USA launch 2017 kit and it's similar to England's strip

Fans cheering on the USA at their World Cup qualifier against Honduras next month could be forgiven for confusing their team with England.  The US announced on Wednesday their team's new men's and women's kit for the 2017 season, with Nike opting for an all-red strip. Problem is, the design is almost identical to the away strip currently worn by Harry Kane and Co across the pond.  The new kits are a bold red colour palette made from recycled polyester, and also features Nike's AeroSwift technology. USA's shirt also feature the words '1 Nation' and '1 Team' on the inside cuffs of the sleeve, with 'USA' displayed on the neckline. The shorts are also red with black elastic side tape with the socks featuring red and orange on the calf.  Their kit is very similar to England's second kit, with the notable difference being the badge and the Three Lions' choice of blue around the neckline.  England's strip sets fans back nearly £140, with the shirt retailing at £90 and shorts costing £27.99 and socks priced at £20. The USA team will debut their new kit on March 24 in their crucial World Cup qualifying match against Honduras in San Jose, California.
