The city of Cincinnati is known for its distinctive landscape, rising steadily from the banks of the Ohio River through numerous hills and neighborhoods, reflecting the determination and character of its residents. This natural and civic ascent inspires the new FC Cincinnati Seven Hills Kit, designed to represent the collective rise of the city rather than just one peak, capturing Cincinnati’s unique identity.
Introducing the New Alternate Kit for 2026
On Wednesday morning, FC Cincinnati revealed its 2026 Seven Hills Kit, an alternate uniform complementing the club’s primary Orange and Blue Legacy Kit introduced before the 2025 season. The jersey prominently features vertical chevron-patterned orange stripes set against a primarily white backdrop, symbolizing the city’s iconic seven hills. This design element visually connects the team’s uniform to Cincinnati’s geography and history.
First Appearances and Design Details of the Kit
FC Cincinnati will debut the Seven Hills Kit internationally during the first game of the Concacaf Champions Cup against O&M FC in the Dominican Republic. The kit will then make its home appearance at TQL Stadium on Saturday, February 21, during the team’s season opener against Atlanta United FC. This collection marks a notable color shift with orange shorts paired with white socks, a combination not used before by the club. The return of orange shorts recalls the Juncta Juvant kit worn in 2022-23, while the white socks include navy blue accents, adding a fresh visual touch.
Reflecting the City’s Climb Through Design
By incorporating these design choices, FC Cincinnati’s Seven Hills Kit honors the city’s landscape and the spirit of its people, emphasizing perseverance and unity. The kit not only celebrates local pride but also establishes a new aesthetic direction for the club as it prepares for the challenges of the 2026 season.
