The Washington Spirit, D.C.’s women’s soccer team, unveiled the latest looks for the upcoming season: the Blackout and Spotlight kits.
The new uniforms are part of majority owner Michele Kang’s vision to raise the visibility of the team, and goal to rebrand the team by next year.
“These kits are inspired by Michele’s vision. They represent what we want to embody as a club on and off the pitch — trailblazing, energy and dominating,” said Washington Spirit COO Theresa McDonnell. “The players will look commanding in black at home, and will be unmissable in bright yellow on the road.”
The Blackout kit, featuring gray and black graphics in a converging pattern inspired by the columns and architecture of the DMV, will be the primary uniform for home games during the new season. The Spotlight kit is a vibrant yellow and will be easy to spot during road games.
“I love the energy of the Spotlight kit and the power of the Blackout kit,” said seventh-year Spirit midfielder Andi Sullivan. “I can’t wait to wear these kits and bring those elements to the field. I hope the fans are as excited as us to finally see these kits!”
The Spirit, nearing their 13th year in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), will have their first home game of the season on March 23. They recently won the championship in 2021 and narrowly missed the playoffs last season.
