What They're Saying | Union's New Kit

Philadelphia Union today unveiled the new 2021 secondary kit featuring a never-before-seen style and color template in the team’s ten-year history. The “BY|U” kit is a first for many reasons, the lightning pattern and bold blue and yellow, but most importantly, this jersey was designed start-to-finish by a group of fans, the Union Creators’ Collective.

Below is a collection of some of the best tweets and news coverage of the Union's latest kit.

Are you the kind of soccer fan who dislikes the many bland jerseys in MLS?

Behold the Union's new alternate kit for this year, which blows all those too-plain black or white shirts away:https://t.co/mE8SsOFGtp pic.twitter.com/7KnL06bqjz

the Union never talk about fan service without backing it up. this kit was designed by Union fans who were included deep into the design process two years ago. Like, "sign an NDA" deep. I got to write about their process of making wholly unique kit. https://t.co/FwKy18CXOp https://t.co/yJEEU2lWEg

Not bad at all. And even if I don't particularly love it, this goes to show that if a team puts in the work & pushes back enough they can get something out of adidas that's at least a little different. #DOOP https://t.co/8DlEna18Fo

It's different and unique.

In a league where different and unique jerseys don't happen much, it's a welcome addition. https://t.co/cS30ufbAlG

I like it because there won't be versions in white, black, red, green, orange... https://t.co/wqmHBan5Ni

Wait, so MLS kits CAN be made to look different and fun and original?!!!!

I really like this kit. Or perhaps I just really like that it's not like the rest of the league's cookie cutter drops. https://t.co/2DAxvO1zZ5
