Sporting Kansas City have unveiled their 2026 secondary jersey, the 18th & Vine Kit, a stunning tribute to Kansas City’s historic jazz district. Designed by adidas, this kit is more than just a uniform—it’s a celebration of the music, culture, and community that helped shape a nation’s rhythm from the heart of the Midwest.
The 18th & Vine district is the birthplace of Kansas City jazz, home to the American Jazz Museum and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Sporting KC’s new kit channels that rich history with neon-inspired script, rhythmic patterns, and glowing accents that evoke the vibrant signage lighting up the neighborhood streets. Inside the collar, sheet music from the iconic song “Kansas City (Here I Come)” by Wilbert Harrison is featured as a hidden detail.
The kit launch was highlighted by a 45-second video featuring Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, connecting the jersey to the broader cultural legacy of the 18th & Vine neighborhood.
The 18th & Vine Kit is now available through the MLS Store and SportingStyle, the club’s official retail outlet. Both authentic player versions and replica fan jerseys are available, along with a full line of accompanying gear including scarves, hats, and training apparel.
This release is part of MLS Jersey Week 2026, where all 30 clubs debuted new adidas kits. Sporting KC’s 18th & Vine Kit stands apart as one of the most culturally meaningful jerseys of the season—a jersey that tells a story far beyond the pitch, one of resilience, artistry, and community pride.
For Sporting KC fans and jersey collectors alike, the 18th & Vine Kit is a must-own piece that honors Kansas City’s soul. Grab yours today.
