Get The Gear: Nike Rolls Out USWNT Kits Ahead Of Rio Games

As the 2016 Summer Olympics approaches, fans, patriots, parents and kids are all salivating at the prospect of new Team USA swag.

The wait is over.

Nike has unveiled both the U.S. Women’s National Team Kits and track suits that will be worn by medal winners atop the podium in Rio next month.

The defending World Cup Champion Women’s National Soccer Team will be sporting a slightly new look when the world’s No.1 ranked team hits the shores of Rio in August.

There is a familiar feel to the home jerseys which feature the classic white base, accented a shield with “USA” printed in a deep navy, with red stripes running vertically beneath.

The new addition to the home whites are a sky blue feature that runs across the top of the shoulder blades and cover both sleeves, complemented nicely by a red stripe that runs up both sides of the jersey and wraps around the neck.

Nike’s DRI-FIT technology, along with an airy, v-neck design make the jersey suitable for the sweaty conditions in South America.

To complement the home whites, Nike has drawn up a new road uniform for Team USA, featuring a black base with one sky blue and one red sleeve. The away jersey offers the same look and feel of the home whites but with a little more flair, highlighted by the interlocking blue and red atop the rear of the jersey.

Although Nike has not put them on sale yet, the track suits that Team USA members will be wearing on the podium have already created a buzz for their sleek, angular look that will keep you looking fresh whether you made the medal round or not.
