The controversial new “Where’s Waldo” United States Men’s Soccer Team jerseys will be undergoing a much-needed change before their next match.
According to a Tweet from Sports Illustrated’s Grant Wahl, the USMNT will be changing their front jersey number colour from silver to navy blue, likely because the silver numbers were virtually invisible on the red and white hooped jersey tops.
The new navy-blue numbers are expected to make their debut on the field tonight for their match against Brazil.
