"The US men's national team got arguably their most distinctive pair of shirts in decades, while other federations earned strong reviews. However, many fans couldn't help but become fixated on one singular detail of the new shirts: a somewhat unsightly bulge along the shoulder seam."
"Some reported some success alleviating the issue by using a steamer, or washing them before wearing them. Others, like one Canadian fan who shelled out $135 for his shirt, were a lot angrier, stating that the way the shoulders are sewn together just makes them bunch like this no matter what."
"Nike acknowledged the issue with shoulders, and said they're looking into what can be done about it if anything. During the recent international break, we observed a minor issue with our Nike national team kits, most noticeable around the shoulder seam."
Nike's World Cup kits launched in March received positive feedback initially, but players and fans later noticed an unsightly bulge at the shoulder seam. While some kits, like the US's, had a less noticeable bulge, others, such as the French kit worn by Kylian Mbappe, drew criticism for their fit. Fans reported similar issues with their purchases, leading to frustration, especially among those with wider shoulders. Nike acknowledged the problem and stated they are investigating potential solutions, emphasizing that performance remains unaffected.
