Nike to sell women’s goalkeeper kits after England’s Earps supports campaign
DUBAI: Nike will make its women’s teams goalkeeper kits available for fans to buy, the sportswear giant said on Thursday following a petition supported by England keeper Mary Earps. While fans were able to buy their national teams’ replica kits, the goalkeeper’s jersey was not on sale during the women’s World Cup, which led to criticism from Golden Glove winner Earps and a petition shared by her which had over 150,000 signatures. The England men’s goalkeeper jersey is available to buy. Nike issued a statement after the World Cup final to say it understood the desire for a retail version of the women’s jersey and was working toward solutions for future tournaments. “Nike has secured limited quantities of goalkeeper jerseys for England, US, France and the Netherlands to be sold through the Federation websites over the coming days,” Nike told Reuters. “We recognize that during the tournament we didn’t serve those fans who wished to show their passion and support to the squad’s goalkeepers.
