Jerseys and clothing in sports have become more than just a representation of an organization. Kits around the world now represent communities and fans and pay tribute to the history and culture of the cities representing each team. Year after year, there are few things to get you excited about your team more than a brand-new kit drop. The NWSL and its teams have done a great job in creating and promoting these kits with the respective companies, and each release has a chance to set a new trend. Let\u2019s rank the 2023 NWSL kits, and let us know how\u2019d you rate them differently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n First\u2013but last\u2013on our list of the best new NWSL kits is the Courage. The Courage has history when it comes to winning titles, but when it comes to their kits, they\u2019ve never done anything remarkable. <\/span><\/p>\n This year, their kits have a new look with a new sponsor, but the font doesn\u2019t match the rest of the jersey. The crest on the kit looks futuristic and unique, but the rest isn\u2019t deviating much from their previous jerseys, especially with color.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sleek black kits for \ud83c\udfe0 pic.twitter.com\/NTXht0nhnj<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Washington Spirit (@WashSpirit) March 1, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n There\u2019s nothing wrong with keeping things simple because sometimes less is more. However, the all-black design\u2013something that has been done by other teams, including Gotham\u2013doesn\u2019t make this kit unique or different in any way. They\u2019ll look great out on the pitch, and black is the simple and easy choice, but nothing else makes this kit stand out in any way. <\/span><\/p>\n The opportunity to come out with a great red and black kit or a cherry blossoms kit was wasted. The Spirit might\u2019ve been worried it would look like some of the Portland Thorns\u2019 older kits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The @sandiegowavefc<\/a> unveil details for their 2023 kits! <\/p>\n \ud83c\udf0a Number design mimics Pacific Ocean\u2019s waves \u2014 Women\u2019s Sports Exchange (@wsportsxchange) March 6, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Wave didn\u2019t deviate too far from last year\u2019s kit, with some minor changes to the home kit at the top. However, based on Twitter comments under all the Waves\u2019 posts, the fans aren\u2019t happy with it and would like some more color. <\/span><\/p>\n While there could be more color, other cool details make this kit stand out. The away kit has the surfboard patch on it to represent the surf celebration they made popular last year. The home kit has a tag inspired by neighborhood signs from San Diego, and their numbers have a wave design in them. <\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s only year two. We\u2019ll believe they\u2019re leaving some room for more exciting designs in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n That new kit heat. \ud83d\udd25 pic.twitter.com\/aMM3lvEkDM<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 NJ\/NY Gotham FC (@GothamFC) March 7, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Gotham has had some great kits since their creation, and the black with teal offers some interesting options for a design. I\u2019m not sure what Gotham was going for here, whether it\u2019s meant to be a lightning bolt or a stripe, but I\u2019m getting zebra vibes when I see this kit. <\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s a bright color that they could\u2019ve used differently, but these will look interesting on TV, to say the least.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \ud835\ude10\ud835\ude35’\ud835\ude34 \ud835\ude35\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude2e\ud835\ude26 \ud835\ude27\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude33 \ud835\ude34\ud835\ude30\ud835\ude2e\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude35\ud835\ude29\ud835\ude2a\ud835\ude2f\ud835\ude28 \ud835\ude27\ud835\ude33\ud835\ude26\ud835\ude34\ud835\ude29.<\/p>\n Introducing the #RacingLou<\/a> Mint Kit. pic.twitter.com\/VsJZGY7gwd<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Racing Louisville FC (@RacingLouFC) April 28, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Racing Louisville released the Mint Kit last season, and it\u2019s really nice. The mint-colored fleur de lis is a great addition and pays homage to Louisville. However, it\u2019s not a new kit and is a rebrand of their old away jerseys in lavender. Nonetheless, Racing Louisville has some of the best colors and branding to work with in the league.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Ahead of the 2023 NWSL season, the Orlando Pride has announced an updated look to its Luna Kit \u26bd\ufe0f<\/p>\n With the change, they become the first NWSL team to entirely do away with white shorts in order to ease players\u2019 period concerns \ud83d\udc4f pic.twitter.com\/xwuPIjHzCB<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 The GIST USA (@thegistusa) March 1, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Orlando took a huge step for women by changing the color of their shorts, they will no longer wear the whites, and you can see in the tweet they are now black. The shorts look great, and the actual kit itself, with the gray sleeves on the white shirt, is nice but nothing spectacular. <\/span><\/p>\n The purple kit<\/a> will always be a mainstay of the NWSL, but the alternate kit is just fine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n OL Reign have dropped their “Purpose” kit for the 2023 season!<\/p>\n The design symbolizes the club\u2019s bold mindset and dedication to advocating for the community when it comes to sustainability, social justice, the empowerment of women and LGBTQ+ rights, to name a few.#NWSL<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RQxX24W1N0<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Women\u2019s Sports Exchange (@wsportsxchange) March 17, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The OL Reign made a big splash for their \u201cPurpose\u201d kit, which is meant to advocate for and uplift communities in need. <\/span><\/p>\n Seeing the Black Future Co-op Fund as their primary sponsor supports that vision and lets everyone know what the OL Reign stands for. The solid blue with the black stripes and red trim works and has more to look at than their jerseys from previous years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n NWSL’s Kansas City Current “Power Up” New Away Kit for 2022.<\/p>\n Story: https:\/\/t.co\/nfC8QjfAVj<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/NOUXma4jBW<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Chris Creamer (@sportslogosnet) April 28, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Like Louisville, the electric \u201cPower Up\u201d kit was released last year. However, the Current has gone all in on their team name, and I love it because they now have a theme they can center everything around. The idea of the current running like water to create electricity is the inspiration behind this kit. <\/span><\/p>\n It features a nice teal color to support the white trim, which really accentuates the jersey overall. It also stays in line with their theme as a team, which is why I have it slightly higher on the list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u2728The Houston Dash\u2019s new \u2018La Estrella\u2019 home kit is out now!<\/p>\n Picks up where some past shirts have left off in terms of being VERY orange, with the rather routine Nike trim and collar. <\/p>\n Vibey freshness comes from multiple orange tones creating a wavy effect and texture. pic.twitter.com\/lPn5ZuKYa6<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Theo Lloyd-Hughes (@theolloydhughes) February 22, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Houston also didn\u2019t go crazy with their new kit, but it still has some unique additions. Rather than just go for one solid orange, the team added multiple tones of orange for depth, and it pops. It\u2019ll look even better out on the pitch, and the team now has black shorts to go with the orange. Halloween colors in Houston with a summer and fall season don\u2019t sound like a bad idea at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The new Portland Thorns kit is confirmed, and it definitely bucks the trend of plain white shirts in the #NWSL<\/a>, I’ll give it that. Pretty sure we’ll never forget this kit \ud83d\ude2c<\/p>\n The club says it is “both audacious and authentic, rooted in the city and inspired by its artistry.” pic.twitter.com\/CF2rXQcq8N<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jeff Kassouf (@JeffKassouf) March 14, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n If there were a list of the most polarizing jerseys, this would take the top spot. <\/span><\/p>\n Everyone has an opinion about this jersey, and for people looking in from the outside, they don\u2019t like it. However, having spoken to fans in Portland and having visited there before, everything about this kit fits with the city. It\u2019s a kit for Portlanders to enjoy, and the colors to go with the design match everything about the city\u2019s vibes. <\/span><\/p>\n A lot is going on, and the Tik Tok sponsorship does take away from the actual design, but overall, I think we\u2019ll find Thorns fans happy. It\u2019s something different and unique, which fits what Portland is all about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Angel City releases their 2023 secondary kit, \u201cRepresent\u201d!<\/p>\n The jersey features \u2014 Women\u2019s Sports Exchange (@wsportsxchange) March 16, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Angel City has come out with some amazing-looking kits in its first two years. Their latest kit continues to be all about the community and the fan base. There\u2019s a dark gray map pattern of Los Angeles and its coastline, plus the halftone pattern for how incredibly diverse a city LA is. <\/span><\/p>\n This kit is a great way to make the people of Los Angeles feel like they\u2019re a part of something while still looking stylish. The pink collar and \u201cVolemos\u201d written on the back<\/a> are nice touches. This kit fits with everything Angel City has been trying to create as a brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Chicago Red Stars have unveiled their new \u201cFoundation\u201d kit!#NWSL<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/R1xaMx3Pgq<\/a><\/p>\n12.
