Orlando Pride Unveil New Home Kits Ahead of 2025 NWSL Season
The new home Decennial Kit has a great look, but there is an obvious detail that will bother many purists.
The leaked images do not do the Orlando Pride’s new home kit, dubbed the “Decennial Kit,” justice. The Pride unveiled the new uniforms today, showing off the new home purple threads with Eola Blue accents, drawing inspiration from the club’s original kits from the inaugural 2016 season for Orlando’s 10th year in the league.
The purple kit is trimmed with the Eola Blue on the sleeve cuffs. The crest on the front will stand out for several reasons.
- The crest is irridescent gold and purple. The irridescence is to commemorate the Pride’s 2024 double of winning both the NWSL Shield and NWSL Championship.
- The crest has a gold star above it, commemorating the team’s NWSL Championship in 2024.
- The crest is in the middle.
Yeah, it’s in the middle. Just like the leaked kit showed. I generally don’t hold strong opinions on soccer jerseys, as I find most of them to be fine, with a few of them truly great and some just plain awful, however, I need that crest to be over the heart, especially coming off a championship. Nevertheless, the badge is where it is, smack dab in the center, topped by a gold star, and then…the Nike logo is at the top of that center stack. I’m not crazy about that either, but at least it’s a bit muted.
Pride fans will get their first chance to buy the kit in person at the club’s 10 Years of Pride Kickoff Party Sunday at Inter&Co Stadium. It is already available on ShopOrlandoPride.com. The first 200 fans in attendance at the 10 Years of Pride Kickoff Party to purchase the jersey or add customization to their 2025-26 kit will receive a complimentary patch. Season Ticket Members will have the opportunity to enter the party early at 2 p.m., as this will
be their first opportunity to pick up their complimentary jerseys as a part of their 2025 benefits package. The general public will be able to enter at 3 p.m.
“This kit is special in so many ways,” Orlando Pride Chief Marketing Officer Pedro Araujo said in a club press release. “From honoring 10 years of Pride by taking inspiration from our very first kit design in 2016, to celebrating the most historic season in NWSL history and adding our first championship star. We are so excited to share this kit with our fans to kick off the 2025 season.”
In addition to the ubiquitous Lake Eola fountain badge, the jersey also features a new wordmark in the jock tag at the bottom right that commemorates the team’s 10th season. The number 10 is cleverly embedded within the word “Pride.”
Unlike the leaked kit that many have seen online, the Decennial Kit’s shirt is a beautiful shade of purple and a pattern that, while I have no idea what it’s called, adds a lot of depth and texture. It’s another knockout of a kit for the Pride, who have truly stepped up their game in recent years in that department. It would be one of my favorites with the badge in its “proper” place, but it’s still one of the better ones and hopefully not everyone is as picky about the badge location as I am.
Here’s a look at the new duds:
