The USSF just announced that the men's and women's soccer teams will wear special pride kits in recognition of LGBTQ Pride month in June.
USA 2017 Rainbow Numbers
Based on the regular jerseys, the shirts worn by the US teams in June feature pride-inspired rainbow numbers. The US men't national team will debut the bold look in the World Cup qualifier against Venezuela on June 3, while the women's team will don it in the away friendlies against Sweden and Norway shortly after.
One set of game-issued jerseys from each team will be available in an online charity auction. In addition, fans will have the opportunity to purchase customized jerseys with the rainbow numbers.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
