Summary
A woman named Natalie revealed on TikTok that she helped design the U.S. World Cup jersey, which received criticism from commenters. The jersey’s design was deemed unflattering, with some calling it the “worst kit” they’ve ever seen. Nike had previously acknowledged a design flaw in the 2026 FIFA World Cup jerseys, which included a bulge connected to the shoulder seam. The flaw was not corrected due to time constraints.

The habit of announcing one’s role in a high-profile design project gets a new name.
Natalie’s TikTok video was meant to be a proud moment, but it backfired. Commenters roasted the U.S. kit’s design, calling it “bad” and “the worst.” Meanwhile, Nike’s design flaw in the World Cup jerseys was a minor issue, but the brand still issued special washing and steaming instructions to reduce the bulge’s appearance. The U.S. kit’s “loud” design and color scheme distracted from the flaw. The routine of criticizing design choices arrives with confidence.
