In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Title IX (gender equity in sports), Nike and the U.S.A. Soccer Federation teamed up to provide the American women with new gold uniforms. The ladies debuted the uniforms last week at Giants Stadium with a 2-0 win over Brazil. The women will wear the uniform for their remaining send-off series matches in the U.S. before wearing them to the World Cup later this year.

Before I begin any further I would like to applaud the U.S. women for their stunning presence. They’re beautiful, cute, and ready to kick your ass all at the same time. Star forward Abby Wambach says, “The team loves the new gear,…with the end goal to be wearing these jerseys in the Women’s World Cup final in China.”

Most of the jersey is gold as seen. But I do love how Nike created the shoulder and sleeve section of the new kit. On the left side of the jersey, the shoulder area is adorned with white, while the right side is marked in red. Both the red and white are further outlined by a blue trim that forms at the neck area. The gold Nike choose is a subtle one that doesn’t scream out at you. It is perfect for the women who have a great shot at bringing home the World Cup title this September.

I really do enjoy what Nike and the U.S. have created with this one. The gold is something different, but it represents what women in the past and the current squad have done to get to this successful point in time. The jersey can be purchased at ussoccerstore.com for a respectable price. The U.S. women deserve nothing but gold as they continue to dominate women’s soccer.
