NWSL, Nike Celebrate Community Connections With New Secondary Kits For All 14 Clubs

Nike and the National Women’s Soccer League are celebrating each club’s connection with their community with new secondary kits for the 2025 season, which were rolled out on Thursday, February 27.

Each of the league’s 14 teams launched a new kit on Thursday, which the NWSL says “[showcase] innovative designs that bring together performance, individuality and club identity.”

“This suite of jerseys, featuring bold designs, vibrant colors and accompanying lifestyle products like the anthem jacket, represent another key step in growing the NWSL’s footprint within the global marketplace,” added NWSL Vice President of Consumer Products Katie Eaton in a press release. “As we continue to elevate our product offerings, we’re focused on blending sport and lifestyle in ways that authentically connect with players and fans alike.”

The new secondary kits follow the league’s “kit reset” from prior to the 2024 season. The primary kits introduced last year will carry forward into 2025.

Here’s a closer look at what each NWSL team will be wearing when the 2025 regular season kicks off on Friday, March 14:

ANGEL CITY FC

Angel City FC’s new secondary kit is a “love letter to Los Angeles” with an all-over pattern features landmarks and symbols of the city. The sleeve cuffs and collar feature the club’s signature Asphalt and Sol Rosa colour palette.

BAY FC

Bay FC’s secondary kit is a white version of the new primary kit they unveiled in early February. The nine lines on the kit represent the nine counties that make up the Bay Area, and they flow together to “[symbolize] the power that comes from embracing the diverse identities and background of the area.”

CHICAGO STARS FC

The “liquid metal-like patterns” on the Chicago Stars’ new secondary kit “symbolizes the relentless intensity that lies within and the team’s ability to adapt to any challenge.” The kit also features the Stars’ new crest, which was launched in October 2024.

HOUSTON DASH

This Houston Dash kit is the first in the club’s history to feature purple. “The Dash is embarking on a new chapter – and the kit represents organizing the chaotic energy to create a cosmic storm and a new beacon of hope for the club. Aiming to ‘Go Beyond’ where they have been, to emerge from the cosmic storm to create a new star(s) in Houston.”

KANSAS CITY CURRENT

The Kansas City Current’s new teal secondary kit features a map view of Kansas City and the Missouri River. The club crest sits over the location of CPKC Stadium, where the team plays its home games.

GOTHAM FC

Gotham FC’s new secondary kit “reflects Gotham FC’s grit, resilience and ambition” and “embraces the pride and individuality that define” the New Jersey/New York region. The club crest is all black, with matte and glossy finishes providing definition between different elements.

NORTH CAROLINA COURAGE

The North Carolina Courage’s new secondary kit is inspired by the lioness in the club crest and their “ability to work together allows them to overcome even the fastest and strongest opponents, making them the ultimate symbol of female power and the divine sisterhood — women lifting women, believing in each other, unstoppable together.” The side taping features subtle rosettes, which are unique marking found on lionesses.

ORLANDO PRIDE

Heading into their 10th season, the Orlando Pride’s new secondary kit is inspired the club’s original jersey from 2016 with its purple base and “Eola Blue” accents on the sleeve cuffs. The iridescent crest in the middle of the chest and the gold star above it are nods to the two pieces of hardware the Pride won in 2024: the NWSL Shield (best regular season record) and the NWSL Championship.

PORTLAND THORNS FC

The Portland Thorns’ new secondary kit is “a celebration of the heart and soul of Portland.” The black base “symbolize[s] the strength and unity within the city, while the glowing reds represent the embers burning at the heart of the team and supporters.”

RACING LOUISVILLE FC

The dark green tones in Racing Louisville’s new secondary kit “symbolize harmony” while the mint green accents are “a nod to Louisville’s entertainment factor.” The side taping features a tonal pattern of lilies, which is inspired by the fleurs-de-lis in the club crest.

SAN DIEGO WAVE FC

The San Diego Wave’s new secondary kit combines deep ocean blue with “tide-like teals” to form an homage to the waters around their home city. “Underneath every Wave, an unstoppable energy runs deep. This club is a force of nature, rising together from the ocean’s depths to lift San Diego to untold heights.”

SEATTLE REIGN FC

The pale gold lines radiating out across the Seattle Reign’s new secondary kit “are inspired by iconic designs across the Seattle skyline, capturing the strength and beauty of looking and reaching upwards. They’re a reminder to hold heads high and create a future that lifts both the club and the community.” The emphasis on gold conveys “optimism for this next chapter in the club’s journey.”

UTAH ROYALS

Like San Diego, the Utah Royals draw inspiration from water for their new secondary kit — in their case, the Great Salt Lake. The pattern on the kit “embodies the color and terrain of Utah.” A secondary crest in the shape of the state of Utah sits on the left chest.

WASHINGTON SPIRIT

The Washington Spirit have turned up the brightness on their new secondary kit. “Inspired by the electrifying support of the club’s fans, the Shockwave kit’s bright colors are emblematic of the amplified energy we harness from the roar of the crowd.” It also features a dark green collar and sleeve cuffs trimmed with neon green.
