Philadelphia Union has unveiled its first-ever home game jersey which will be available in stores by the end of next week and available through the FSC Shop.
Driven by a commitment to authenticity, the club succeeded earlier in creating a classic football crest that has been embraced by its supporters. Philadelphia Union has worked to continue that commitment, creating a unique jersey reflective of the rich and vibrant history and traditions, one their supporters can proudly wear.
"There will be no mistaking the Philadelphia Union on the field or anywhere else for that matter with this jersey. We hope our supporters are as pleased with it as we are," said Philadelphia Union President, Tom Veit. “The jersey will be available market-wide at the end of next week but can be pre-ordered today at philadelphiaunion.com for delivery on the first day of availability."
“We are simply ecstatic with the way this home jersey turned out," remarked CEO & Operating Partner Nick Sakiewicz. “It will always be our goal to be true to our heritage and our supporters and offer them gear to wear that will always make them proud to be a part of our soccer family.”
The uniform jersey, very much like the crest, incorporates the colors of the Revolutionary Army and is a salute to the Club's fans and the history of the Greater Philadelphia Region.
Among the features of the club’s first game jersey:
- Midnight blue is the dominant color
- The club crest is centered on the front on a wide panel of Union gold
- Above the right breast, the adidas logo, maker of all official Philadelphia Union gear
- On the right sleeve, there is an MLS patch
- On the left sleeve, there is an American flag
- Accent piping, the light blue color of the flag of Philadelphia, can be found on both the top and bottom of the jersey, as well as the tip of each sleeve
- Back of collar, “Jungite Aut Perite”, Latin for Join or Die, Benjamin Franklin’s rallying cry for colonial unity.
Philadelphia Union’s first-ever First Kick will take place Thursday night March 25, 2010 vs. The Sounders at Qwest Field in Seattle. The home opener is set for Saturday, April 10 vs. D.C. United at Lincoln Financial Field.

not sure what I think of it, actually...
at first I hated it...but now I think it's not that bad...
No the one on the website is photoshopped look at the signal blue line this is an actual picture of the jersey
I dunno, I agree with you that if the shirt was actually this dark it would be bad, but I think it won't look much different than the color of the current Galaxy away shirt, which isn't bad. It might be a little darker, but not much. Don't worry, it will be navy.
Knowing MLS and adidas, the Away shirt will be the exact opposite: mostly gold with a thick navy stripe down the middle. I just wish they would do a mostly sky blue shirt for the Away. I think it would look good.
its not black its navy in the pics
I will have a guess and say the away jersey will either be White, or khaki
Either way, I might get the home kit, looks VERY nice!
Instead of the latin Join or die it says We are One on the inside color area. Its not even the SoB moto. Nice touch I guess if it relates to the idea of the revolutionary war ideal of many becoming one
Either way love my shirt!
