A memorable kit can do great things for a football team.
We’ve seen Belgium described as worthy winners of Euro 2016 on the strength of their offering, while the Northern Irish effort has been met with a less popular reaction.
But the Euros isn’t the only continental tournament being played this summer – we’ve got the Copa America Centenario on the way, which means new kits from South and North American teams.
The latest so supposedly be leaked belongs to the United States, and it’s…well…a bit nothingy.

While kits can sometimes draw extreme reactions, this seems bland enough to just bring ambivalence
