From legendary bands to the 250th anniversary of the United States, all 30 MLS teams are leaning into all sorts of inspiration for their new kits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup coming to North America this summer, there’s plenty of attention on MLS as its season gets underway on Feb. 21. \u00a0And that includes some new sharp designs to lean into each team’s local identity and culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some teams, including defending MLS Cup champions Inter Miami, will release their kits on Wednesday. Let’s dive in.<\/p>\n
Jump to:<\/strong> Atlanta United | Austin FC | Charlotte FC | Chicago Fire | FC Cincinnati | Colorado Rapids | Columbus Crew | D.C. United | FC Dallas | Houston Dynamo | Sporting KC | LA Galaxy | LAFC | Inter Miami | Minnesota United | CF Montr\u00e9al | Nashville SC | New England Revolution | Red Bull New York | NYCFC | Orlando City | Philadelphia Union | Portland Timbers | Real Salt Lake | San Diego FC | San Jose Earthquakes | St. Louis City SC | Toronto FC | Vancouver Whitecaps\u00a0<\/p>\n (Major League Soccer)<\/span> <\/p>\n Austin FC’s jersey incorporates vertical stripes by blending new shades of the team’s signature verde<\/i> with aquatic green, inspired by the landscape and clear waters of Austin local landmarks such as Barton Springs, Zilker Park, and the Hill Country.\u00a0<\/p>\n (Major League Soccer)<\/span> <\/p>\n Charlotte FC, now five years in existence, returns to a core visual that defined their team’s initial days but also reinforces its vision to be progressive, collective, and ambitious.<\/p>\n (Major League Soccer)<\/span> <\/p>\n The LA Galaxy’s trademark blue sash adorned with golden trim remains front and center of this look, but with a bolder look. The return of vibrant blue is meant to signal three attributes of the road ahead: bright, confident, and in constant movement.\u00a0<\/p>\n (Major League Soccer)<\/span> <\/p>\n The Loons have now celebrated a full decade in MLS, and this look revisits the club\u2019s inaugural design with a modern edge. A bold black base includes the original blue sash, symbolizing the Mississippi River that flows through both the crest and the state.\u00a0<\/p>\n (Major League Soccer)<\/span> <\/p>\n An apt jersey to celebrate America 250. Inspired by patriotic bunting and July 4 fireworks that light the skies each summer, the Revs’ jersey includes the Heritage Tree and “Est. 1776” sign-offs. The jersey honors the region\u2019s role in America\u2019s founding and celebrates a milestone year.<\/p>\n (Major League Soccer)<\/span> <\/p>\n Did Orlando strike gold here? The Sunken Treasure kit dives into Florida\u2019s storied coastline and the legend of the 1715 Treasure Fleet. Inspired by shipwrecks and sea exploration, this is the Lions’ first-ever predominantly gold jersey \u2013 although the look includes trademark deep purple accents.<\/p>\n (Major League Soccer)<\/span> <\/p>\n The kit celebrates the 100th anniversary of Providence Park, home of the Timbers. Drawing from the stadium\u2019s arches and 1920s architecture, the design weaves intricate patterns and alludes to the ivy that climbs the stadium walls in the heart of Soccer City USA.<\/p>\n The team will enter its second season in existence with a kit that is inspired by the shared culture of San Diego and Tijuana. The SDTJ jock tag, crafted by local artist Pigmento, symbolizes the daily exchange between both cities, further highlighted by the “Sin Fronteras” emblem.<\/p>\n Featuring the Grateful Dead\u2019s most recognizable marks, this kit honors the legendary group\u2019s first 1965 show in San Jose. The kit is inspired by the band\u2019s psychedelic roots with a tie-dye design bursting with bright pastel color.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY From legendary bands to the 250th anniversary of the United States, all 30 MLS teams are leaning into all sorts of inspiration for their new kits.\u00a0 With the 2026 FIFA World Cup coming to North America this summer, there’s plenty of attention on MLS as its season gets underway on Feb.
