LOOK: 10 High Resolution Pics of Sporting KC’s New Jersey
Take a look at the new 2025 Sporting Kansas City primary kit. It’ll be joined by the “Diamonds are Forever” kit from 2024.
On Friday, Sporting Kansas City unveiled their new 2025 primary kit. Dubbed the “One KC” kit, it features the hoops design that has become the team’s brand since the 2021 launch of Hoops 2.0. The jersey is in the familiar “Sporting Blue” and accented with indigo “hoops.”
What is a little more subtle is the “state line” pattern across the hoops. A keen eye will show the familiar border between Kansas and Missouri that divides Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, MO.
If it looks familiar, the kit leaked on Christmas Eve of 2024.

The team announced the launch with a blitz of media. The video from this morning has a blue hue on it but shows the jersey in motion.

Sporting KC also put out other photos on their social media, that weren’t included in the ones sent to the media.

ESPN did not. The truth is probably somewhere in between.
ESPN ranked the kit 24 out of 30 teams, but also gave a mostly white t-shirt from D.C. United their 3rd spot. The words below the jersey were even more harsh, ending with “but at least they are sticking with stripes as they try to establish a visual identity for a club whose brand and culture is mostly forgettable at this point.”
Feels a little personal for the author.
I will say, the jersey looks much better in person, as is often the case. The players wore it during media day, and they pulled it off.

The white on the sides and shoulder don’t stand out nearly as much as they did in the leaked photos. And from a distance, it’s the familiar hoops branding that I personally have an affinity for.
