adidas and MLS Take Inspiration from Retro Soccer Aesthetics
adidas and Major League Soccer (MLS) are partnering to launch a collection of vintage sportswear pieces that transport consumers back to the past. This exclusive range celebrates the retro charm of several renowned MLS clubs, including Inter Miami CF, LA Galaxy, LAFC, Portland Timbers, and Sporting Kansas City, with a lineup of jerseys, jackets, and Gazelle shoes that evoke a nostalgic nod to classic sportswear. The collection also includes a range of branded accessories such as socks, hats, and shorts, each designed to coordinate perfectly with the new jerseys and jackets.
“Third jerseys are always a favorite amongst our passionate fan base, and we couldn’t be more excited to officially announce the first year of the adidas x MLS Archive Collection,” said Rachel Hoagland, MLS SVP of consumer products. “This collection is a modern take on U.S. soccer nostalgia and exemplifies the League’s commitment to honoring the unique heritages that exist across our various clubs.”
Interested consumers can find the new collaborative collection online and at MLS club retail locations.
