Canadian Premier League side York United is ready to represent their hometown of Toronto with their new kits for 2023, made by Macron.
The kits were unveiled on the evening of Thursday, March 16, on the club’s social media channels. Both feature the logo of beer company Carlsberg on the chest, specifically their non-alcoholic 0.0 brand. This marks their first foray into CanPL sponsorship.
The primary kit features a white base with a tonal pattern of dots of varying sizes running horizontally across the front. Cutting vertically down the center of the shirt are blue and green stripes, which fade out in a diamond pattern as they reach the mid-chest where the sponsor logo is printed.
The raglan sleeves have a different tonal pattern, this time one made of lines forming diamonds and triangles that is “inspired by the heart of Toronto’s entertainment district,” according to CanPL.ca. The collar and sleeve cuffs are solid blue.
The alternate kit has a green body and blue sleeves, accented by a blue V-neck polo collar and green sleeve cuffs. The body of the kit has an embossed geometric pattern inspired by the Royal Ontario Museum.
The repeated texture on both the front and back echoes the sharp edges and various angles of the Royal Ontario Museum, which perfectly represents modernity combined with classicism, and innovation combined with art, which is part of the club’s identity.
