February 27, 2024 – National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) – Angel City FC News Release
LOS ANGELES – Today, Angel City Football Club (ACFC) revealed both home and away kits for the upcoming season. The stark contrast between the 2024 black home kit and the Sol Rosa (ACFC’s version of pink) away kit represents the grit and determination needed on the field and the collective joy of ACFC’s players, fans, and community. Both are now available for purchase at www.angelcity.com/shop.
The home kit, entitled “Moonlight,” prominently features the signature wings of the angel on the ACFC crest as a nod to the club’s mantra, “Volemos.” The mantra, meaning “Let’s fly together” is also found on the bottom left of the jersey. The texture of the wing design reflects the grittiness demanded on and off the field. “Grit” is often used by ACFC players and coaches when asked what quality they possess as a club and how they made the 2023 NWSL Playoffs in their second year in the league.
ACFC forward Sydney Leroux said of ACFC’s 2023 season, “It’s been a tough year for us so far, but we can show that we can get results. We can have grit, we can have heart. I think that’s the most important thing, to get out there and fight.”
Contrasting with the dark home kit, the away kit, entitled “Sol,” tells a story of joy and optimism. The sunrise gradient across the kit illustrates that regardless of the outcome, the sun in LA rises and shines each day. The Sol kit celebrates the relentless joy that is at the core of Angel City’s club, team, and community. Both designs are part of a league-wide reset. While the home kit designs are unique for each club, the away kits all use the same gradient design in each team’s colorway, speaking to the strength of the collective.
“While these two kits are intentionally very different, you can’t have one without the other,” said ACFC President and Co-Founder Julie Uhrman. “They are yin and yang, the moon and the sun, the dark and the light. You have seen the incredible hard work that our players put in day in and day out on the pitch at every single game. Yet they play with such infectious joy. It is how our team shows up on the field and how we show up in the community- with determination to make a difference and the optimism that we will achieve our goals.”
