Nike is debuting a new collection of kits in advance of the upcoming National Women’s Soccer League season. The designs are inspired by the locations and players that exemplify each club’s unique identity, incorporating vibrant and bold elements to enhance the on-field experience.
Prior to the 2026 season, each NWSL club collaborated closely with Nike to either redesign an existing kit or introduce a third kit to their lineup. Additionally, the two expansion teams added to the league this season, Boston Legacy FC and Denver Summit FC, will be debuting new primary and secondary kits.
“The growth of the NWSL — including its fandom, athletes and influence — only continues to bring renewed energy to the global game,” says Yazmin Rosete, Nike Senior Designer, Global Football Apparel. “For 2026, we wanted to create kits that embody this bold spirit, make a statement and let the rich stories of each club’s legacy play out in new ways, both on and off the pitch.”
Each kit represents the rich stories, vibrant colors, and diverse landscapes of the NWSL, featuring designs that highlight the club’s origins, subtle references to the club’s neighborhood and supporters, and a forward-looking perspective that commemorates a significant moment in the team’s history.
Some kits also include an additional design element—such as a club anniversary or a purpose-driven community moment—to provide an extra, thoughtfully curated detail that reflects the city. Many also feature an “outer pride,” a slogan or logo chosen by the team to strengthen its connection with fans and the local community.
Each kit features Nike’s sports-performance apparel innovation, Dri-FIT ADV, which provides reinforcement, mobility and breathability where it’s needed most, allowing athletes to run and cut with confidence.
