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!
