Tampa Bay Sun: 7th Ave Kit
The Tampa Bay Sun "7th Ave" Kit for 2026. Earned a score of 5.00 from the team.
At first glance, this navy striped kit looks like a clean, classic kit anyone would love, but up close you see the deep Tampa Bay details woven in. The entire kit features tonal jacquard and a stripe pattern on the front and back. As the home kit, the team is opting for their Navy Blue outlined with their Sun Gold. Then as we turn, we find our main selling point.
That selling point? The Ybor City-inspired Talavera tile pattern on the sides. This subtle touch brings Tampa Bay culture to the pitch. Inspired by Ybor City's historic 7th Avenue (La Sétima) and the local Columbian Restaurant located there. While honoring the local Columbian place, this kit also blends in Cuban heritage. Acknowledging the vibrant culture and timeless traditions.
This kit is the perfect mix of creativity and traditional soccer kits. The best of both worlds. With a kit value of 50.01, this is a must-grab for any collector!
Our Score: 5.00
Carolina Ascent: Rising Kit
The Carolina Ascent "Rising" Kit for 2026. Earned a score of 4.00 from the team.
Neon... Mountains...Sun Shine... What else could you want? This year's Carolina Ascent home kit is properly named the Rising kit because Carolina is raising their kit game by a lot! Bursting onto the scene like a sun rising over the Appalachian Mountains. Just as each sunrise signals a new opportunity, the kit symbolizes the continued growth of the club and its ambition to keep reaching new heights on and off the pitch.
This mainly Purple primary kit features rays of Pink, Purple, and deep Blue coming from the team's crest, like the sun shining bright on the Carolina mountain ranges. The rays converge around the crest, symbolizing it as the beating heart of the club and the force that connects its players, supporters and community as the organization continues its climb.
On the bottom of the kit, the geometric design continues to form the Appalachian mountain range. The subtle change in direction makes this shirt absolutely pop and perfect for the pitch or your favorite EDM concert. With a kit value score of 40.40, this will be a great pickup for collectors or fans alike.
Our Score: 4.00
Carolina Ascent: Ridge Kit
The Carolina Ascent "Ridge" Kit for 2026. Earned a score of 3.63 from the team.
More mountains! This is the kit we've been waiting for from the Ascent. Kit after kit after kit, we finally got a mountain range kit that actually looks like it was made by an artist, not just pasted on from Canva. Inspired by the ridge lines that define the Carolinas and the iconic Blue Ridge Mountains, the Ridge Kit celebrates the landscapes that have shaped the club’s identity from day one.
This year's secondary kit features a White base with horizontal mountain-like stripes in the Ascent's multicolored palette ranging from purple to Navy Blue to Pink to Orange, recreating the colors that blanket the horizon as the sun rises and sets over the region’s mountains. The mountain range runs from top to bottom without overpowering the White base. The white base also gives the illusion of fog covering the distant mountain ranges, which is a chef's kiss on top of a great kit.
The Ridge Kit's value is a strong 36.62, and if you are a fan of white kits like Brett, this one might be for you. Fox votes for the purple kit as always.
Our Score: 3.63
DC Power FC: Blue Groove Kit
The DC Power "Blue Groove" Kit for 2026. Earned a score of 2.88 from the team.
This is a fun, interesting kit design from DC Power and Capelli. The Bright Blue, flowing with different Blues and Whites, makes this groovy kit fun and festive for any fan. We scored it this way because the color carries the design. This could be a fun kit for any team, not just the Power. Though it looks nice overall, this could easily be considered a template.
With a kit value of 31.94 this is a good choice for fans of the color blue or the DC Power. We don't see collectors clamoring for this kit.
Our Score: 2.88
DC Power FC: She is DC Kit
The DC Power "She is DC" Kit for 2026. Earned a score of 3.25 from the team.
This cool kit is a favorite of the show. The nice Electric Blue pops off the Black base with ease. The topographical design is a major plus for fans of the ever-famous map kit, but it has been used a lot lately.
The downside is that we aren't sold on the idea that the design has anything to do with the DC area. Though it looks like a topographical map, we don't have any information confirming that fact. It could also be a fingerprint confirming that whoever rocks this kit is part of the D.C. area, leaving a lot to question about what the design actually is. Overall, it's a nice kit to add to a collection and will look nice with a pair of jeans.
With a kit value of 36.11 this is the DC Power kit of choice from the Kit SZN team!
Our Score: 3.25

DC Power FC: Fade Kit
The DC Power "Fade" Kit for 2026. Earned a score of 2.75 from the team.
The shirt that truly got saved by it's colors.
This White kit has an Electric Blue polka dots fading from the bottom to the top. Yes, it looks fine, but it could easily be considered another template. This is a nice looking kit for true DC Power FC fans or someone who wants a more basic kit with a nice color pop.
This kit got a Kit Value of 30.56 putting it in third of the three DC Power FC choices.
Our Score: 2.75
Dallas Trinity: Illuminate Kit
The Dallas Trinity "Illuminate" Kit for 2026. Earned a score of 3.00 from the team.
Inspired by the glowing lights of Reunion Tower, the club’s Illuminate Kit for home matches features a deep Burgundy canvas wrapped in a geometric grid with gold accents.
Sticking with the traditional Burgundy color, we get details illuminating this kit and every aspect of the overall design. From the 3D molded crest, the motto "If/Then", and the leather jocktag in the bottom right. This kit is for the City of Dallas.
Our Score: 3.00
Dallas Trinity: Foundation Kit
The Dallas Trinity "Foundation" Kit for 2026. Earned a score of 1.75 from the team.
The clean, White Foundation Kit for away matches pairs a clean White base with striking Gold pinstripes inspired by the towering columns and iconic art deco style of Fair Park’s Hall of State.
Pinstripes never go out of style, especially Golden pinstripes. Just like the Illuminate Kit above, the details shine on this Golden kit. The main difference? The crest is in the center.
Our Score: 1.75
