The Orlando Pride unveiled its new “white plume away kit” on Tuesday featuring swan feathers, honoring swans at iconic Lake Eola and the Black Swans Drinking Club supporters group.

The purple and blue Orlando Pride logo is featured on the upper left chest, while a black Nike swoosh is on the right. The red, blue and white NWSL logo is on the left shoulder.
“The pattern, modeled after feathers of the Lake Eola swans, represents the Pride’s ‘migration’ to face its NWSL opponents in its annual travels across the country,” the club announced. “In addition, the White Plume kit will feature a single, black feather at the Jock Tag, a fueling reminder of the energy and passion of the Black Swans and Pride fans, even when the team is on the road.”
The Pride will wear the jerseys on the road during the 2020 and 2021 seasons.
The jersey is made of Nike Dri-FIT material, designed to keep those wearing it cool. It includes a mesh panel on the upper back and side stripe, which should also overheating.
