Nike will provide the uniforms for 14 of the 24 competing nations at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France, and the sportswear giant unveiled them all during an incredible innovation event in Paris.
We got our first look at a possible USWNT 2019 World Cup away jersey back in October, and then a possible leaked version of the home shirt appeared a few days back, but now Nike has officially unveiled the uniforms that the defending world champions will be wearing in France,
USL League One begins its inaugural season on March 29 with 10 clubs vying for the championship in America’s third division. One of those clubs will be Forward Madison FC, based out of Madison, Wisconsin.
The club was founded in 2018, and the 2019 season will mark its debut as a professional team. The club will play its home matches at 5,000-seat Breese Stevens Field, and back in December, Forward Madison announced a one-year affiliation agreement with Minnesota United FC.
The 2019 USWNT World Cup jersey has leaked over at Footy Headlines, and we think it’s simplistic perfection. Obviously the knee jerk reaction to jerseys these days is to say “WHAT? A WHITE JERSEY?? DID THEY REALLY PAY SOMEONE TO DESIGN THESE?!” and to garner the Facebook likes, as though putting Mia Hamm’s head on the body of a bald eagle soaring through a pattern of stars and stripes is the only way to go about designing a cool kit.
When the U.S. women’s national team lines up to play England in the SheBelieves Cup on Saturday, you won’t see the names of Morgan, Rapinoe and Sauerbrunn on the backs of the jerseys. Not that Alex, Megan and Becky will be missing, but the USWNT jerseys vs England will be displaying something more important than the surnames of some of the best players in the world.
To honor Women’s History Month, the U.S. players will wear the names of women who have inspired them on the back of their jerseys.
For the longest time, those that weren’t particularly enamored with the Abu Dhabi Royal Family Sky Blues steamrolling their way to three EPL titles in seven years had one piece of consolation: Since the club’s last First Division title hadn’t come since 1968 and since they’d spent so long in the shadow of neighbors Manchester United, City was viewed as a team without fans (at least when compared to United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea).
I once wrote that MLS has the worst jerseys of any league in the world, and I’m not really willing to walk back on that statement.
Legendary England goalkeeper Gordon Banks, who was pivotal in bringing his country its only World Cup victory, died earlier this month at the age of 81. On Saturday, his former club Stoke City honored him with this amazing throwback Jack Butland Gordon Banks jersey.
The LA Galaxy unveiled its away jersey for the 2019 MLS season on Sunday night at an event in downtown LA, where thousands of Galaxy fans turned out to see the latest threads and Zlatan Ibrahimović.
After missing the playoffs for the second straight campaign in 2018, there’s cautious optimism for the Galaxy in 2019 with Zlatan announcing his return to go along with the appointment of former Boca Juniors boss Guillermo Barros Schelotto as manager.
