The adidas x MLS Archive Collection is making a nostalgic return, taking soccer fans on a trip back to the late ’90s and early 2000s. This revival delves into the archives of iconic MLS clubs, infusing the designs with retro sportswear vibes that defined a golden era of football fashion.
This season, the collection features ten MLS clubs, each donning a fresh third kit that channels the flamboyant style and bold aesthetics of yesteryears. From Charlotte FC to Seattle Sounders FC, these clubs are embracing the throwback trend with a mix of oversized logos, vibrant patterns, and a dash of old-school swagger.
Building on the success of last year’s launch, which featured Inter Miami CF, LA Galaxy, and others, this year’s Archive Collection amplifies the cultural homage and streetwear appeal. MLS fans eagerly anticipate these kits, celebrating the league’s rich history and diverse club identities.
According to Rachel Hoagland, MLS SVP of Consumer Products, the third jerseys resonate with fans, embodying a deep-rooted connection to each club’s unique heritage. The collection goes beyond jerseys, offering matching adidas Gazelle shoes and jackets that complete the retro-inspired look, whether you’re at the stadium or navigating vintage soccer ads online.
Collaborating closely with the clubs, adidas has crafted bespoke designs that blend nostalgia with modern aesthetics. Edward Martinez, adidas Senior Manager of Sports Marketing, emphasizes the collection’s focus on capturing the spirit of each club’s past, creating a time capsule of golden eras for fans to savor.
From the Charlotte FC’s Carolina heritage tribute to the Seattle Sounders FC’s vibrant A-League championship-inspired design, each kit tells a story of the club’s evolution and legacy. The Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew, D.C. United, and other clubs pay homage to their roots with unique elements that reflect their journey in MLS.
Embracing the Americana vintage revival, the Archive Collection transports fans to a bygone era of bold colors, retro logos, and iconic designs. The fusion of ’90s aesthetics with contemporary style resonates with both seasoned supporters reliving past glories and new fans discovering the league’s rich history.
As MLS clubs gear up in these retro-inspired kits, the message is clear: the past is back, reimagined for a new generation of soccer enthusiasts. The adidas x MLS Archive Collection is not just about fashion; it’s a celebration of soccer culture, uniting fans across generations in a shared love for the beautiful game.
