Nike have scratched a big kit enthusiast itch with their home kit for Mauricio Pochettino's USMNT, drawing more than a little inspiration from a popular design worn the last time World Cup finals matches were played in the USA.
U.S. Soccer just dropped its new USMNT team kits this week ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and they're instant classics. If you expected the usual home whites and away reds or blues, hold on. This time around they went for it. We are given two kits, two distinct personalities, and a design process that actually involved the players who'll be wearing them.
Aliaksei not only saw his younger brother score a goal, but he also publicly debuted his newest lid, a bold navy-blue hat featuring a patch with a realistic design of an eagle along with his nickname, 'Pro.' The design plays off the Capitals' Screaming Eagle logo, which is becoming a more prominent part of the team's branding by the day.
With the U.S. Denim jersey, we set out to capture the side of American soccer that has always been distinctive and original. This design leans into that spirit with bold graphics, fearless color and a belief that the game here should look and feel like it belongs to the people.
At that point, [the Islanders] viewed themselves as kind of a failed franchise that had not won a Stanley Cup in a decade and was coming down from this period of great success, said Nick Hirshon, the author of We Want Fish Sticks, which chronicles the Islanders' controversial rebranding, and a journalism professor at William Paterson University. And now the Rangers just won the Stanley Cup in that market, the Devils were on the up, and up, so maybe the Islanders could not afford a brand new arena or new players, but they could make some money by unveiling a new jersey.
The Packers' online store currently sells 94 different products riffing on the "Cheeseheads" nickname. If you see an NFL fan wearing cheese on their head, you can tell immediately that they're a Green Bay fan. And with that in mind, some enterprising Bears fans sought a way to respond - and found it in an even more ridiculous piece of attire.
With the Winter Olympics mere weeks away - this year's games, hosted in the Milano-Cortina region of Italy, are slated to kick off Feb. 6 - sponsors have begun to release their apparel capsules in earnest, and, as with every Olympics, there have been standouts among both the performance and lifestyle categories. EA7's Team Italia collection, for instance, was one of the surprise successes of Milan Fashion Week, while Mongolia's uniforms, designed by Goyol Cashmere, have been a viral sensation.
LeBron James, whom Ovechkin first met in 2009, played in what could be his final game in DC and made sure to dap up The Great 8 during the Lakers' 142-111 blowout victory. Monumental Sports Network reporter Ethan Cadeaux caught the brief interaction between two of the greatest athletes of all time. Ovechkin and James then met up postgame, where they exchanged autographed jerseys.
Two great Bay Area institutions the San Jose Earthquakes and the Grateful Dead are teaming up for something that should appeal equally to soccer aficionados and classic rock fans.

Conference championship Sunday in the NFL is coming up, and the final four teams will be playing in style. Editor's Picks The first matchup pits the New England Patriots against the Denver Broncos in a rematch of the 2015 AFC Championship Game.

Snow may not be in the forecast for Santa Clara on Feb. 8. But the Patriots sideline in Super Bowl LX will be looking like a White Out football game, given the team's choice of uniforms. Despite being listed as the home team for Super Bowl LX, the Patriots will wear their all-white away uniforms against the Seahawks at Levi's Stadium. Seattle, the designated away team, will likely wear their navy home jerseys.
