The members of the U.S. Women's National Team have been making history like it's their job.
A single Sports Illustrated cover just wouldn't do justice to the first team to win three Women's World Cup championships (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/07/05/usa-japan-world-cup_n_7732442.html). So SI made the unprecedented decision (http://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2015/07/13/uswnt-sports-illustrated-cover-2015-world-cup) to give the squad 25 different covers: one for each team member, one for the coach and a special subscriber version featuring a group shot.

"We could go two ways: a team shot, which seemed a little conventional here, or something different and fresh: honoring not just one or two players, but all 23 of them with their own cover," said Chris Stone (http://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2015/07/13/uswnt-sports-illustrated-cover-2015-world-cup), the magazine's managing editor.
The SI crew managed to steal enough time with each of the players last week, when the team was in New York City for a victory parade (http://espn.go.com/espnw/news-commentary/2015worldcup/article/13233810/9-stunning-visuals-uswnt-nyc-parade) held in its honor.
"It all added up to a little piece of history, the first shoot of its kind in SI history," Stone noted.
You can see what the covers for the undisputed best player in the world (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/carli-lloyd-best-player_559eca0fe4b05b1d028ff826), Carli Lloyd, as well as Alex Morgan and a very excited Julie Johnston, look like below.
