Unfortunately for Americans and Canadians, their countries were let down in terms of Nike's jerseys. This happened for two very different reasons: USA's terrible use of the 2022-23 template and the Swooshes on the sleeves and Canada's uninspired teamwear designs. Canada are the only Nike team to not receive a bespoke look for the World Cup.
