Pride Jerseys: Adidas released Pride pre-match jerseys for all MLS teams for Pride Month, continuing an annual tradition since 2020.
Design & Partnership: The 2023 collection, featuring a white shirt with a rainbow camo pattern, was designed in collaboration with Queer designer Rich Mnisi and includes "Love Unites" lettering.
Purpose & Availability: The jerseys, to be worn by MLS athletes before Pride Games from May to August, retail for $65 USD, and reflect the league's commitment to inclusivity.

As every year since 2020, Adidas released Pride pre-match jerseys for all MLS teams to support the LGBTQIA+ movement, in celebration of Pride Month in June.

Designed to make a bold statement, MLS athletes will proudly don these vibrant kits before Pride Games, which will be held from May through August. This initiative reflects the league's ongoing commitment to fostering a more inclusive and accepting environment for all individuals.

For the 2023 Pride Pack, which includes black tees for each club in addition to the pre-match kits, Adidas partnered with Queer South African designer Rich Mnisi. Known for loud and bold graphics, Mnisi expresses himself in a way that doesn't fit the perceived gender binary: He dares to reimagine a world where the freedom of self-expression exists without bias.

Check out the Adidas MLS 2023 Pride pre-match shirt below.

Adidas MLS's 2023 pride pre-match shirt has a fresh yet bold look. It is mainly white with a rainbow camo pattern on the shoulders.

Instead of each team's main sponsors, the rainbow lettering "Love Unites" is on the front of Adidas MLS's 2023 pride pre-match football shirt. The main sponsor can be found on the back top instead.
