Inspired by the Union’s 2019 playoff run, the 2023 secondary kit pulls from that postseason’s memorable tagline “Philly or Nothing,” with a creative look that features a camouflage pattern to mirror the intensity with which the team approached all matches.
In collaboration with the Union Creative Collective, the 2023 “For Philly” kit sees the organization create a fresh take on the initial pattern and produced a jersey that would look great on and off the field, changing out the tonal blues of the original for a gold and signal blue color palette, and adding in an additional artistic texture and signature ‘Philly grit.’ By changing the color palette, the Union also pay homage to the clouds of blue and gold smoke that surround Subaru Park on match days.
With the continued success of the team that led up to their first ever appearance in the MLS Cup Final last season, the Union, in partnership with Adidas, re-visited the moment as a homage to when the club's current run of form began to take shape on the pitch.
