The Philadelphia Union unveiled their new primary jersey on Tuesday, which pays homage to the upcoming 250th birthday of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. Known as the 1776 Jersey, it “reflects the city’s role as a birthplace of unity and its impact on a global stage.”
“The 1776 Kit represents a historic moment for Philadelphia and for the club,” Amanda Young Curtis, Philadelphia Union SVP Marketing and Communications, said in a news release. “America’s 250th anniversary and the FIFA World Cup create a unique opportunity to showcase Philadelphia’s history, pride, and global relevance, and this jersey is a symbol of that moment. It’s a reflection of who we are, where we come from, and the significance of this year for our city, our fans, and our organization.”
Historic symbols on the jersey include Benjamin Franklin, the Declaration of Independence complete with John Hancock’s signature, the U.S. Constitution and the Liberty Bell.
Bimbo returns to the jersey as the front-of-kit sponsor. The primary kits have displayed the Bimbo logo since 2011, while the team’s secondary kit features Thomas’, a Bimbo Bakeries USA brand that has been featured on the secondary kit since 2023. Independence Blue Cross’ (IBX) logo returns to the right sleeve of the Union’s primary, secondary, and specialty jersey’s worn during league competition, where it has been displayed since being introduced in 2024.
