Nike have sent out USA 2022 World Cup kits featuring one star, Footy Headlines have been informed. Footy Headlines can confirm that the story is real.
Nike Did Create USA 2022 World Cup Kits with One Star in Case of World Cup Victory
The sportswear giant Nike apparently have been preparing for a potential American victory at the 2022 World Cup, even though it was very unlikely.
A fan who recently bought the USA shirt received one with a star above the logo, similar to how the German team had a fourth star added to their kit after winning the 2014 World Cup. Footy Headlines can confirm that this version of the Nike kit exists and that Nike already had the specific products ready in case of the victory.
the odds of the USA winning the World Cup were less than 1% at bookmakers
However, the odds of the USA winning the World Cup were less than 1% at bookmakers, so the star addition seems premature.
It seems likely that Nike have also prepared for the victory of the Women's at the 2023 Women's World Cup, which would earn them their fifth star.
