'Best in a decade!' - U.S. Soccer fans hail new Nike kits for Copa America & Paris Olympics as they flip-flop on negative leak reaction - but some still want return of 'Where's Waldo' shirt

Nike released their 2024 home and away kits for respective nations around the world on Monday, but the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/usa-2024-home-away-kits/blt140ad8b5623b421d" target="_blank">USA kits</a> in particular, have been the center of debate. Ahead of a big summer of soccer, featuring the Paris Olympics and the Copa America, the U.S. now has a new look.When leaks of the shirts dropped a little over two weeks ago, the reaction wasn't a positive one from the fanbase, but now that the full threads are out and available, fans seem to have changed their mind.Still, though, it seems as though supporters are still not over the iconic 2013/13 "Where's Waldo" kits - with users on social media longing for the look to return.

It’s subtle but goes a long way. The ENTs have as much pride as anyone when they wear the crest. Truly great to see them represented here."Meanwhile, user <a href="https://twitter.com/USACFC_/status/1769713811236274387" target="_blank">@USACFC_ </a>dubbed them the "best USMNT kits we've had in a decade."User <a href="https://twitter.com/Beer4Breakfast/status/1769726858176639294" target="_blank">@Beer4Breakfast</a> was one of the many, however, who shared that regardless of what the kit drop looks like, he wants his 2012/13 threads back: "Bring back the Where's Waldo."<a href="https://twitter.com/Arsenine_/status/1769705611875266769?s=20" target="_blank">@Arsenine_</a> posted a graphic of what USMNT superstar Christian Pulisic would look like in the 'Waldo Kit,' saying: "It's not that hard."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">It’s not that hard <a href="https://t.co/n0nTXbtRH4">pic.twitter.com/n0nTXbtRH4</a>— Arsenine (@Arsenine_) <a href="https://twitter.com/Arsenine_/status/1769705611875266769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 18, 2024</a></blockquote>

"The bomb pop kits are back! Not sure how I feel about the white kits. The detailing is very similar to England and France’s, as if Nike hit upon an idea and called it a day."Breakout star of the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup for the USWNT, Korbin Albert, was hyped about the new drop, posting on her Instagram feed "Let's goo 🔥🔥" with the shirts.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltcbac6a16e6838456/Image_20240318_114117_118.jpeg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltcbac6a16e6838456/Image_20240318_114117_118.jpeg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltcbac6a16e6838456/Image_20240318_114117_118.jpeg?format=jpg" alt="Korbin Albert USWNT Kit Insta post" data-source="" data-copyright="Instagram/Korbin.Rose_" perform:prop="uuid:bltcbac6a16e6838456;width:1170;height:2065"></picture>USMNT star Christian Pulisic himself showed off the new kit on Instagram, posting the photo below to his story feed.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltb905f0f9f7403503/Image_20240318_112110_360.jpeg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltb905f0f9f7403503/Image_20240318_112110_360.jpeg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltb905f0f9f7403503/Image_20240318_112110_360.jpeg?format=jpg" alt="Christian Pulisic USMNT Kit Insta story" data-source="" data-copyright="Instagram/cmpulisic" perform:prop="uuid:bltb905f0f9f7403503;width:1170;height:1952"></picture>

WHAT THE PUNDITS/CLUBS/PLAYERS/MANAGERS ARE SAYING

The new shirts give a fresh look to U.S. Soccer, and with two major tournaments on the horizon, they now have unique jerseys to represent their country on the pitch. The away kit is almost an ode to the 2014-15 "Bomb Popsicle" kit with similar colorways and patterns, while the new white home kit is a fresh - yet traditional - American look.The details on the collar and neck are portrayals of the craft that Nike took to create the shirts, with the American flag present on the sleeve rings, as well as the two former spots.The USMNT will debut the shirts in the CONCACAF Nations League, and the USWNT in the SheBelieves Cup.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The USMNT take on Jamaica Thursday evening in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Nations League, with a berth on the final on the line. The USWNT, meanwhile, don't report for action until April 6 when they take on Japan in the semifinals of the SheBelieves Cup.
