NWSL reveals new jerseys for all 14 teams ahead of 2025 season
With only two weeks left until the start of the 2025 NWSL season, and the league is showing off its new threads. On Thursday, the NWSL teams unveiled its new secondary jerseys, debuting the bold looks that players will wear on the field this coming seaosn.
Designed by Nike, the kits show off a wide variety of colors, patterns and regional themes. Here's a look at the new jerseys for all 14 of the NWSL teams.
Angel City's 2025 secondary jersey is probably the most location-based of the new kits. The off-white jersey is covered in Los Angeles landmarks, from the monuments (Santa Monica Pier, Griffith Observatory) to the lifestyle (palm trees, fruit stands). The club's signature pink is used in accents on the uniform to pull everything together.
With the club in its second year, the team went with a relatively simple but still eye-catching design. The jersey features a striped, swooping pattern with a subtle texture to it. But, perhaps unexpectedly, the most striking thing is the centered logo, something that certainly marks a change from past NWSL kits.
The newly-named Chicago Stars FC is fresh off a rebrand of its own, and will be sporting a kit to match. The Stars will wear this marbled dark kit at away matchups, with red accents and the pop of its signature blue on the socks.

In the years since rebranding as NJ/NY Gotham FC, has leaned into the minty blue associated with its past. This year's secondary jersey is no different, with the color paying homage to the team's old name, Sky Blue. The new kit also introduces a new black monochrome crest that stands out well on the blue.
Unlike other teams, Gotham doesn't have a name for this kit yet; instead, the team is letting the fans decide.

Like many Houston teams before it, the Houston Dash have leaned into the area's space roots with the "Cosmic Storm" kit. With a magenta-tinged galaxy pattern, the Dash are leaning towards alternate colors, away from its typical orange and black, as the club seeks a fresh start in 2025.

The Kansas City Current are leaning aggressively into the teal in 2025 with its "Teal Town" kit. The all-teal kit features a map of Kansas City and the Missouri River overlayed over the jersey's front, with the crest marking the spot where the club's CPKC stadium sits on the map.

The North Carolina Courage debuted a pink monochrome jersey for 2025, the "Believe" kit. Although it's a relatively simple kit, the dual-color pattern gives it a visually appealing texture. On the bottom right side of the jersey is a circle with "Esse Quam Videri," the state motto of North Carolina, which means "to be rather than to seem."
Fresh off the 2024 NWSL Championship, the Orlando Pride is debuting a bright purple kit for next season. The Decennial kit, celebrating the club's 10th year, feature a fun textured pattern and light blue accents. The centered crest is iridescent and features a star over the top — spoils of the club's first-ever championship last season.
The Portland Thorns went dark for its new jersey, part of the "Back in Black" kit. The away jersey features a blend of black and red accents, with the red invoking fiery embers, per the team.
Racing Louisville returned to the earth for its new jersey, unveiling the Roots kit on Thursday. The green kit features a subtle texture and a lily design on the side panels. The club is also leaning into the theme by partnering with a local nonprofit to plant trees in the Louisville area.

San Diego had one of the best kits of last year with its "Del Sol" kit; now, the club is adding to its rotation with the ocean-inspired Altamar kit. The all-blue kit features a sunlit water design across the jersey and lighter blue accents, with dark blue shorts and socks to match.

A year after rebranding back to Seattle Reign FC, the club has leaned into gold as a new accent color. This year's kit, the "Rise" kit, features a golden-tinted jersey with abstract rays, which the club says was inspired by the city's skyline and the rising sun in the Pacific Northwest.

In its second year since returning to the league, the Utah Royals went for a bold kit that evokes the Great Salt Lake and the other natural elements of the Salt Lake City area. The jersey also reimagines the crest, reformatting it into the shape of the state of Utah. As part of the kit, the club has also donated $10,000 to the preservation of the Great Salt Lake.
Last year, the Washington Spirit introduced yellow as an accent color, and is leaning into it even more this year. The Spirit's new "Shockwave" kit features a vivid yellow jersey with green accents, a bold and eye-catching look for this season's away matchups.

Chicago Stars lose to unbeaten-at-home Portland Thorns as Alyssa Naeher missed a third consecutive match
Pietra Tordin scored the only goal and the Portland Thorns (6-3-4) remained undefeated at Providence Park this season. The Thorns haven't dropped a game at home in nine straight matches dating back to last year. After a scoreless first half, Sam Coffey crossed the ball to the back post for Tordin to smash home her third goal of the season in the 59th minute. Thorns goalkeeper Bella Bixby recorded a team record 27th NWSL clean sheet, making three saves. The Chicago Stars (1-7-3) are winless in their last nine games. Two-time World Cup winning U.S. women's national team goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher missed a third consecutive match for the Stars due to an upper extremity injury. Chicago Stars players started trivia nights for fun. The result was a stronger team Adames scored two goals in the second half and the Seattle Reign beat the Utah Royals 4-1 on Saturday. It was the first multi-goal game of Adames' career, and at 19 years and 79 days old, she became the second-youngest player to ever score two goals in an NWSL match. At America First Field in Utah, the Reign (6-4-3) jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. Ji So-Yun scored from 14 yards out after a headed pass from Maddie Dahlien in the sixth minute. Ji then returned the favor and played Dahlien through on goal for the Reign's second goal in the 16th. Bianca St-Georges scored for the Royals in the 31st as the Canadian forward tapped in from close range after Ally Sentnor's strike rebounded off the post. Ji got her second assist of the match when she slipped the ball to Adames in the 66th and the youngster found the corner with a swift left-footed shot from 12 yards to make it 3-1. Adames converted a penalty kick in the 90th. She leads Seattle with four goals this season. It was the first time the Reign scored four in a game since May 2023. The Royals (1-10-2) extended their winless streak to eight and remain in last place in the NWSL standings as the league heads into a monthlong break. Esther Gonzalez scored her 10th goal of the season and Gotham came from behind to defeat Bay on Saturday. The Spaniard is the top scorer in the NWSL and has already surpassed her total of nine from the 2024 season. Gotham (5-5-3) won its second home match of the season. Penelope Hocking put Bay up 1-0 in the 11th minute. Hocking latched onto a looping pass from Hannah Bebar and poked the ball past Ann-Katrin Berger in the Gotham goal. Gonzalez got Gotham's equalizer in the 29th when she pounced on a loose pass in the box by Alyssa Malonson. Geyse netted the winning goal for Gotham in the 55th. Nealy Martin found the Brazilian with a bending 40-yard long pass out of the defense. It was a second straight loss for Bay (4-6-3). The San Jose-based team has lost all three of its meetings with Gotham since joining the NWSL in 2024. Hannah Betfort scored the winning goal in North Carolina's comeback victory on Saturday. The Courage (5-5-3) are on a two-game winning streak and are up to ninth in the NWSL standings, outside the playoff places on goal difference alone. It was the second consecutive game head coach Sean Nahas missed due to a medical issue, but he was spotted in the stands at WakeMed Soccer Park. The Dash (3-8-2) are winless in their last five games. Avery Patterson put Houston ahead 1-0 in the opening minute of the match. The deflected strike from inside the box came after just 52 seconds and was the fastest goal in Dash history. Acting head coach Nathan Thackeray made a triple substitution in the 66th minute, putting Jaedyn Shaw, Ashley Sanchez and Betfort into the game. Dash midfielder Sarah Puntigam was sent off for a second yellow card for a foul on Shaw in the 70th. Shaw scored the equalizer with a simple finish from the center of the box in the 71st. The goal was Shaw's first for the Courage since joining this past offseason. Manaka Matsukubo spotted Betfort in the box and whipped the ball towards the forward, who got just enough of a touch to score the winning goal in the 81st.
