Major League Soccer and adidas are running it back — and this time, they're taking even more teams on a journey through time.
MLS officially dropped the latest wave of the adidas x MLS Archive Collection, featuring brand-new third kits for 10 MLS clubs that celebrate the bold style, nostalgia, and swagger of late-‘90s and early-2000s soccer. Alongside these throwback-inspired jerseys come matching Gazelle shoes and retro-style jackets, blending fashion, history, and hype in a way only adidas can.
Last year’s debut collection brought serious heat from clubs like Inter Miami, LA Galaxy, and Portland Timbers — and fans loved it. Now in year two, the Archive Collection is going coast-to-coast with a fresh drop that honors iconic logos, legacy crests, and vintage design elements from MLS’ golden age.
“Third jerseys are always a favorite amongst our fans,” said MLS SVP of Consumer Products Rachel Hoagland. “This collection’s take on soccer nostalgia exemplifies the League’s commitment to honoring the unique culture and history that exists across our clubs and communities.”
This year's Archive Collection features reimagined third kits for Charlotte FC, Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew, D.C. United, FC Dallas, Minnesota United, Nashville SC, New England Revolution, San Jose Earthquakes, and Seattle Sounders FC. Each jersey pulls inspiration from a different era — but they all come with a modern twist that makes them wearable on the streets, in the stands, or anywhere the squad rolls.
adidas Senior Manager of Sports Marketing, Edward Martinez, called the project “a time capsule collection sprinkled with reminders of golden eras.” The goal: mix streetwear, sport, and legacy to deliver fan gear that doesn’t just rep a team — it reps an era.
Charlotte FC The Queen City gets the royal treatment with a kit that nods to Carolina roots and Charlotte’s rise as a bold, new soccer town. It’s heritage redefined.
Colorado Rapids Celebrating 30 years as an MLS original, the Rapids throw it back to their OG noble green and gold colorway — a subtle flex of legacy and rebirth.
Columbus Crew One of MLS’ founding clubs, the Crew honor their 30-season journey with a revival of their original crest, a retro wordmark, and a fresh ’96 jocktag. Timeless.
D.C. United The dynasty that helped shape the league brings back the swagger with an all-white kit featuring iconic black stripes and gold trim — pure ‘96 vibes, honoring four MLS Cups worth of dominance.
FC Dallas The past and present collide as Dallas revives the club’s original name and the classic black stallion crest — a galloping nod to their 30-season ride.
Minnesota United Drawing from Minnesota’s soccer history, this kit leans into old-school Loons script and adds a stylized PK design that blends local pride with retro flair.
Nashville SC The Music City goes full honky tonk with a kit that captures the unmistakable energy of ‘90s Nashville. It doesn’t just honor the era — it wears it.
New England Revolution This unapologetic throwback brings back the original Revolution wordmark, the bold colors of the '90s, and front-facing numbers — a signature style that’s finally back.
San Jose Earthquakes Channeling the chaos of the club’s “Clash” era, San Jose drops a kit with a fierce scorpion, bold retro wordmark, and the untamed attitude of MLS’ wild early days.
Seattle Sounders FC Inspired by the Sounders’ A-League glory days, Seattle’s kit is bursting with vibrant color and retro graphics, capped with the modern-day Orca crest to bridge the past and present.
And the best part? The Archive Collection is just getting started. adidas and MLS confirmed that the series will return next season — bringing even more clubs and throwback moments into the spotlight.
When you win the biggest prize in football, you celebrate big. And the Philadelphia Eagles went massive with their Super Bowl LIX Championship Ring — a 41-millimeter, 12-carat, 140-gram masterpiece that doesn’t just shine — it speaks.
Unveiled during a private ceremony in Philly, this ring is more than a symbol. It’s a story. One that starts in Brazil, peaks on Bourbon Street, and ends with over a million fans flooding Broad Street in celebration. Every single element of the ring has a purpose, a stat, or a message behind it. Here's how the Eagles turned their unforgettable 2024 season into wearable history.
From first glance, this ring hits hard. The bezel features 145 diamonds — a tribute to the Eagles’ 145 points scored during the postseason, setting a new NFL playoff record. Sitting atop the ring, the words “WORLD CHAMPIONS” are crafted with 40 points worth of diamonds, marking the 40 points the Eagles put up in their Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Just behind the Eagles’ logo are two Vince Lombardi Trophies, representing the franchise’s two Super Bowl titles — Super Bowl LII and the most recent LIX — both under owner Jeffrey Lurie. Inside the trophies is one carat of marquise-shaped diamonds, symbolizing a dominant defense that ranked first in total yards allowed per game (278.4), and a historic ground game led by Saquon Barkley, who racked up an NFL-record 2,504 rushing yards (including playoffs), becoming the league’s rushing champion.
Surrounding the top of the ring are 18 green stones — each one representing a win in the Eagles’ remarkable 2024 campaign. Tying an NFL record with 18 combined regular-season and postseason victories, the team tied a franchise best with 14 wins in the regular season before sweeping three home playoff games and capping it all off with the Super Bowl LIX title.
On one side of the ring, the Super Bowl LIX logo is placed between the Eagles wordmark and the game’s final score of 40-22. Embedded within the Super Bowl logo are 10 points of diamonds, commemorating the Eagles’ 10-game winning streak during the regular season — a franchise record that set the tone for a championship run.
The opposite side of the ring features each player’s last name and jersey number in diamonds, with a background design of Lincoln Financial Field, saluting the fans who packed the stadium all year. For team staff members, the rings instead feature the Eagles logo in the center of the same layout.
What truly sets this ring apart is the innovation. Built with a hidden button mechanism, each ring has wings that open from the bezel — the first of its kind in championship ring history. Once the wings spread open, they reveal the inscription: “YOU CAN’T BE GREAT WITHOUT THE GREATNESS OF OTHERS.” This powerful message reflects head coach Nick Sirianni’s season-long mantra of unity and selflessness — the heartbeat of the team’s culture.
On the wings themselves are 0.9 carats of diamonds, a nod to the six sacks and three turnovers delivered by the defense in Super Bowl LIX — one of the most dominant defensive performances the big game has ever seen. Players like Josh Sweat (2.5 sacks), Milton Williams (2 sacks), and Jordan Davis (1 sack) brought relentless pressure, while Cooper DeJean (pick-six), Zack Baun (interception), and Williams (fumble recovery) contributed to the trio of takeaways.
At the top of the ring’s button mechanism, five diamonds shine, each one representing a player who put points on the board in the Super Bowl. Jalen Hurts led the way with three total touchdowns. A.J. Brown added a 12-yard touchdown catch. DeVonta Smith hauled in a 46-yard score. Cooper DeJean struck with a pick-six, and kicker Jake Elliott tied the Super Bowl record for most field goals made.
Hidden inside the ring is a stamp of the Brazilian flag, commemorating the Eagles’ season-opening win against the Packers in São Paulo — the first NFL game ever played in South America. Beneath that, the words “TOUGH. DETAILED. TOGETHER.” — Coach Sirianni’s guiding values — are engraved as a constant reminder of what defined their locker room.
Also etched inside are the scores of all four playoff games and the number “145” in tribute to the Eagles’ record-setting playoff point total. Players' rings even include their signatures on the underside, while staff rings feature the phrase: “FROM BRAZIL, TO BOURBON, TO BROAD” — the perfect summary of the team’s championship journey from opening kickoff to parade confetti.
Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie summed it up best:
“This ring represents the commitment, determination, and sacrifice of every member of our organization... It will forever serve as a reminder of just how magical the 2024 season was for our organization and fans.
The Eagles didn’t just design a ring. They built a tribute to dominance, unity, and grit — with every carat, every detail, every hidden gem. And once again, Philly proves: when it comes to UNISWAG, they don’t just win — they leave a legacy.
— Kennesaw State Football (@kennesawstfb) July 16, 2025
The Kennesaw State Owls are taking flight with an aggressive and symbolic uniform design. The most eye-catching element of the new uniforms is The wing pattern boldly spread across the shoulders. Golden feathers stretch over a black base, representing both the “Owls” nickname and a fearless elevation of their brand identity. The wing design isn’t just aesthetic.
The primary uniform features a sleek black jersey with vibrant gold numbers outlined in silver, complemented by the word “OWLS” stitched across the chest in matching bold lettering. Kennesaw State’s iconic “KS” logo is proudly placed on the helmet, which sticks to a matte black base, adding a stealthy feel to the entire set.
The white uniform features striking black wings on the shoulders outlined in gold, adding a bold and dynamic look. Across the chest, the Kennesaw State wordmark is proudly displayed, while the numbers are black with gold outlines, creating a clean and cohesive design that ties the whole look together.
Subtle but sharp accents like the gold collar, embroidered conference and Adidas logos, and silver stitching give the uniform extra dimension. It’s clear these weren’t just designed—they were engineered with purpose. From the shoulder wings to the font and finish, every piece reflects a program that’s serious about taking the next step.
the Los Angeles Chargers delivered one of the boldest uniform drops of the NFL offseason, unveiling two fresh alternate looks—“Charger Power” and “Super Chargers”—plus the long-awaited debut of powder blue pants to their primary kit.
From the revolutionary “Air Coryell” days of the late ‘70s to the hard-hitting navy era of the 2000s, the Chargers are tapping into their past while adding a serious dose of modern swag.
For the first time in franchise history, the Bolts are going gold—and they’re doing it right.
Dubbed Charger Power, this new alternate uniform features a vibrant gold jersey, paired with gold pants and the team’s current white helmet. It’s a bold look that honors the energy of the Air Coryell era, when Hall of Famer Dan Fouts and his legendary trio of Winslow, Joiner, and Jefferson transformed the game.
The gold jersey pops with white numbers outlined in powder blue, and the phrase Charger Power stitched on the collar adds an era-defining touch. Though gold jerseys have been sold in retail before, this is the first time the team will take the field in them—specifically in Week 7 against the Colts for Legends Weekend at SoFi.
From Derwin James Jr. to Tuli Tuipulotu, current Chargers are hyped:
“If you’re going to do gold, the way we did it with all gold, it looks amazing,” said James. “Once I put it on, it looked amazing. It’s one of my favorites. It’s fire,” added Tuipulotu.
Next up: a return to one of the most iconic looks in franchise history.
The Super Chargers uniform is a full navy-on-navy set—helmet, jersey, and pants—all updated with modern cuts while staying true to the look worn by Chargers legends like LaDainian Tomlinson, Junior Seau, Rodney Harrison, Antonio Gates, and Shawne Merriman.
The navy helmet features the bolt, now more streamlined, along with a player’s number on the side—a clean nod to the early 2000s. The jersey is loaded with detail: white numbers trimmed in gold, smaller bolts on the shoulders, and Super Chargers stitched across the collar.
“When we came out in those navies, you knew what time it was,” Merriman said. “That jersey meant pain for the other team.”
The Chargers will debut the Super Chargers look at home in Week 8 vs. the Vikings. The navy set returns again in Week 13 against the Raiders.
Rounding out the drop: powder blue pants are officially part of the Chargers’ primary uniform kit.
While the Bolts have already dominated with their powder blue tops since the 2020 redesign, fans and players alike have been asking: Where are the powder blue pants?
Now, they’re here—and they look clean.
“They are sick,” said kicker Cameron Dicker. “All the blue just looks so good.”
These pants can now be paired with either the home powder blue jerseys or the road white tops, adding more versatility to what is already widely regarded as one of the best uniform sets in the league.
From top to bottom, the Chargers have once again positioned themselves as trendsetters in NFL uniform culture.
Three distinct looks. All tied to moments that made the franchise legendary. And now, they’re ready to make new memories—in gold, navy, and powder blue.
The Atlanta Falcons are ready to shine under the lights—and they’re doing it in style. The team announced that their fan-favorite throwback uniforms will return for three prime-time games during the 2025 regular season. The move not only taps into Atlanta’s rich football heritage but also signals a growing trend: when the Falcons go throwback, they win.
Atlanta will first suit up in the retro fits on October 13 in a Week 6 home matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m. ET on ESPN, marking the Falcons’ first home prime-time game of the season.
The throwbacks will make a second appearance in Week 15 on December 11, when the Falcons travel to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime.
The final throwback game is set for Week 17, as the Falcons host the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football (December 29), closing out their throwback slate in front of a national audience once again.
It’s not just a style statement—it’s a winning formula. Last season, the Falcons went 3-0 in their throwback uniforms, notching key victories against divisional rivals and finishing the look off with a dominant performance over the Giants:
With a clean vintage design, black helmets, red jerseys, and white pants, the Falcons' throwback look continues to connect with longtime fans while energizing the current squad on the field.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are throwing it all the way back. To celebrate their historic 50th season in the NFL, the Bucs are bringing back a look that helped define their identity from day one, the iconic 1976 uniforms.
Set to debut during the 2025 season opener against the New York Jets on September 21, the recreated kits mark the first time since the team’s inaugural season that the original uniform design will be worn in a game. While fans have seen the Creamsicle palette make return appearances in throwback games over the years, this drop is different. This is history reborn—down to the stitching.
“The '76 Jersey represents a piece of Buccaneers history and serves as a tribute to the generations of fans and players who shaped this franchise,” said Bucs COO Brian Ford. “As we launch into our 50th season, we're proud to reintroduce The '76 Jersey and the tradition it embodies.”
The 1976 throwback uniform is a full replica of the Bucs’ original design:
White jersey with bold orange numbers outlined in red
Classic sleeve striping—one orange stripe bordered by two red stripes
White pants, white helmet with the original Bucco Bruce logo, and striped socks
A special 50th season Creamsicle patch added to mark the milestone year
And in a subtle—but-nostalgic twist, the inside of the collar features the phrase “Hey! Hey! Tampa Bay!” in tribute to the team’s original fight song, which debuted in 1979 during the Bucs' first playoff run.
While the look stays true to its 1976 roots, the uniform itself is far from outdated. In partnership with Nike, the team’s design incorporates the latest in performance innovation using the Nike Vapor F.U.S.E. chassis—a lightweight, stretch-woven system designed for optimal mobility and breathability.
Made from 85% recycled materials, the jersey also features Nike’s Dri-FIT technology and laser-cut ventilation zones, combining sustainability and high performance without sacrificing heritage.
When the Buccaneers first took the field in 1976, few could have predicted the journey the franchise would take through long rebuilds, dramatic turnarounds, and Super Bowl championships. This 50th season isn’t just about the wins, though. It’s about honoring the evolution of the brand, the city, and the fanbase that’s grown alongside the team.
By reviving the '76 uniforms in a game setting for the first time in nearly five decades, the Bucs are giving a new generation of fans a tangible connection to their roots—while letting the OGs relive a moment that started it all.
San Diego State Football just dropped a uniform refresh that pays homage to its heritage while dialing up the clean, bold aesthetic. The Aztecs have streamlined their look for the upcoming season, delivering a design that’s rooted in tradition but built for today’s game.
The most noticeable change is The removal of the “San Diego State” wordmark across the chest. This subtle but impactful update allows the rest of the uniform to breathe, giving the jersey a cleaner and more modern silhouette. It's a move that leans into simplicity and lets the details do the talking.
One of those standout details is the iconic Aztec Calendar pattern, woven directly into the shoulders of the jersey and running down the side of the pants. This design element has long been a signature for the program, paying tribute to the cultural legacy that defines SDSU athletics. We will see the same helmet shell that features the design.
Both the black and white base uniforms now feature striking red collars—a sharp contrast that brings a burst of energy to the neckline. Sitting front and center on the "V" of the neck, is the SDSU logo, giving the look a branded finish that ties it all together.
Color-wise, the black jersey pops with red numbers outlined in white, while the white jersey flips the palette with black numbers outlined in red. It’s a balanced, high-contrast scheme that ensures visibility and style no matter where the Aztecs are playing.
This update doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—it sharpens what was already one of college football’s most unique looks. With cultural significance, streamlined design, and renewed energy, SDSU’s updated uniforms are a perfect blend of tradition and swagger.
The islands just got even tougher. Hawai’i Football has dropped their new black Nike uniform set for the 2025 season, and it’s everything you’d expect from the Rainbow Warriors: clean, culturally rich, and straight-up intimidating.
This look stays true to the program’s roots while bringing fresh energy to the field under the lights. From the "HAWAI‘I" wordmark stitched across the chest to the Polynesian pattern accents, every detail on the new uniforms is intentional and symbolic of the islands' heritage and strength. paying tribute back to the days of Colt Brennan.
The base is a black jersey that lets the signature green and silver tones pop throughout the design. “HAWAI‘I” stretches across the chest in a bold tribal-style font, filled with traditional island motifs and trimmed in silver. The numbers — oversized and outlined in green — feature subtle angular cuts, nodding to native tattooing styles and patterns.
On the shoulders, triangle-patterned tapa designs in green and teal pay homage to Polynesian culture, offering both a nod to the past and a modern, aggressive edge.
The helmet is where the culture really shows out. A glossy black shell features a vertical feathered pattern, with the word “BRADDAHOOD” on the back bumper.
Expect to see these new black unis become a fan favorite — and a recruiting weapon — as the Rainbow Warriors continue to evolve under the lights of Mānoa.
The New Orleans Saints are stepping into the 2025 season with a fresh look up top. The team revealed a brand-new white alternate helmet, joining the growing list of NFL squads expanding their lid lineup under the league’s relaxed alternate helmet rules.
The new shell stays true to the Saints’ identity while introducing a fresh, modern twist. It features a crisp white base adorned with subtle black flecks, giving the helmet a speckled texture that fans have already compared to vanilla ice cream, a playful nod to New Orleans’ King Cake culture. The iconic gold fleur-de-lis logo remains front and center on both sides, while a bold gold stripe runs down the middle of the helmet, embossed with repeated fleur-de-lis symbols for added depth and detail. That stripe is bordered by two thin black lines for contrast, and the look is finished off with gold facemasks that tie the whole aesthetic together.
Unlike the Saints’ black alternate helmet introduced in 2022, the white version drops the fade or taper effect and keeps things sharp and symmetrical.
The Saints confirmed that the white helmet will debut with their Color Rush uniforms — a fan-favorite combo of white jersey and white pants, accented with gold numbers and black-and-gold trim.
Previously, the black helmet was always paired with the Color Rush set. It made four appearances over the last three seasons but never in the Superdome. With the arrival of the white shell, that lid might now rotate into black-on-black combos, giving the Saints more flexibility and, hopefully, better results.
— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) July 9, 2025
Washington is turning back the clock in a big way for the 2025 season. On the 93rd anniversary of the franchise's founding, the team officially unveiled a brand-new alternate uniform set inspired by their iconic Redskins “Super Bowl Era” — a nod to the glory days that brought Washington three championships in the 1980s and early 1990s.
The alternate uniforms includes a throwback-inspired helmet that will be worn three times during the season, starting with a primetime debut in Week 9 on Sunday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks (Nov. 2). Fans will also see the set in action Week 13 vs. the Denver Broncos (Nov. 30) and on Christmas Day vs. the Dallas Cowboys (Week 17).
These alternates are rooted in history, pulling direct inspiration from the looks worn during Washington’s Super Bowl runs in 1982, 1987, and 1991. The white jersey is clean and classic, featuring burgundy numbers outlined in gold and gold stripes on the sleeves. Nameplates are burgundy with gold outlining — a subtle detail that stays true to the era.
Paired with burgundy pants that include gold and white striping, plus matching socks, the full uniform is a head-to-toe tribute to the franchise’s golden years as the washington redskins.
“We are excited to celebrate Washington's rich history with these iconic, Super Bowl Era uniforms this season,” said Commanders Team President Mark Clouse. “Ever since Josh Harris and our ownership group acquired the team back in 2023, they've placed great value in finding ways to connect the past and present and pay homage to those that made the Burgundy & Gold what it is today."
He continued, “These uniforms honor the most successful era of our franchise — one that reflects a culture of excellence and encompasses many historical moments and special memories amongst our fanbase. We look forward to bringing that nostalgic feeling back to fans, while incorporating a modern feel for our next generation of fans.”
