D.C. United 2023 Away Kit

The Adidas DC United 2023 away shirt is set to boast a design inspired by the cherry blossom. Many famous sights in the area are filled with cherry trees.

Japan is most famous for cherry blossoms, but DC United's home city Washington, D.C., has a special relationship to cherry blossoms as well.

The National Cherry Blossom Festival is celebrated in Washington, D.C., every spring

Every spring, The National Cherry Blossom Festival is celebrated in Washington, D.C., commemorating the March 27, 1912, gift of Japanese cherry trees from Mayor Yukio Ozaki of Tokyo City to the city of Washington, D.C.

Nothing about the exact design of the Adidas DC United 2023 away shirt is known yet. However, in 2019, the club already had plans for a Cherry Blossom jersey.

Back then, three design sketches were leaked. One in white, and two in pink. The club did not dare to release a pink kit back then.

MLS 2023 designs should be finalized these days

In fact, we think that the design of the jersey is finalized in the coming weeks. Adidas' important jerseys are usually finished 18 months ahead of their release.
