Gradient-Striped Soccer Kits

The New USA Soccer Kit Accentuates Players' Speed

— February 23, 2015 — Lifestyle
The new away version of the USA soccer kit, designed by Nike, does a great job projecting the players' immense sense of national pride using a stylish gradient design. The kit will be worn for the first time by the women's team during the Algarve Cup in Portugal from March 4 to March 11. The kit features two prominent white stars above the badge, symbolizing the two World Cups the USA women have won.

The away jersey has a fabulous contemporary style featuring a brilliant gradient graphic that starts in white at the shoulders before gradually blending -- via a series of sleek light rays -- to a deep blue at the helm. When players are in motion, the stripe moves to accentuate body contours and increase the perception of their speed.

This particular feature of the new USA soccer kit is pretty impressive as it is incredibly stylish and modern, and is sure to tempt many USA soccer fans into buying the kit to support their idols on the field.
