Every January and February, MLS teams drop dozens of new kits for the year and then shortly after we get new NWSL threads. Some of them are great, others not so much, but American soccer kit culture runs so much deeper than just the top divisions.

Unencumbered by league-wide kit manufacturer deals and restrictive rules, with the freedom to really home in on what makes the club unique, the USL Championship , USL Super League, USL League One , MLS Next Pro and NPSL give us most of American soccer's boldest designs -- for better, worse and, well, eye-catching.
