MLS 2021 Overview - All Upcoming Releases & Which Kits Will Be Carried Over

After already taking a look at everything that we know about the new MLS 2021 jerseys so far, we also want to cover every uniform that will not change compared to the last season and give you an overview of what you can still expect from every club in the coming months.

There are two exceptions we do not know a lot about for the next season: Chicago Fire FC and CF Montréal. Both teams have recently unveiled all-new brand identities and logos. While Chicago Fire unveiled their new logo before the start of last season, the rebranding of Club de Foot Montréal formerly known as Montreal Impact happened around a week ago.

Since Chicago Fire FC will again receive a new logo after the upcoming season we do not know if they will carry over both jerseys or which one they will replace before the start of this season. Because CF Montréal was just unveiled we feel certain that they will receive two new jerseys as everything else would be inconsistent.

To look on the bright side we do know at least one jersey of 25 teams already and most of the clubs (22/26) will carry over their football shirts based on the 1994-inspired kit template that has striking 3 stripes on the shoulder and a V-neck. The exceptions are Austin FC (new addition), Cincinnati & Inter Miami (own choice after two inaugural jerseys). Nashville carrying over their away shirt is an assumption based on the fact that their inaugural home jersey is very simple.
