on both the home, away
and third kits. It is a very striking design and each variation of it sold
extremely well.
