Dubbed the ‘Lakefront kits’, Chicago Fire have unveiled their new adidas primary and secondary jerseys for the 2021 MLS campaign, with designs influenced by the people and the city of Chicago itself.
Chicago Fire get a double dose of new jersey goodness for the coming season, thanks to the reinvented club crest from 2019. The new adidas primary jersey is a navy kit that features striking red accents along the sleeves and sides, as well as a unique jock tag and neck tape. A nod to the people of Chicago, the neck tape on the inside of the jersey proclaims, “Bold. Brave. Big-Hearted,” while the jock tag features the four six-pointed stars from the Chicago flag.
Inspired by the city of Chicago, the Fire’s secondary jersey is a clean white design that showcases the city’s flag with four six-pointed stars that represent major historical events: Fort Dearborn, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 and the Century of Progress Exposition of 1933-34. The jersey, embossed with thin navy horizontal stripes, highlights the popular slogan from well-known Chicago architect Daniel Burnham, “Make No Little Plans,” on the neck tape on the inside of the shirt. The jock tag features a red outline of the Fire’s home stadium, Soldier Field. The white secondary jersey includes a monochromatic navy logo, while showcasing the classic adidas three-stripe pattern that continues onto white shorts, leading to socks of the same colour.
