Team USA has shown off its basketball jerseys for the 2024 Summer Olympics, with Kevin Durant and A’ja Wilson modeling for the men’s and women’s teams, respectively. Their announcement on social media highlighted the involvement of these star athletes in promoting the new uniforms.
The new designs present a significant shift from previous uniforms. The darker version of the jersey has a red base with white outlines and blue sides, while the lighter version features a white base with blue sides and blue and red outlines. This marks a notable change, as past uniforms predominantly used blue, but now red has become a more dominant color in the design.
Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams are highly ranked globally, with the men’s team holding the No. 1 spot by FIBA and having secured four consecutive Olympic gold medals.
The women’s team, also ranked No. 1, boasts an even more impressive streak with seven consecutive gold medals. This dominant performance sets high expectations for their participation in the upcoming Olympics.
The new uniforms will be showcased when the Olympics begin in late July. The men’s basketball team is scheduled to start their tournament on July 28 against Serbia, while the women’s team will kick off their competition on July 29 against Japan.
Fans and supporters will have the opportunity to see these new designs in action as both teams strive for continued success on the Olympic stage.
