MLS and adidas Archive Collection Brings Back Iconic Retro Jersey Line

Major League Soccer (MLS) and adidas have officially launched the latest edition of the adidas x MLS Archive Collection, reintroducing fans to the bold, colorful styles of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Featuring third kits for 10 MLS clubs, this nostalgic collection pays homage to the league’s early years through retro-inspired designs, logos, and visual storytelling.

After last year’s debut collection featuring Inter Miami CF, LA Galaxy, LAFC, Portland Timbers, and Sporting Kansas City, the 2024 Archive lineup now includes:

• Charlotte FC

• Colorado Rapids

• Columbus Crew

• D.C. United

• FC Dallas

• Minnesota United

• Nashville SC

• New England Revolution

• San Jose Earthquakes

• Seattle Sounders FC

“Year one of the adidas x MLS Archive Collection was a tremendous success, and we are thrilled to announce its highly anticipated return,” said Rachel Hoagland, MLS SVP of Consumer Products.

Each jersey in the collection is paired with matching adidas Gazelle sneakers, and a limited series of jackets will be released later in the season. The full line is available now at MLSstore.com and adidas.com, as well as select retail locations.

A tribute to club history

This year’s designs were created in collaboration with each club, drawing from local culture, team history, and stylistic elements that defined late ‘90s sportswear. Highlights include:

• Columbus Crew’s classic crest and a new ’96 jocktag marking 30 seasons

• D.C. United’s all-white kit with black stripes and gold trim—recalling its dynasty years

• San Jose Earthquakes’ revival of their “Clash” era design, complete with bold wordmark and scorpion emblem

• Seattle Sounders’ modern reinterpretation of their A-League championship colors and style

“We wanted to capture the nostalgia and personality of each franchise, while connecting past and present through design,” said Edward Martinez, adidas Senior Manager of Sports Marketing, Soccer.

From Nashville SC’s honky tonk throwback to Colorado Rapids’ noble green and gold revival, each kit tells a story—honoring legacy while reimagining it for a new generation of fans.

The Archive Collection is now on sale at:
