ATLANTA — Atlanta United is set to unveil its new kits on Wednesday night in a preseason match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Wednesday.
Identified by the club as the “The 17s Kit,” the uniforms honor the club’s supporters, who are known as “17s.” The number 17 symbolizes Atlanta United’s inaugural 2017 season.
“We are proud to present The 17s’ Kit, which is dedicated to our loyal supporters who have stood by the club from day one,” Atlanta United President and CEO Garth Lagerwey said. “This kit is reminiscent of Atlanta United’s original primary kit, which we know holds a deep meaning with our supporters and still stands as a symbol of the club’s success. Our hope is that The 17s’ Kit is worn during many more unforgettable nights at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and will establish a legacy of its own.”
The new kits feature Atlanta United’s black and red five stripes, gold accents framing the sides of the shirt, a single gold band on the collar, and more.
