Sporting Kansas City

Kansas City get a new primary kit this year and it’s already one of the best kits in the league. The club keeps the classic baby blue look but with a unique and added touch: “raw grey” diagonal stripes across the front of the shirt. The collar has dar blue trim and there are dark blue Adidas stripes down the sides of the kit.

The kit has a unique diagonal lined jock tag, as well as a “For Glory, For City” motto inside the neck. There are also two silver stars above the crest for the club’s MLS Cup wins in 2000 and 2013. Because of the unique template used on the front of the kit, Kansas City immediately sets itself apart from the rest of the league. Add in the raw grey shorts and socks, and it’s plain to see how great Sporting’s new kit is.

Kit grade: A+
