The rumors are true: The shirt accidentally leaked by the auto-generated confirmation of a promotional is the official away kit for New York City FC.
The orange-on-orange-on-orange scheme with a lighting bolt down the middle and an indigo fade down the left isn’t like any other shirt in MLS. We’ll even venture that nobody outside of the design atelier at the ADIDAS headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, saw this one coming.
The shirt is now available for sale at the MLS Store.
As we reported yesterday, the shirt isn’t the blaze orange you see when woodcock season rolls around—that color is reserved for NYCFC’s classically handsome training kits.
