MLS 2022 Pride Pre-Match Kit
Check out Adidas' MLS 2022 Pride pre-match shirts below.
The Adidas MLS 2022 Pride pre-match shirt is the same for each MLS team, each with monochromatic white club badges and sponsor logos. The design itself combines a black base with a pattern that seems to be loosely inspired by the iconic 1988 Adidas Netherlands home shirt.
Rainbow colors are used to fill in some of the pattern, with each color fading towards black.
The special pre-match shirts will be worn in support of the LGBTQ+ community, a clear statement that the MLS wants to deliver.
Similarly, last year, league-wide pre-match shirts supporting the initiative, Kick Childhood Cancer, were released.
It is not clear when exactly or how long these pre-match tops will be worn, but expect to see them soon.
The Adidas MLS 2022 Pride pre-match shirts retail at a reasonable price of $59.99.
