The Orlando Pride revealed its new secondary jersey this week, and it’s meant as a tribute to the 10th anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting with a design featuring interlocking ribbons representing community strength.
The Unity Kit, presented by Orlando Health, will be the team’s secondary jersey through the 2027 National Women’s Soccer League season. The Pride will donate $20,000 from jersey sales to The Center Orlando (Website), which provides support services for the LGBT+ community through its Orlando United Resiliency Services (OURS) program.
The jersey features a jock tag showing a dove carrying an olive branch. The Pride’s signature purple appears on the name and number embellishments and along the cuff and collar.
Orlando Health returns as the jersey front partner, continuing a relationship that started when the team launched in 2016. Publix remains the lower-back jersey partner, and Heart of Florida United Way returns as the sleeve partner.
The Unity Kit is available at ShopOrlandoPride.com. The team is hosting a jersey launch party Thursday, February 26, night at The Final Whistle at Thornton Park Pub starting at 6 p.m. The event will include a DJ, silent disco, activations, and giveaways. Players Julie Doyle, Oihane, and Hannah Anderson will attend, along with Head Coach Seb Hines and VP of Soccer Operations and General Manager Caitlin Carducci.
Jersey purchases at the launch party include a free Orlando United patch while supplies last. The kit will be available at The Den starting Friday during normal business hours.
The Pride opens its season March 15 at 4 p.m. against Seattle Reign FC at Inter&Co Stadium.
