Columbus Crew 2023 Away Kit Released
Feb 15, 2023, by John
The new Columbus Crew away jersey was released today. Officially called the VeloCITY kit, it is made by Adidas and will be worn in the 2023 and 2024 MLS seasons.
The inspiration for the VeloCITY kit was movement and speed as the Club look to take the energy and passion of their home city, Columbus, Ohio.
Columbus Crew 2023 Away Kit
This is the Columbus Crew 2023 away jersey, made by Adidas.
The Adidas Columbus Crew 2023 away shirt is predominantly black, incorporating yellow into the design in the form of the side stripes, hem, and back panels. Furthermore, the Adidas stripes on the shoulders and detailing on the sleeve ends are yellow.
What makes the new Columbus Crew 2023 away kit unique is the pattern. The checkerboard design comes with offset and grain representing speed, velocity, and movement – attributes that embody both the club and the city of Columbus.
Following that theme, the club's mantra of "Never Stand Still" is emblazoned in yellow down the side, while "The Crew" moniker appears in italics on the jock tag position at the hip.
Black shorts and socks round off the look of the new Columbus Crew 2023 away uniform by Adidas.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
