Indy, El Paso and Colorado Springs release new kits. A Slew of teams will be releasing kits in the coming week. Check out for another ratings episode or special interview for our Thursday Live show.

New Kit Releases

Indy Eleven released their 2026 kits, the gang has thoughts on the latest from Under Armour.

Colorado Springs goes Black and White for the 2026 Home and Away Kits from Capelli. Keeping it simple and straight to the point.

El Paso gives us yet another fun and El Paso vibes with their latest from Hummel - the "Hueco Tanks Kit". The “Hueco Tanks Kit” is an ode to the oasis 30 minutes east of downtown El Paso, famous for its natural water-logged rock basins, ancient photographs and distinct geology. Over 10,000 years of human history have been tracked back to this area with strong Native American roots and heritage.

Upcoming Kit Releases for Next Week

Next week we will continue to see new kits getting released, and as March approaches fast - next week we will see plenty of new kits.

Phoenix Rising

The Rising will be releasing their 2026 kits after an intrasquad scrimmage tomorrow. With the tagline, "A Decade in the Desert", seems like it will continue to follow the classic vibes to help celebrate 10 years of Phoenix Rising FC. Please give us a collar with a Phoenix kit - we don't ask for much...

Corpus Christi

The Sharks will be releasing their first ever professional kit ahead of their inaugural USL-League One campaign here on Monday February 23rd. After moving from Admiral - who worked with them while in League Two - to now getting their first kit under new partners Capelli, which will be their Away Kit. Curious to see how the expansion side does with Capelli who can be hit or miss.

Louisville City

A friend of the show has let us know that Louisville City will be releasing their 2026 kits on Tuesday February 24th. Maybe we will see a better Puma template in year two? In the meantime, there is a 40% off sale on last season's kits...

San Antonio FC

San Antonio FC will be releasing their kits on Wednesday February 25th at Frost Plaza. It's San Antonio, it's Charly, we got our eyes on this.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC

After a change from Charly in the off season, the Riverhounds will be donning new Hummel kits on Thursday February 26th at Roxian Theatre. One lucky fan in attendance will get a signed 2026 kit 👀

Lexington SC

A little birdy told us that Lexington will be releasing their 2026 kits also on Thursday February 26th. Keep an eye out on that as no word from their social media.

*Oakland Roots

The Oakland Roots will be launching their new kit for 2026 - more than likely a home kit - on February 25th, 2026. In a simple Instagram post on a pond with the caption "It starts beneath the surface". I don't know what Charly and Oakland has in store - but best be ready 🔥

KitSZN Preview and Recap

You can expect a live show on Thursday Night at 9pm EST as usual. We will either be diving into some more kit ratings or a special interview; a team from the USL-C Western Conference perhaps... Keep an eye out on the Discord or on our Bluesky for more information leading up to the show.

We also had our interview with Jason from the Brickyard Battalion last night! We covered the Indy Eleven kits from 2026, the Under Armor experience, what the Brickyard Battalion is and it's role in the soccer community and more.
