It may evoke memories of a controversial Socceroos kit of nearly 30 years ago for some, but Sam Kerr can't wait to wear the specially-designed kit.

For the first time, the Matildas will wear a uniquely designed kit at this year's World Cup.

Captain Sam Kerr has lauded the new shirt, saying it represents the Matildas' spirit as an "out there and bold" team."The kit is unreal, it's such a different take on what we've seen in the past and we couldn't have hoped for a better looking home jersey," she said."To have a kit designed just for the Matildas to play in, it's a dream come true, and we are honoured to be pulling on the green and gold.

The strip is likely to be polarising given the move away from the simple formula of gold shirt, green shorts and white socks so beloved by traditionalists.But some were less impressed with the kit.
