The highly anticipated special release capsule designed by J.Lindeberg for Team USA golf is finally available to the public for purchase as the Summer Olympics continue. The collection, which includes performance pieces for men and women, as well as accessories like a stand bag, sneakers, belts, socks, headcovers, and compression sleeves, embraces Americana color ways (which happen to also nod to the host country’s flag) as well as sleek, European-style minimalism and tailoring in celebration of JL’s Swedish origins. The marriage of cultures continues in the motifs, which feature geometric zigzags reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower. You’ll see Team USA’s Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu, and Rose Zhang on the women’s side, and men’s team members Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Wyndham Clark, and Collin Morikawa sported the JL kit over the weekend.
While the Scandinavian brand (often modeled by Norwegian pro Viktor Hovland) may first seem like an unexpected choice for Team USA, there’s a lot about the brand aesthetically that makes sense, as is evident from the looks of performance tops, zip-ups, compression shorts, tipped polos, sneakers, carry-alls, joggers, and varsity jacket just unveiled. The looks feature stark, geometric motifs in Americana red, white, and blue that will shine on camera and connote mastery and dynamism on the course (and if color psychology has anything to say about the relationship between bold patterns and performance, this could lead to greater confidence and gamesmanship for Team USA).
The J.Lindeberg designers also drew inspiration from France itself, not only taking into consideration the intense heat of Parisian summers when choosing from their lines of technical, UV-protecting, moisture-wicking stretch fabrics, but also in the patterns, where elements of the steely, poignant Eiffel Tower overlay the patriotic color palette.
The looks are patriotic, stylish, and fierce, with a seamless blend of athleticism and fashion making these pieces you can wear in support of Team USA this summer, and anytime beyond. Below, we’ve selected some of our favorite limited edition looks for men and women that are still available to round out your winning golf wardrobe.
