The Chicago Fire 2012 home shirt brings more blue into the kit than previous editions.  For the first time the traditional contrast panel across the chest is in Fire Blue. It extends across the sides and into the sleeves allowing for the ClimaCool mesh to be placed for ventilation and moisture management.  Formotion technology cut lines allow the wearer freedom to move without the jersey being constricting. A traditional collar returns to the kit for the first time since the club’s 1998-99 seasons.

The open neck placket incorporates the traditional white that has been part of the Fire home kit since their inception in 1998.  White adidas 3-Stripes, adidas corporate logo, back collar and on the sleeves continue the use of white on the primary kit.
