CHARLOTTE — Charlotte FC officially debuted its secondary Adidas kit (uniform) in a postgame commercial following Super Bowl LVI on Sunday night.
[ SPECIAL SECTION: Charlotte FC ]
Named the Newly Minted Community Kit, the design honors the rich history of Charlotte’s Mint and the significant role the city played in minting early American currency. The kit is black and rounded out with culturally relevant graphic patterns in the neck tape and sleeve cuffs. The color story coincides with the club’s crest as “minted” also meaning “freshly made.”
Consistent with the Carolina Kit revealed in December 2021, the design features Ally as the lead, front-of-jersey sponsor and Centene Corporation as the secondary sleeve partner.
“I know the fans are going to love this unique kit, which is the perfect blend of Charlotte history and Adidas vision,” Andrea Brimmer, Chief Marketing and Public Relations Officer at Ally, said in a news release. “It’s another key step as the excitement builds for the first kick in the Carolinas.”

The new Community Kit will be available for purchase beginning at 9 a.m. on Tuesday at the team store or online at charlottefootballclub.com.
