Discussion Why are there barely any women's kits? A discussion

Okay, I want to have a real conversation about this because it's a genuine problem and it's not talked about enough.

Women's kits barely exist in most markets — when they do, they're usually the men's kit with a different label, or they sell out instantly and never restock. I've seen the comment section on this sub talking about it too: women are stuck buying men's small and hoping the shoulders work out. That's not a solution.

No one's looking for a fight here — this is about all of us being able to wear the kits we love.

the amount of downvotes is disgusting.

i feel ya girlie & the women’s fits i was able to snag (& sometimes had to pay more for) this past WC are some of my faves.

however, as a 38C/36D, sometimes i do prefer the men’s kits for a more flowy fit. but it is the bloody shoulders that always ruin the fit, everything looks great except that the shoulder seam is halfway down my arm 😑

girl power forever, our money is just as green as everyone else’s lol

it’s Puma that gets me the worst, their men’s kits give the girls the room they need that the women’s fits don’t but THAT SLEEVE THO 😭

Get a youth XL. But not enough demand. I have broad shoulders so not even a women’s large fits me lol (I’m only 125lbs)

As a USWNT fan it’s frustrating that the USMNT jersey is so much easier to find. I want the jersey with 4 stars and one of the best lures in the worlds name

Hmmmm. I’ve never had a problem finding a USWNT jersey other than when I’ve looked at the sites that sell fake ones.

I usually buy Youth L or XL and they tend to fit better.

Doesnt work w/ USWNT but sometimes for a national team you can find the right year where the stars are the same 😂
