February 17, 2024 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – Nashville SC News Release
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville Soccer Club unveiled today its new ‘615’ jersey, the club’s primary kit for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, during an event at GEODIS Park. The third primary jersey in team history celebrates both the individuality of Nashville SC fans and the communities the Boys in Gold call home, including 35 neighborhood and Middle Tennessee-specific jersey patches designed in partnership with local artist Cymone Wilder.
The jersey features a 615-emblazoned back collar and ‘Nashville’ wordmark “jock tag” on the jersey’s bottom left front. In a departure from the previous primary club jersey that was solid Electric Gold, the new iteration also features a solid Acoustic Blue stripe across the chest along with solid Acoustic Blue sleeve cuffs and piping.

The patches, which represent the homes of 84 percent of Nashville SC’s 24,000 season ticket members, are available for purchase and will be worn on the field by Nashville SC players on opening day Sunday, Feb. 25 at GEODIS Park. The game worn jerseys from opening day’s ‘615 Match’ will be auctioned off later this year to benefit the Nashville SC Community Fund.

But hoo boy, after attending my first game, did I find that my skepticism was misplaced. Nashville SC games are by far the most electric game and fan experience in the city. The game is exciting, the fans are diverse, the atmosphere is buzzing from start to finish. And so, when I was approached to work on this project I was beyond pumped to put my unique skillset to use. It was a fun exercise interpreting the vibes of each community into a unique word mark.
