ORLANDO, Fla. (Aug. 13, 2026) — Orlando City SC today unveiled its 2026 adidas Archive Collection Third Kit, presented by Orlando Health, as part of the final adidas x MLS Archive Collection release of the year. Known as the “Orlando Original,” the new third kit celebrates the city’s rich soccer heritage by combining elements from the Club’s history with inspiration from the 1994 World Cup, which brought the global game to Orlando.
“Soccer has been part of Orlando’s identity for decades, and this kit is a tribute to the moments that helped build that legacy,” said Pedro Araujo, Orlando City SC Chief Marketing Officer. “From the city’s 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.”
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 Lions wordmark is a tribute to Orlando’s first professional soccer team, the Orlando Lions from the 1980s, and features a space-age design inspired by the adidas Questra, the 1994 World Cup match ball.
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 1978–1998, 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.
The Orlando Original also brings back the Club's historic red colorway for the first time since it joined MLS, a nod to the kits worn by Orlando City’s 2011 USL Pro championship-winning team. Additional design elements, including the tri-lion Orlando City crest, further connect the kit to the city’s soccer story. Orlando Health, featured on the lower back, returns as the jersey’s presenting partner, continuing a partnership that dates back to Orlando City’s inaugural season in 2011.
As part of the broader adidas x MLS Archive Collection campaign, Orlando City joins seven other MLS clubs in celebrating the culture, style and moments that helped shape the league's identity. Drawing inspiration from 1990s sports culture and club heritage, the collection connects soccer history with contemporary fashion and supporter culture.
The Orlando City SC 2026 Archive Collection is available now at MLSStore.com, OCMobileShop.com, as well as in-person at The Den at Inter.co Stadium starting Friday, Aug. 14, during normal business hours.
