Canada Soccer and Nike launch new home kit for Women’s National Team

CanWNT will wear the new kit when international football resumes.

Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team’s new Nike home jersey has drawn its inspiration from the maple leaf, an important and iconic symbol in Canadian culture. The new home jersey features a distinctive mix of red colours – Challenge Red, Sport Red and University Red – across a geometric design of maple leaves.

The jersey will be worn by Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team when international football resumes. Earlier this year, Canada qualified for the Tokyo Olympic Games, which was postponed until 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Canada Soccer Women’s National Team won bronze at back-to-back Olympic Games at London 2012 and Rio 2016.  

Alongside the new jersey, Canada Soccer also unveiled the new Power Lines font which will be used for all jersey numbering and nameplates. The new font typeface was also inspired by the maple leaf, built from the dynamic angles and lines of Canada’s most recognised and beloved symbol.

The new Canada Soccer Women’s National Team red jersey is on sale now in women’s, men’s and youth sizes at Sport Chek and Nike.ca.

OLYMPIC MEDAL WINNERS & CONCACAF CHAMPIONS

Canada are two-time Olympic bronze medal winners (2012 and 2016) and two-time Concacaf champions (1998 and 2010). In all, Canada have participated in seven consecutive editions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ (1995 to 2019) and three consecutive editions of the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament (2008 to 2016). At Rio 2016, Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Team were the first Canadian Olympic team to win back-to-back medals at a summer Olympic Games in more than a century.

Canada Soccer’s Women’s National Youth Teams, meanwhile, have won four Concacaf youth titles: the 2004 and 2008 Concacaf Women’s Under-20 Championship, the 2010 Concacaf Women’s Under-17 Championship, and the 2014 Concacaf Girls’ Under-15 Championship. Canada have qualified for seven editions of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup (including a silver medal at Canada 2002) and all six editions of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup (including a fourth-place finish at Uruguay 2018).
