ORLANDO, Fla. (Feb. 18, 2023) -- Leading into the 2023 Major League Soccer (MLS) season, Orlando City SC has revealed its new primary jersey, the 2023-24 The Wall Kit. Inspired by the thousands that pack the Club’s first-of-its-kind safe-standing supporter section at Exploria Stadium, the kit draws its namesake from the section’s moniker and pays homage to the fans that rally week in and week out to defend our fortress.
The Wall Kit is now available for purchase at The Den at Exploria Stadium or on OCMobileShop.com, with options to pick up at The Den. Fans around the globe can also purchase The Wall Kit on MLSStore.com.
“Our supporters have continuously served as the heartbeat of our stadium, from the moment they begin their march down Church Street to the continuous drumbeat that paces our players all 90 minutes,” Orlando City SC CMO Pedro Araujo said. “We are proud to unveil a kit that represents and pays tribute to the loyalty, passion and energy that they bring each match. We’re excited to have our fans ‘Man Every Wall’ - from the front row to the top of stadium and all around our 360-degree bowl - as we get the season underway and show why our supporters are the best in Major League Soccer.”
The jersey features the Club’s iconic purple and — the year after Orlando City hoisted the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup trophy — incorporates metallic gold embellishments that carry through the jersey, shorts and socks.
Adorning the front of the jersey is a pattern replicating that of a wall, an embodiment of the Lions’ supporters: the individuals that come together, brick by brick, to form an object stronger than the sum of its parts. Designs on the stitching, neck and Jock Tag reminds all fans to “Man Every Wall”, a long-lasting Club rallying cry for everyone, in all 25,000 of the venue’s seats, to unite and bring the energy of the Central Florida community in supporting its home Club.
Proudly displayed in metallic gold across the front of the jersey is the Club’s presenting partner, Orlando Health, marking the 13th-consecutive year that the Official Medical Team is featured on both the primary and secondary jerseys.
The jersey was unveiled by the Club’s aforementioned supporters, including members of Ruckus and Iron Lion Firm, as well as First Team players Antonio Carlos and Favian Loyola, on Saturday night at the Club’s final Kickoff to Soccer event, the Block Party at the Wall, presented by Orlando Health.
The Lions begin their 2023 regular season, presented by Orlando Health, on Saturday, Feb. 25 at Exploria Stadium, hosting the New York Red Bulls in a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff. As previously announced, general public tickets for The Wall have sold out for the season opener, with a limited number available to new full or half Season Ticket Members.
Tickets for that match, as well as information on Season Ticket Membership and group ticket options, can be purchased here.
