U.S. Soccer and Nike on Monday released the jerseys and full kits that the U.S. men’s national team will wear at the 2026 World Cup.

The home kit evokes the American flag, with wavy red-and-white stripes running horizontally across the jersey.

The away kit — which multiple players have said is their favorite — is a dark “obsidian” color with metallic stars.

The stars are hardly visible from afar but more noticeable up close, and reflective from certain angles. “You see it on the pitch, and then you see it close up, it’s [almost] two different kits,” Maribeth Towers, U.S. Soccer’s VP of consumer products, told The Athletic.

Both kits are the product of extensive discussions, including with USMNT players, who mostly disliked their 2022 World Cup kits and pushed U.S. Soccer and Nike for more involvement in the 2026 process.

I’m thinking it’s dark nary blue as you want some resemblance of the nation’s colors. But really can’t tell. The description doesn’t state the color either:

dark “obsidian” color with metallic stars.
