After winning last season’s MLS Cup, Los Angeles FC have carried their kit over for the 2023 season. Who can blame them?

Austin FC have given their black and green stripes a more design-forward update for the 2023 season. The various sets of stripes come in different thicknesses and orientations, with various sections across the entire shirt. There aren’t many ways that you can improve straightforward stripes, but Austin FC have found a way to bring the standard football design into 2023.
For the 2023 season, Portland Timbers are keen to show the bond between fans and club. To do that, they’ve recreated their signature green kits into the Portland Plaid pattern, which brings together different shades of green to create a tartan effect. The whole design is nicely finished with a gold trim around each sleeve and the collar.
The design for San Jose Earthquake’s home kit takes its inspiration from the club’s name and its location. The black pattern that runs across the blue base is a nod to the fault lines of California, which is also the reason behind the “Fight to the End” text that also appears on the shirt. It is also a marked improvement on the club’s 2022 kit, which underwhelmed with its solid blue design.
