The Philadelphia Union said goodbye to their “XV” kit that was debuted in 2024. Now, the club has had fans eager to see what the Union’s new home kit will look like. Ahead of the official announcement, leaks hit the Union community over the weekend.
That’s So Union
Fans have no choice but to believe this leak is true. That’s because the kit is right on par with Union history. The Philadelphia Union has always dedicated its look to the city and its fans. Look at a few years ago, when the Union debuted the “By U’ era of jersey—a kit designed by fans themselves.
Now, it appears the Union is going for Philly history. A jersey designed to pay homage to the storied history of the city of Philadelphia in the United States. Which is fitting as the country is celebrating its 250th anniversary. Of course, no one can miss Ben Franklin front and center. A prominent member of American history, who has the Union’s raucous support group named after him, the Sons of Ben.
Reactions to the leak have been mixed to say the least. Some fans love it. Others feel it looks too cluttered. Nonetheless, it is likely going to be the Union’s newest edition to the Blue and Gold.
With the Union kicking off the 2026 campaign in just over a week, an official announcement of the kit is anticipated immediately.
