Wow, that's even uglier than I expected. And it's really baggy. It looks more like a hoodie than a keeper jersey.
Maybe it'll prevent teams from scoring on us because they won't be able to look at goal. Just kidding I kinda missed crazy goalie jerseys like this.
It will be our secret weapon if matches go to penalties. It will blind most of the opponents trying to shoot.
that will absolutely not be the gk kit, way too many/too bold colors. thats streetwear. the design is technically the nike gk template, but we will have a very muted version, two colors tops, sublimated detail.
Drippin or Trippin Hollywood Goalkeeper Lifestyle JerseY #USMNT pic.twitter.com/t88eOGhiBj— herculez gomez (@herculezg) December 8, 2025 Herc Gomez is calling it a "lifestyle jersey" so it doesn't appear like it will be worn on the field by the USMNT keepers.
All we have is this rumor from back in June that claims the home kit will be off-white, though the digital swatch says it's the away kit. https://www.footyheadlines.com/2025/06/usa-2026-home-kit.html It seems that other Nike teams have had their designs leaked, notably Canada, Croatia, England, Turkïye, and Brazil's away shirt. Hopefully they're keeping ours close to the vest because they want everybody to be shocked and amazed when they drop a popular design like a Waldo. Or conversely, they don't want it to leak because it's bad and they're afraid of the negative publicity like what happened in '22. Hopefully it's the former and not the latter.
It's for the men too. Sorry I should have included the leak as well https://www.footyheadlines.com/2025/06/usa-2026-home-kit.html
The USWNT typically wears the MNT's kits during men's World Cup years, then they get their own separate kits for the following year's WWC.
I just saw this elsewhere and rushed here to see the discussion! Great news for all us Waldo lovers. The photo that's going around looks like a leaked photo from an upcoming press release. It's kind of hard for me to tell how the wavy part looks because it looks like the shirt is just not flat to me. We've had the discussion before about FIFA's rules with dark and light shirts and how the Waldo is sort of in between. I assume this is our primary shirt and it's light, so we're probably getting a dark (maybe blue) second shirt. So this brings up the question we've discussed before, can we wear this when playing a team that has an all red or all white shirt? What if a team only has all white as primary and all red as secondary as for WC's there's only 2 shirts? That's not an uncommon color combo. Maybe in that case we have to wear our second instead?
Looking at our opponents and the match schedule, while Paraguay also has a red and white striped primary kit, since we are the designated home team for that game, we will get to wear our primary kit, forcing Paraguay to change into their blue away kit. Australia is green and yellow, and again we are the designated home team, so no clash there. For Türkiye, assuming they qualify, not only are they the designated home team, but they have a white primary kit and a red secondary kit, so either way there would be a clash. We'll have to wear our (presumably) blue kits for that one.
