Nike has recently announced that they will be offering replicas of Mary Earps’ jersey following criticism in the UK. Earps is a professional footballer who plays for Manchester United in the Women’s Super League. The announcement comes after a number of people in the UK voiced their displeasure with Nike for not offering a replica of Earps’ jersey.
The criticism of Nike began when the company released their new line of Manchester United jerseys. While the jerseys featured the names and numbers of some of the team’s male players, there was no mention of Earps’ name or number. This led to a lot of people in the UK expressing their frustration with Nike, as they felt that Earps should have been given the same recognition as her male counterparts.
In response to the criticism, Nike has now announced that they will be offering replicas of Earps’ jersey. The replica jerseys will feature her name and number, and will be available in both men’s and women’s sizes. This move has been widely praised by many in the UK, as it shows that Nike is taking steps to recognize the achievements of female athletes.
The announcement from Nike is a great step forward for gender equality in sports. By offering replicas of Earps’ jersey, Nike is showing that they are committed to recognizing the achievements of female athletes. This move will hopefully encourage other companies to follow suit and ensure that female athletes are given the same recognition as their male counterparts.
