Here. We. Go. This only happens once.
The first-ever San Diego FC uniforms are here. Welcome to the unveiling.
This is a moment in San Diego sports, and another big step as the club prepares for its debut in Major League Soccer’s 2025 season. Partnering with Adidas, the team’s new kit is minimalist in design, but big in meaning. They’re ocean views with a side of sunshine. The team’s official colors—chrome and azul—dominate the new threads, with rainbow side stripes adding a splash of energy. DIRECTV, the club’s first front-of-kit sponsor, takes center stage.
“This kit embodies the spirit of our Club and the pride of our city,” SDFC CEO Tom Penn said in the team’s press release. “Few moments are as special as the unveiling of a football club’s inaugural kit.”
The team says the jersey’s dark blue base (which the team calls azul) draws inspiration from San Diego’s iconic coastal views of sky meeting the ocean, while the chrome (technically not a color but a type of metallic finish) accents reflect the city’s dynamic communities. The gradient side stripes are said to incorporate the club’s community colors, and symbolize San Diego’s diversity.
As SDFC steps into the MLS spotlight, this jersey marks a significant milestone. The unveiling comes ahead of a weekend of celebrations, culminating in the Chrome Ball Cup at Snapdragon Stadium on Sunday, Dec. 15, featuring 5 vs. 5 tournaments with cash prizes for the winners.
Fans eager to get their hands on the new jersey can head to Eighteen Threads, the SDFC retail shop at Mission Valley Mall, or hit MLSStore.com. Special limited-edition jerseys featuring an “Inaugural Season” tag and commemorative box are available in-store only.
