Atlanta United unveils new Olympics-inspired kit ahead of 2026 season

Dubbed "The Spirit of '96," Atlanta United's new kit honors the 1996 Olympic Games as the city returns to the global stage at the 2026 World Cup.

Some are saying it’s Atlanta United’s best secondary kit yet. I mean, look at this beauty!

From the press release: The Spirit of ‘96 blends the bold colors of the Centennial Olympiad with Atlanta United’s core look, as the green is a nod to Atlanta’s tree canopy while the gold represents the club’s signature style and symbolizes victory on the world stage.

Other Olympic-inspired notes include the placement of a star-filled Atlanta United gold medal crest over the heart of the kit, Roman numerals MCMXCVI – MMXXVI (1996 – 2026) placed inside the neck tag as a symbol of connectivity between Atlanta’s global sporting events, and laurel wreaths on the back neck tag representing victory and honor.

The kits go on sale Wednesday, February 11. A+ job by the club to produce a kit design like this. Let us know what you think!
