 NEW YORK (AP) - The Americans are going for the gold — in gold. The U.S. women's team unveiled its jerseys for the upcoming World Cup, and the look certainly is distinctive. The primary jersey is gold, with red, white and blue trimming.
"This is a statement Nike and the rest of us are taking on," scoring leader Abby Wambach said Thursday at the first public showing of the uniform. "We believe we can win the World Cup. Seeing how we're No. 1 in the world, we're going into this tournament with all the confidence in the world."
Wambach then looked out into the crowd of about 250 at a lower East Side park — most of them youngsters dressed in soccer garb — and shouted the team slogan: "Take Back the Gold."
