In 1995, the USMNT shocked the world by defeating Argentina 3-0 in the Copa America. 31 years later, Christian Pulisic and Co. could face Argentina again in the US-hosted Copa America stage in June. Speaking of Argentina, fans have a fair idea of what special kits Lionel Messi and his teammates will be wearing at the Copa America 2024. If Argentina’s kits have been leaked, can the USMNT be far behind? Nike’s home and away kits for the USMNT have unofficially dropped. Furthermore, there is a stunning tribute to the American flag in these new 2024 USMNT kits.

Traditionally, the USMNT’s white home kit is known for its subtlety. The blue away kit, on the other hand, is famous for its elaborate graphic design. The newly leaked 2024 kits are no outlier in that aspect.

Footy Headlines has now leaked USMNT’s Nike home kits for 2024. It is a breakaway from the 2023 kit. Firstly, the ‘USA’ crest is emblazoned on the t-shirt’s left side. In a tribute to the American flag, the collar of these jerseys showcases red and white stripes adjacent to a solid blue pattern. The sleeve cuffs of the home kit are also reminiscent of the US flag with white and red stripes. Meanwhile, Nike’s iconic swish logo comes in at its usual place. Now, it’s time for the away kit.

Similar to the white home kit, the away one also features the USA crest on the left side. Nike has kept the blue kit subtle for the most part. The collar and the sleeve cuffs are solid blue. However, the bottom of the jersey comes with a white and red zig-zag pattern, suggestive of the US flag’s colors. Nike’s swoosh comes in white, placed perfectly against the dark blue backdrop. Since the USA hosts the Copa America, its National Team will aim for nothing but a deep run in the tournament. And Gregg Berlhalter’s team is preparing for the same.
