Not bad, Union. Not bad at all.
The team keeps their signature navy blue base color, and the shield on the left breast. The addition of the racing stripe down the left side of the jersey, though. Fantastic. Signal blue and gold, mirroring the colors of the flag for the City of Philadelphia.
The stripe is somewhat reminiscent of that of their original kits, which went down the middle of the jersey.
It’s drawing early mixed reviews on social media, which is to be expected, especially considering the stripe looks similar to one used by NYCFC in recent years.

The team designed the jerseys with help from the team’s Creators’ Collective, which includes input from the fans themselves. So if you’re blasting the team for the design, you’re kind of throwing your own brethren under the bus.
