Major League Soccer and Adidas have unveiled the 2026 Archive Collection, bringing together the league’s past and present through a series of retro-inspired designs for eight clubs.

The third installment of the Archive Collection features new third kits and matching jackets for Austin FC, CF Montréal, Chicago Fire, Houston Dynamo, Orlando City, Philadelphia Union, Real Salt Lake and Vancouver Whitecaps.

The collection is designed to celebrate the history, culture and identity of each club’s city while incorporating modern elements into nostalgic football-inspired designs.

Each of the eight teams receives a unique third kit drawing inspiration from its heritage and visual identity. The accompanying jackets complete the collection, giving supporters an opportunity to embrace the retro aesthetic both on and off the pitch.

The 2026 Archive Collection continues MLS and Adidas’ effort to connect the league’s growing modern identity with its history. By revisiting classic influences and combining them with contemporary styling, the collection offers a fresh take on some of MLS’ most recognizable clubs.

With eight teams represented, the latest release adds another chapter to the Archive Collection series — proving that when it comes to football fashion, past meets present.
