Real Salt Lake released its new primary kit, which it will wear for the next two seasons, on Wednesday.
The new “Switchback Kit” pays homage to Utah’s iconic mountains with outlines of the Wasatch mountain range in the background of strips of the team’s signature claret and cobalt.
The outline is the “exact outline of the Wasatch mountain range” visible from the team’s America First Field in Sandy, Utah, according to the team’s social media.
“This 2026 season, our first full campaign under the Miller family leadership and ownership, along with the arrival of the World Cup in North America, is sure to be a milestone year for our sport and our League, and we hope the 2026/27 ‘Switchback Kit’ celebrates our great State’s legacy, pioneering spirit, as it is meant to inspire our amazing supporters,” Tyler Gibbons, Real Salt Lake’s director of marketing, said in a team statement.
The new kit is now available for purchase at the team store.
All 30 MLS clubs have released or will release new kits this week ahead of the start of the new season.
“Working with adidas the last several years on multiple designs, spanning various highlights of Utah and what makes our community unique, we look forward to unveiling our third strip later this summer. We can’t wait to see how our fans connect with and sport the Claret-and-Cobalt hoops throughout what could be the biggest year in RSL history,” Gibbons said.
Real Salt Lake plays its first match of the season on Feb. 21 in Vancouver against Vancouver Whitecaps FC. It will play its home opener against the Seattle Sounders FC on Feb. 28.
