Marking themselves out from the crowd, Atlanta United become the first and only MLS team to receive a third shirt from adidas, and the first since 2016. The kit features 13 messages of unity in 11 global languages that pay homage to the power of the beautiful game and its power to unite all people.
It’s not every season that MLS teams get a third kit, and the special honour has been bestowed upon Atlanta United because of the amount of shirts the team has sold over the last few seasons, helped by the fact that they often boast some of the best designs in the league. ‘The Unity Kit’, as it has been named, features a bespoke design, inspired by the city of Atlanta, the state of Georgia, its people, and the wider unifying power of the game.
The jersey features 13 messages of unity in 11 global languages that pay homage to the power of the beautiful game and its power to unite all people. The colour is a distinctive, deep red and orange cement, a nod to the Georgia red clay that serves as a common ground that the club’s fanbase stands on. Each message of unity ripples outward through the wavy 5-Stripes, while inside the collar, the words “A City United” feature as a strong message of solidarity.
“We’re excited to unveil ‘The Unity Kit’ as our third kit for the 2021 season,” Atlanta United President Darren Eales said. “This kit pays homage to unity, soccer and the great city of Atlanta. It’s a tribute to our supporters, who helped us become the first MLS team since 2016 to qualify for a third kit. We can’t wait to see our players wear this kit on June 20 in front of our amazing supporters.”
