Atlanta United unveils new primary kit
Five stripes are back on the kits of the Five Stripes.
Atlanta United unveiled its new primary kit Wednesday ahead of the friendly against Toluca at Mercedes-benz Stadium.
The kit is similar to the first primary kit the team wore in 2017 and ’18. The biggest difference is instead of the stripes on the jersey going black, red, black, red, black, this year’s are red, black, red, black, red. That sequence mirrors the stripes on the team’s crest.
“We are proud to present The 17s’ Kit, which is dedicated to our loyal supporters who have stood by the
club from day one,” Atlanta United President Garth Lagerwey said in a statement from
the club. “This kit is reminiscent of Atlanta United’s original primary kit, which we know holds a deep meaning with our supporters and still stands as a symbol of
the club’s success. Our hope is that The 17s’ Kit is worn during many more unforgettable nights at Mercedes-benz
Stadium and will establish a legacy of its own.”
The jersey features gold trim at the neckline, gold stripes on the shoulder, with the player’s name and number in gold on the back.
The shorts are black with gold stripes and red trim on the bottom of the back. The shorts also feature Atlanta United’s crest with a gold star
on the right thigh and a gold number on the left thigh. The socks are red with alternating black and gold stripes near the top.
The jersey features two tags.
One, UN17ED written over a black outline of the state of Georgia, is on the back of the neck. The second, WE ARE THE A, with a golden spike going through the large A,
is on the front, on the bottom left.
The jersey can be purchased
at the team store at Atlantic Station. An authentic jersey retails for $159. A replica retails for $89. The jersey can
be customized for an additional charge. The kit can be purchased at the team store at Mercedes-benz Stadium once doors open for the game.
