MLS unveiled their Pride pre-match jerseys on Monday.
The design – consistent for all teams across the league – is a white jersey with colorful sleeves and the phrase Love Unites across the front. The Union’s primary jersey sponsor, Bimbo, has its logo on the back of their version of the shirt.
It’s the fourth edition of the pre-match top for the league in partnership with adidas to celebrate Pride Month in June.
For the 2023 Pride Pack, which includes black tees for each club in addition to the pre-match kits, adidas partnered with Queer South African designer Rich Mnisi. Known for loud and bold graphics, Mnisi expresses himself in a way that doesn’t fit the perceived gender binary: He dares to reimagine a world where the freedom of self-expression exists without bias.
The top is guided by a key line from a love letter Mnisi wrote to his younger Queer self – “Let love be your legacy” – and features a color palette from the ally Progress Pride Flag. Each kit serves as a rallying cry for active allyship to empower and champion the LGBTQIA+ community.
The pre-match top is available for sale at MLSStore.com.
The Union will hold their Pride Night on June 3 against CF Montreal.
