SANDY — Real Salt Lake is back in black.
The Major League Soccer club based in Sandy unveiled the identity of its third kit Thursday morning alongside eight MLS clubs that feature in the latest round of the league’s Adidas x MLS Archive Collection that “celebrates the nostalgia, pride, and passion of eight soccer cities that connect both past and present while honoring each club’s history, culture and identity.”
RSL joins Austin FC, CF Montreal, Chicago Fire FC, Houston Dynamo FC, Orlando City SC, Philadelphia Union and Vancouver Whitecaps FC with the 15 other clubs that were previously featured in the collection that first launched in 2024.

With at least three years to launch the third kit, Salt Lake’s Black Diamond kit “celebrates the Greatest Snow on Earth,” as well as Utah’s vintage ski culture and eclectic resort style. The vintage rust-red on the main black shirt is a nod to Utah’s back country, with gold details and a vintage “Real Salt Lake” logo on the front and a former MLS logo on the back shirt collar.
“The final Archive drop is a nod to the roots of MLS culture, giving fans kits that feel nostalgic while capturing the true spirit of the eight cities that have played an important part to cultivate the fandom around soccer culture,” said Adidas senior designer for club and MLS Griffin Claes in a news release. “We didn’t design these to just be third jerseys; they are pieces for fans to rep the authentic energy, landmarks and pride of their home cities whether they’re in the stands or out in their communities.”
The launch also includes a matching jacket, featuring a main black color with the club’s original word mark featured prominently on the back and modern club crest on the front.
The ensemble is available now, along with the other seven teams, at adidas.com and mlsstore.com.
