The game’s apparel for all Nike-sponsored national federations use a seamless knit, refined through 4D modeling. This offers ventilation and reinforcement and features the brand’s Dri-Fit ADV technology. Notably, in efforts to go green, the Swoosh took an eco-friendly route, producing more than 75% of the collection with 100% recycled polyester.

Using a blue-ice dye approach, Nike said the Americans’ away jerseys “celebrate diversity, youth, and unity” and draw inspiration from “design techniques found throughout the American fashion and streetwear industry.” Other honorable mentions include Brazil’s jaguar-influenced details, Portugal’s red and green diagonal look and Croatia’s upgraded checkerboard concept.
