The 2019 Women’s World Cup is just a few months away and Monday morning Nike unveiled the kits that 14 of the 24 countries will be wearing.

The United States women’t team is one of those squads. Their white jersey is designated as the home jersey and will harken back to the iconic 1999 US Women’s National Team that won the World Cup on home soil in dramatic fashion.

In February, Nike put out a video revealing the team’s kits that will be worn when the competition begins June 7-July 7 in France.

One of the special touches on the kits are the fact that all 50 states are represented on the uniform, as well as three stars down the side of the shorts that represent the three World Cups USWNT has won.

Here are some of the other countries that will be in Nike gear once the world cup begins.
