ORLANDO, Fla. (Aug. 13, 2026) \u2014\u00a0Orlando City SC today\u00a0unveiled its 2026 adidas Archive Collection Third Kit, presented by Orlando Health, as part of the final adidas x MLS Archive Collection release\u00a0of the year.\u00a0Known\u00a0as\u00a0the \u201cOrlando Original,\u201d\u00a0the new third kit celebrates the city\u2019s rich soccer heritage by combining elements from the Club\u2019s history with inspiration from the 1994 World Cup, which brought the global game to Orlando.<\/p>\n
\u201cSoccer has been part of Orlando\u2019s identity for decades, and this kit is a tribute to the moments that helped build that legacy,\u201d said Pedro Araujo, Orlando City SC Chief Marketing Officer. \u201cFrom the city\u2019s role as a host of the 1994 World Cup to the championship teams that laid the foundation for our club, the Archive Collection celebrates the people and milestones that shaped Orlando soccer and inspires the next generation of supporters to carry that tradition forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drawing inspiration from key chapters in Orlando’s soccer history, the jersey traces a path from the city’s professional roots to the global spotlight of the 1994 World Cup. Boldly emblazoned across the chest, the\u00a0Lions\u00a0wordmark\u00a0is a tribute to Orlando\u2019s first professional soccer team, the Orlando Lions from the 1980s, and\u00a0features a space-age design\u00a0inspired by\u00a0the adidas\u00a0Questra, the 1994 World Cup match ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pattern across the front of the jersey features the iconic adidas Tango design, which served as the foundation for every World Cup ball from 1978\u20131998, including the adidas Questra match ball used during the 1994 tournament. One of the 1994 World Cup host cities, Orlando famously displayed a giant version of the ball atop City Hall, an image commemorated through a custom jock tag on the lower left corner of the jersey. On the back of the neck, is the original Major League Soccer logo, a league that kicked off as a result of the 1994 World Cup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Orlando Original also\u00a0brings back the Club’s historic red colorway for the first time since\u00a0it joined\u00a0MLS,\u00a0a\u00a0nod\u00a0to\u00a0the kits worn by\u00a0Orlando\u00a0City\u2019s 2011\u00a0USL Pro championship-winning\u00a0team.\u00a0Additional design elements,\u00a0including\u00a0the\u00a0tri-lion\u00a0Orlando City crest, further connect the\u00a0kit\u00a0to the city\u2019s soccer story.\u00a0Orlando Health, featured on the lower back, returns as the jersey\u2019s presenting partner, continuing a\u00a0partnership that\u00a0dates back to Orlando City\u2019s inaugural season in 2011. \u200b<\/p>\n
