The Chicago Fire Soccer Club is proud to present their new jersey for the 2022-23 season: the Water Tower jersey. This special edition uniform pays tribute to Chicago’s iconic “Water Tower”, an architectural landmark that symbolizes Chicago’s rich and vibrant culture. The stadium of the Chicago Fire, Toyota Park, stands just a few miles away from this iconic structure, and the new jersey celebrates the team’s long-standing connection with Chicago.
Designed by adidas, the Water Tower jersey features subtle embossing throughout its design, mimicking intricate contours of Chicago’s landmark. The collar and cuffs are accented in a vibrant red color, paying homage to Chicago Fire’s primary colors from when they began playing in 1997. The main elements of Chicago Fire’s crest – including the letter ‘C’, six-pointed star and modernized Florian cross – are presented in colors from Chicago’s city flag. Above these elements is Chicago’s championship star which symbolizes their Major League Cup victory in 1998.
The Chicago Fire unveiled the jersey at their opening game on February 26th, giving fans a chance to show off their pride for their team through their attire. As supporters wave flags featuring Chicago Fire’s crest, they can also sport this beautiful piece of clothing as part of their gameday outfit. Fans can also customize their jerseys with name and number printing or choose specific names or numbers that represent family members or other important people in their lives.
This new home kit is a great way to show your support for Chicago Fire while looking stylish and sophisticated at the same time. It serves as an excellent reminder that although times may change drastically over time, there will always be something that will never change: our unwavering love for our teams. This simple piece of clothing allows us to express our passion without having to say anything at all – simply by wearing it proudly we are honouring the legacy of our favourite team and showing our strong ties with them through good times and bad.
Chicago Fire’s President Nelson Rodríguez has said “We believe our supporters will find delight in wearing this classic look while reaffirming their status as one of Club’s most passionate fans.” Fans across Chicago can unite through wearing this shirt while representing both old traditions as well as creating new ones every day.
