Combined with the cool blue of the River Kit from 2021, the Minnesota Night Kit puts black and blue front and center for Minnesota United for the team’s sixth year in MLS. Struck through with pinpricks of light like stars, the kit is the team’s first truly black kit and a reinforcement of our connection to the state as a place of natural wonder.
Beyond the Twin Cities, the night sky over Minnesota opens up. From bone-chilling nights ice fishing on Lake of the Woods to gentle summer evenings spent on the shore of Lake Superior, that sky connects us all as surely as the rivers that run across the state. Its limitlessness reminds us of how high we can fly and how much room we have left to grow.
The star itself has been a part of the team’s crest from the very beginning and on the Minnesota Night Kit, it’s embossed in blue at the back of the neck.
The state’s motto “L’Étoile du Nord” — French for “Star of the North” — appears on the neck tape this year, a reminder of Minnesota’s place as the northernmost state of the lower 48 and a beacon in the constellation Ursa Minor for travelers everywhere.
