U.S. Soccer wasn't the only national sports organization to get a uniform upgrade on Thursday, as Nike unveiled the latest jerseys for Team USA's men's and women's basketball teams.
With the Rio Olympics just around the corner, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant and Chicago Sky wing Elena Delle Donne were on hand to model the new threads:
Two great role models for guys & girls to look up to. Teammates on our Olympic Team. @KDTrey5 + @De11eDonne. pic.twitter.com/zO33uuDrdL

Those are a slightly simpler version of the red, white and blue compared to 2012's version, worn proudly by LeBron James & Co.:
Frankly, we can't choose between the two. The angular aesthetic to the 2012 jerseys is awesome, but we love the gloss to the numbers and lettering on this year's version.
Which do you prefer?
