sported a new number while on the field Tuesday: Here’s why she switched from 13 to

The United States women’s national team had a new look about them on Tuesday night during their five goal shutout against the Dominican Republic in the 2024 Concacaf W Gold Cup. As the group played with a confident sense of fluidity, veteran Alex Morgan sported a new look of her own. Morgan was called into Gold Cup camps as a replacement for striker Mia Fishel.

The 22-year-old Fishel suffered an ACL injury during training ahead of matchday one. Per Concacaf tournament rules, incoming players must wear the number of the player they are replacing. That meant Morgan sported No. 7 instead of her iconic No. 13.

Morgan agreed with online sentiment that the new look was strange, and posted similar on social media.
