I’ve always been a huge fan of the United States Men’s National Soccer Team, so naturally, I’ve got a few jerseys in my closet. But, I wanted to add a new one to my collection, and that’s what I did today.

First things first, I started thinking about what kind of jersey I wanted. Did I want the home kit, the away kit, or maybe even a third kit? I went back and forth on this for a while, looking at pictures online and trying to remember what the latest designs looked like. Finally, I decided to go with the home kit. It’s just classic, you know?
Then, I started browsing a few websites that sell soccer jerseys. I compared prices and made sure to read the descriptions carefully. I know sometimes you see the word “kit” used, and sometimes it’s the whole uniform, but usually, at least here in the States, people just say “kit” when they mean “jersey.” So I made sure I was looking at just the shirts.
The next thing was figuring out what size I needed. I know from experience that soccer jerseys can fit a little differently than regular t-shirts. I usually wear a large, but sometimes with jerseys, I need to go up to an XL, especially if I want to wear a hoodie underneath. I checked the size charts on the websites, but it’s always a bit of a gamble, right?
One thing I noticed is that some sites sell “authentic” jerseys and some sell “replica” jerseys. I looked into it, and apparently, the authentic ones are the same ones the players wear on the field. They’re made with fancier material and have a tighter fit. Replicas are a bit looser and cheaper. I opted for a replica this time – way more budget-friendly.
- Checked sizes: Large or XL?
- Looked for “authentic” vs. “replica”
- Considered wearing a hoodie underneath
After browsing a few different stores, I found a jersey I liked. It was the official U.S. Soccer men’s home jersey, and they had one for my favorite player – Christian Pulisic. I was stoked! I added it to my cart, double-checked the size (went with an XL to be safe), and then proceeded to checkout.

I entered my shipping information and payment details, and voila! Order confirmed. Now, the waiting game begins. I’m really excited to get my hands on this new jersey and wear it to the next USMNT game I watch. Go USA!
My New Jersey
I finally got the jersey today, and it’s perfect! I tried it on and I love it. It’s super comfortable, and the material feels really nice. It’s going to be my go-to for game days, no doubt. This whole experience was pretty smooth. Now I just need to find a good scarf to match!
