Sarasota Paradise - ‘26 Primary
Jan 8, 2025
The Sarasota Paradise of USL League one have released their new 2026 Primary kit called "The Primetime Streak".
This kit features Paradise's iconic stripes across the chest - a look that has been with them since their inception. This version of the kit keeps those stripes to the chest and does not carry over on to the areas like it did previously which I think really cleans the kit up quite nicely. In addition to the main stripes, there are horizontal pinstripes as well.
Beyond the different levels of striping, there is also a new ribbed knit collar and cuff which really rounds out the look nicely and provides a really cohesive look. It seems that moving in to the professional divisions has allowed for a more elevated fabric solution which I'm sure the players will appreciate!
This look is very unique and quite iconic at this point. These jerseys are unmistakably Sarasota. I am really looking forward to seeing what the club releases for their 2026 Secondary kit and I have my fingers crossed that they try their hands at a Third kit as well. We will see, the season will be here before we know it!
What are your thoughts on the kit? Let us know in the comments below!
Oakland Roots ‘25 Third Kit
Oct 11, 2025
This September the Oakland Roots Sports Club released a collaboration with SFMOMA, Charly and Oakland based artist Muzae Sesay that saw one of Muzae’s pieces turned into the Roots 2025 Third Kit. The limited runs of kits are inspired by his piece “The Sun Has Reached The Same Point As The Moon Above The Ocean” (shown below) and is accented with a black and gold club crest and gold sponsorship logos.
This is a truly beautiful collaboration between a club and an artist. Beautiful both visually but symbolically as well. To have a piece showcasing the local bay waters, painted by an Oakland based artist, displayed in a local museum and community space - turned into the kit of the local soccer team is… everything.
“The Sun Has Reached The Same Point As The Moon Above The Ocean” by Muzae
When interviewed while doing press for the release, Muzae said “My hope with this project is that it leads to greater interconnection between the art world and local sports…” and we couldn’t agree more.
SFMOMA hosted a launch party for the kit that saw the team and fans get together and hear directly from the artist himself while also getting the opportunity to pick up their own limited kits.
At the time of this blog being written, roughly two weeks after the initial release, it does appear as though thus jersey has sold out. Maybe you can pick one up in person (go to a game no matter what!) but they are definitely no longer listed on their website.
Below is the official launch video from Oakland Roots. Like the kit, the video is a vibe!
