MLS Unveils Stunning Second Wave of 2026 Jerseys, Completing Bold New Season Collection
Lionel Messi's defending MLS Cup champions were part of the 13 teams that unveiled their new uniforms for the 2026 campaign on Wednesday, following the initial batch released earlier this week.
Following LAFC, LA Galaxy and New England Revolution's inclusion in the initial release, supporters of Inter Miami, Toronto FC, Vancouver Whitecaps and Seattle Sounders can now view their fresh uniforms, designed by adidas.
These aren't cookie-cutter designs; each uniform features unique themes tailored to individual clubs.
