Part of the backlash to the kits stems from the U.S. teams’ having worn some pretty memorable ones on soccer’s biggest stages, even if there isn’t a signature look a la France‘s Maillots Bleus, Argentina‘s Albiceleste or Brazil‘s Canarinho.
But for whatever reason (the minimal look is still in, concern of the men not qualifying again, or maybe a really sharp fit is under wraps until the 2026 tournament?), this year’s version falls far short of anything collectible-worthy.
Nonetheless, that doesn’t stop us from at least reminiscing and stepping into the way-back machine (or at least to 1991) to rank the best U.S. kits ever donned.
