The Charleston Battery are excited to unveil the 2023 Primary and Secondary Kits ahead of the club's 30th anniversary season. The uniforms, wholly designed in-house by the club and produced by global sportswear leader hummel®, feature elements of past Battery kits as part of the anniversary celebration.
The Primary Kit will debut at Patriots Point later this week for opening night on Saturday, March 11th, when the Battery host Phoenix Rising FC.
Drawing inspiration from the jerseys worn in the early 2000s, the Primary Kit features elements that evoke the city of Charleston's rich history. That recognition is made via an iron gate pattern that's subtly incorporated into the club's iconic black and yellow stripes and along the shoulders. Black and yellow are the main colors of the shirt, with red – which has been part of the Battery's brand since the inaugural season – as an accent color.
The Secondary Kit makes similar callbacks to the team's history with the design being firmly rooted in the team’s 1993 and 1994 uniforms. Like those inaugural kits, white, black and red are the main colors with a striped design. The iron gate pattern is featured again, but in the shirt's collar and sleeve ends.
On all the club's kits, the Volvo Spread Word Mark is featured prominently on the front, MUSC Health on the back and The Ideal Life on the sleeve. Additionally, a celebratory badge is included on the lower left-hand side of the shirts to commemorate the Battery's 30th-anniversary celebration.
The Battery's 2023 Alternate Kit is also due to be announced on Thursday ahead of the home opener, which features a striking design that's bound to not go unnoticed.
The Primary and Secondary Kits are available for purchase now at shop.charlestonbattery.com or at Patriots Point on Saturday when gates open at 6 pm. Fans are advised to order their kits by Wednesday to be able to have them delivered in time for the home opener.
