  • The U.S. men's national soccer team unveiled new uniforms for the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup, consisting of two designs: a "stars" kit and a "stripes" kit.
  • The "stripes" kit, featuring red and white wiggly stripes, drew immediate comparisons from fans to Where's Waldo? and candy canes, echoing a previous team design from 2012-2014.
  • Fan reactions were mixed, with many joking about the "Waldo remix" while others expressed disappointment over the design choices.
