The new MLS season kicks off on February 22 with the opening game between Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake, so we are at the moment of the presentation of the home jerseys of the teams involved. For the second consecutive year, adidas will sponsor all 29 clubs, according to the rules of the $830 million contract signed in February 2023. It stipulates that the Three Stripes will be featured on training kit as well as on the match jerseys and, of course, on the match ball. In the MLS, jerseys are rotated every two years, so teams alternate between home and away kits to keep the production chain more sustainable and to get closer to an audience that is not yet as intense as the European one.
However, MLS is on the rise and there has been no shortage of twists and turns in the MLS football market. Emil Forsberg has moved to the New York Red Bulls after years at Leipzig, continuing a relationship with teams owned by the energy drink company, while Inter Miami's squad continues to be enriched with old friends of Lionel Messi thanks to the arrival of Luis Suarez, who joins former Blaugrana teammates Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. Between the presentation of the new kits and the arrival of the new champions, we can only wait for the start of the new season of the Made in USA league. Let's find out which are the best jerseys in the MLS.
Los Angeles Football City - Home Kit
Suffice it to say that Will Ferrell's presentation make the LA team's jersey a cult already. Add to that the return of the thin gold and gray stripes on a black background, symbolizing the city's strong sense of allegiance to the club that brought soccer to California, and the various details hidden in the neck and around the edges of the jersey, and you can see that Los Angeles FC will be selling jerseys all season long.
Seattle Sounders - Home Kit
The team from Seattle is celebrating fifty years of professional football this season, a very high number for a US club, considering that the MLS was only founded in 1993. However, the city has always had a rich football culture, which began in the North American Soccer League. This is reflected in the return of the teal stripe and the redesign of the club's logo. Seattle's Space Needle is the real star in a more minimalist version of the crest than its predecessor.
Portland Timbers - Away Kit
We stay on the West Coast to discover the new away kit of the team from Portland, which has always paid great attention to nature and sustainability in its jerseys. After rose petals were used in the previous version, this time the protagonists are pine needles, while both the club crest with the hammer and that of the technical sponsor adidas have been placed vertically in the center of the jersey, as we have already seen on the new Inter Miami jersey.
DC United - Home Kit
The team from the State Capital also decided to radically change the design of its home jersey. Last season's vertical stripes have been replaced by an intricate horizontal, interrupted pattern that always uses the club's colors. Black and gray form the base of the jersey, while red defines the details and gives the jersey three-dimensionality. The hidden detail is the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge, which is incorporated into the back neckline.
New York City Football Club - Away Kit
We close in New York with the jersey of the club's own City Football Club, which has used the colors that have always characterized the Big Apple for a black jersey. Orange and blue are clearly visible on the three stripes on the shoulders, creating a bright design inspired by the City that never sleeps.
