Nike are doing the US Women's national team no favor with their new USA 2022 World Cup kits.
Nike USA 2022 Jerseys - Placement of 2019 FIFA World Cup Champions Badge
The gold badge that the US Women's national team earned for winning the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup is placed on the right chest instead of the center. With the Swoosh being on the shoulders, it looks out of place.
The reason why Nike placed the badge on the right top instead of the center is possibly the front shirt numbers. The front shirt numbers are placed below the crest.
We created two mock-ups with the gold badge in the middle to show that it could have been better if Nike had done the same.
USA 2022 World Cup Home & Away Kits Released
It is nothing new that FIFA World badges are placed at sub-optimal positions. Real Madrid have had their World Cup winners badge at the top right in the past few years, and not in the center.
With the 2023 Women's World Cup taking place next year, we expect the US Women's national team to get new uniforms in early/mid-2023.
