What’s new?
This year, the 2018 Orlando City SC away jersey boasts a clean, simplistic look with the most noticeable asset being the monochrome club crest which carries a white lion instead of the usual yellow.
Only carrying two colours – white and purple – the minimalist-style jersey contains a V-neck collar with a purple trim and the iconic three Adidas stripes part way down each shoulder in purple.
Seven subtle white pinstripes represent the seven seasons the Lions have been playing soccer in the city of Orlando.
There is also purple sleeve cuffs as well as the updated Orlando Health logo in purple, without the swirly ‘O’ styling we’ve become so familiar with since 2011.
As for the MLS patches on either sleeve, these are white with purple bordering and lettering. Purple MLS lettering and numbers will grace the back of the jersey.
Unique facets to the 2018 Orlando City SC away jersey include an ‘est. 2010’ jock tag that appears on the bottom left hand corner of the design.
Additionally, the zip code in which Orlando City Stadium is located – ‘32805’ – is repeated three times on the neckline of the jersey.
As for the 2018 Orlando City SC away kit as a whole, white shorts and white socks complete the updated look for the Lions.

Was really hoping for something a little more unique, but when I looked at it a second time it's perfect. The all white look, including the badge, is simple and very sharp🙌🏼 Vamos Orlando City!

The Black/Purple color scheme would have been better, this is very similar to the previous second kit

It looks a lot better than I thought but still disappointed 🤷🏼♀️

Indeed a SMOOTH look to the 2018 away kit. However, personally I would’ve liked to have seen some Gold incorporated. The addition of a Gold strip(s) or perhaps Gold lettering would make it LIT. A nice kit nonetheless. 👌 #VamosOrlando

Fresh but kind of disappointed it’s white again, I wanted a yellow/gold as a contrast to the badge!

Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice kit but it is quite boring
