Nike Unveils New USA Home Kit In New York

Posted Friday, April 30, 2010 by Goal.com

The USA unveiled their 2010 World Cup kit in New York on Thursday.

NEW YORK- US National Team coach Bob Bradley and 1950 US National Team World Cup captain Walter Bahr were in New York on Thursday to help Nike unveil the new USA home kit at Niketown.

The kit is one of the most innovative uniforms to ever come off the production line. With each uniform made from up to eight recycled plastic bottles, the new uniform is environmentally friendly  and is also considered the most advanced kit to ever be produced.


The new USA home uniform, featuring a white jersey with a gray sash and obsidian blue trim, is also made to echo the uniform worn by the 1950 World Cup team that defeated England. The similarities, and the nod to the history of the US National team, was something Bradley was clearly happy with.

"I think that the win in 1950 is still a moment that we’re all proud of, so it’s ironic that we get the opportunity to open this World Cup with England and I think it’s special that we’ll have a uniform that is the same style with the sash and it’s something that means a lot to the team," he said.

Bradley also said that the team was impressed with the uniform as a functional tool and said that it was perfect for South Africa.

"The jersey is really light and on top of that the weather in South Africa is going to be great for the World Cup," the coach said. "It’s the winter, it means that it’s going to be cooler and with this jersey there’s also the base layers. It gives you whatever you need on the day in terms of being cool, being dry, so, in all ways the players think that the feel, the fit, the style... it’s perfect."
