The new uniform is made with Nike’s Lightweight Breathe fabric, which is 30 percent lighter than standard knit fabrics and wicks sweat away from the body three times faster than cotton. In addition, key strategic vents built into the Jersey and Shorts help increase airflow and further regulate body temperature.

“The design of the new USA basketball uniform was inspired by two things – speed and patriotism,” said Tony Bignell, director of global design for Nike Basketball “We want our athletes to feel like they have an advantage when they put on the red, white and blue.”

Additional benefits of the new USA Basketball uniform include:
-Optimized fit – Shorts are two inches shorter than traditional basketball shorts for less fabric and enhanced mobility; jersey has a tailored fit to minimize distractions and allow full range of motion.
-Enhanced comfort – Softening agents are added to fabric to minimize irritation caused by chafing; flatlock stitching reduces seam irritation.
-Innovative cooling – Sublimated stripes on sides of jersey and shorts help strategically vent heat outward; laser perforations on strategic paneling help increase airflow where players need it most.
-Superior durability – Double knit fabric reduces tearing; abrasion resistant fiber helps prevent pilling in high wear areas such as the shoulder yoke.
-Prideful details – The stars positioned above the player number on the jersey pay homage to those displayed on military uniforms; back neck loop honors those who have served or are serving in active duty by allowing them to wear their dog tags during competition.
