It will close out the group stage against Turkey wearing its secondary blue “stars” kit. The United States is the home team listed in those first two games.United States goalkeepers will wear yellow in the first and third games and blue in the second. Australia is wearing its traditional yellow kits in all three group stage matches, meaning the USMNT goalkeepers shift to blue for that one.The match color designation has been released by FIFA to cover all 72 group stage games, including referee and ball kid kits. Mexico, meanwhile, is one of a few teams to bring three official kits to the World Cup and will wear one each in the group stage.The home kit evokes the American flag, with wavy red and white stripes running horizontally across the jersey. The team has worn this kit in two of the three games played since it was released in March, including in the team’s 3-2 win over Senegal on Sunday.For the USMNT, these kits are personal. Around a dozen key players had their hand in the creative process in the design of this year’s World Cup kits, a change from 2022. The players mostly disliked their 2022 kits and were involved with U.S. Soccer and Nike this time around.“We decided to go navy blue with silver stars, which I think represents us perfectly,” midfielder Tyler Adams said. “I think that’s gonna be an all-time classic jersey.”That kit will be worn against Turkey to close out the group stage. Turkey will wear its traditional home white and red shirt in that match.“We wanted to make sure that the home (jersey) was very wild and obvious,” Yazmin Rosete, one of Nike’s lead designers, said at a kit launch event in March.The hope is these kits lay the foundation for future major tournaments in which the group has one consistent look as kits change and new ones are released.“We want to try and etch our way into (having) at least one that always has stars or always has stripes,” Adams said. “Because that’s the U.S.”
