This year women's division of FIFA will be held in France and sports giant Nike just revealed the World Cup 2019 kits for 14 national teams. This includes the jerseys for teams from the United States, Canada, France, China, Australia, Sout Korea, Brazil, Nigeria, Norway, New Zeland, Chili, South Africa, and the Netherlands.
The World Cup 2019 kits are characterized by a sporty, performance-ready construction that is also aesthetically pleasing and one that reflects the colors of each national team. This year marks a rather important one for Nike who has been outfitting the FIFA women's teams since 1995. The 2019 World cup event will mark the first time that Nike didn't use "derivations of the uniforms made for men" as a starting point for the female silhouettes.
