Sports fans had the same thing to say about the jerseys that the U.S. basketball teams will wear for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Once again, the men’s and women’s teams enter the Olympics as the overwhelming favorites to win gold medals. U.S. basketball has dominated both games, as the men’s team has secured gold in every tournament since 1992, except for 2004 (they finished in third).
The U.S. women’s basketball team has won gold at the Summer Olympics every year since 1996. The last time they failed to emerge victorious was in 1992, when the Soviet Union women’s team (called the “Unified Team”) won the event.
On Wednesday, Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant and Las Vegas Aces standout A’ja Wilson revealed the new uniforms that the U.S. basketball teams will wear at this year’s Olympic games in Paris, France:
