Okay, so, kits are dropping. Left, right, and center. And Orlando City? They've just unleashed their 2025 jersey.
It’s called "The Perfect Storm," andit's trying to say something. About Florida. About football. About us.
See, I'm from Chicago, yeah? Weather there? It's classic, 4 seasons. Reliable. Florida? My friends, Florida is a whole mood.
It’s sunshine one minute, biblical downpour the next. It’s that feeling of impending doom when the sky turns purple and you know you're about to get soaked. But it's also kind of scary, right? That raw, untamed energy.
Orlando City's new kit is trying to capture that. They're saying each jersey is unique—like a digital fingerprint of a storm. A little bit extra? Maybe. But also, kind of poetic.
Pedro Araujo, Orlando City's CMO, says it's a tribute to the fans.
"Through everything, rain or shine," he says.
Which, let’s be real, in Florida, is mostly rain during the shine. But I get it. The fans are the storm, aren’t they? That roar in Inter&Co Stadium? It's not just noise; it's a force.
The Kit Details
The kit itself? It’s got that two-tone purple thing going on, with the white Adidas stripes.
The 407 thunderbolt on the back of the neck? That’s Orlando’s area code—a nice little nod to home.
And the jocktag? A doppler radar storm icon. Cute.
Look, I'm not gonna lie. It’s a football kit. It's meant to be sold.
But there’s something to be said for trying to connect it to something bigger. To the place, to the people, to that unpredictable, beautiful chaos that is Florida.
Maybe it's just a jersey. But maybe it's a reminder that even in the middle of the storm, there's a little bit of magic to be found.
