Nike announced that they have obtained a limited supply of goalkeeper jerseys for England, the United States, France, and the Netherlands. These jerseys will be available for purchase on the respective federation websites in the upcoming days. Additionally, Nike is currently discussing the availability of these jerseys with their other federation partners. Nike acknowledged that they were unable to adequately cater to fans who wanted to display their passion and support for the squad's goalkeepers during the tournament. As a result, Nike has pledged to make women's goalkeeping jerseys available for future major tournaments.

Earps expressed her disappointment and hurt over the sports clothing giant's decision to exclusively offer England Women's home and away shirts, while making both of England's men's goalkeeping shirts available for purchase.
Nike initially justified their decision following the Sunday's finale in Sydney, in which Spain defeated England 1-0, by stating that they were actively pursuing resolutions for upcoming tournaments. However, Earps once again criticized this statement on social media, and a change.org petition demanding Nike to make replicas of her kit received over 150,000 signatures before the company reversed their stance.
The Manchester United player won the FIFA Best award for the world's top goalkeeper earlier this year. Additionally, they received the Golden Glove from the Women's World Cup after making a penalty save in the final match. Former Sports Minister Tracey Crouch expressed her approval of the decision on X (formerly known as Twitter). She stated, "I find it amazing that a well-known brand found themselves in this predicament in the first place. Now, it will be fascinating to see the definition of 'limited quantity' and if they are available in all sizes. I suspect that fans of all ages and body types will be interested."
