The wait is finally over! The new 2019 Orlando City SC home jersey – #BringTheNoise – was officially unveiled at Lion’s Pride Orlando on Friday.
One of the final MLS teams to unveil their new look this off-season with just 15 days to go until the 2019 MLS season gets underway, the 2019 Orlando City SC home jersey is our third home design in Major League Soccer to date.

What’s new?
This year, the 2019 Orlando City SC home jersey boasts a sleek, ultra-modern look with the biggest change being the subtle V-shaped geometric patterning in darker purple down the front of the design.
Adidas have incorporated this V-shaped geometric patterning into other template jerseys including the 2019 UAE away jersey and the 2018 Spain away jersey among others. This patterning was first made famous by the German manufacturer on the 1988 Netherlands kit.
Although this patterning featured in the design leaked by FootyHeadlines.com back on Friday January 25th, today’s unveiling refutes the white collar and white Adidas stripes.

The 2019 Orlando City SC home jersey carries just two colours – purple and white – with a darker purple trim and the iconic three Adidas stripes in plastic rather than material half way down each shoulder in the same darker shade of purple. The updated home design also sees a return to a V-neck rather than a collar for the first time since 2015.
This is the first time in MLS that an Orlando City SC jersey has carried purple Adidas stripes with white (2015/16) and gold (2017/18) having been used previously.
The contemporary Orlando Health logo continues as the club sponsor in white, conceived last season to replace the swirly ‘O’ styling we’ve been used to since the first ever Orlando City SC campaign back in 2011.
As for the MLS patches on either sleeve, these are purple and white with gold bordering and lettering. White MLS lettering and numbers will feature on the back of the jersey.

Unique facets to the 2019 Orlando City SC home jersey include a Florida state flag with the lettering “City Beautiful” as the jock tag on the bottom left hand corner of the design. Additionally, the slogan “Defend The Fortress” graces the top portion on the rear of the jersey.

As for the 2019 Orlando City SC home kit as a whole, purple shorts and purple socks each featuring the Lion from the Orlando City SC crest in white complete the updated look for the Lions.

I don’t dislike it…just wish we could be more creative and I also wish mls would give clubs freedom to have other brands make their jersey like every other league in the world..I mean look at the USL so many unique creative kits..
