Charleston Battery might have the best jerseys in America

As one of the oldest operating professional clubs in the United States, the Charleston Battery had to celebrate their 30th anniversary (founded in 1993) with something special.

The club has entered a new era under the ownership of Rob Salvatore, highlighted by a move to Patriots Point Soccer Complex and the recent hiring of 2022 USL Championship Coach of the Year Ben Pirmann. These are exciting times for the Black and Yellow, and now the team has one of the year's best kits.

Everything we know about the 2023 MLS jerseys so far

Beginning with opening weekend on Saturday, Feb. 25, the 2023 MLS season is suddenly just days away as preseason draws to a close. We've already had key offseason events like the SuperDraft and Seattle's Club World Cup odyssey, but what truly gets the blood flowing is the annual reveal of the latest 2023 MLS jerseys.

As is tradition, every club retains the kit it debuted in 2022 but the 2021 releases are replaced, so each team either gets a new home or away shirt in 2023. Here's everything we know so far about the new threads.

FC Köln and Scotland drop outrageously good anniversary kits

When an anniversary kit is done right, there's always something stunning about the perfect balance of football heritage with modern technology. We've started 2023 with two perfect examples of this theory.  

On Monday, Feb. 13, FC Köln celebrated their 75th anniversary after being founded back in 1948. To commemorate the occasion, the Billy Goats got a special edition shirt by Hummel that they wore on Sunday during a 3-0 Bundesliga victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.

First details of the USWNT's 2023 World Cup kit are revealed

Please don't shoot the messenger. After not getting the feedback they were looking for from the USMNT kit that drew its inspiration from basketball, American football and hockey before revealing itself as Frankenstein's monster, Nike and U.S. Soccer are back at it again with a jersey for the USWNT ahead of this summer's World Cup.

Napoli debut lip print jersey for Valentine's Day – players waste chance for legendary celly

It's increasingly common to see soccer players with a female lip print tattoo on their neck. Yeah, it isn't good. But now there's something even worse than that: Here's the new kissy-kissy Napoli jersey for Valentine's Day.

Geeze, what an awful piece of fabric.

adidas X Jamaica partnership quickly leads to the most anticipated jersey of 2023

Maybe you missed it since the news appeared on New Year's Day, but the Jamaica Football Federation recently announced a partnership with adidas to "not only celebrate Jamaican football but also Jamaican style and culture."

We're expecting jersey, training wear and lifestyle clothing drops soon with the new kits reportedly coming by the end of January. It's a busy summer for Jamaica with the Reggae Girlz competing in their second straight FIFA Women's World Cup and the Reggae Boyz attempting to claim the Concacaf Gold Cup for the first time.

USWNT star forward Mallory Pugh will be changing the last name on the back of her jersey

The United States women’s national team is preparing for two January friendlies in New Zealand against the Football Ferns. USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonovski released the 24-player roster for the friendlies on Thursday and some fans were surprised to not see star player Mallory Pugh on the list.

What those fans didn’t realize was that a Mal Pugh name change had taken place since the last time the U.S. played. In December the Chicago Red Stars forward married Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson.

World's worst national team aims to inspire by giving every San Marino newborn a jersey

When we cover the San Marino national team here at The18, it's usually to report on players breaking down in tears after securing 0-0 draws with Gibraltar. 

The squad has attracted a global following by virtue of being the worst international team on the planet — San Marino sits dead last (211th) in the FIFA Rankings with an all time record of 194 matches played, one win, eight draws and 185 defeats with a goal difference of negative 770.

Detrás de la sobredosis de sponsors hay un jersey del Necaxa en tributo a Don Ramón

El Necaxa reveló su tercer jersey para la temporada 2022-23 y sorprendió a seguidores y aficionados neutrales con la linda intención de rendir tributo a Don Ramón, el legendario personaje del Chavo del 8 interpretado por el no menos icónico actor Ramón Valdés.

La playera tiene un diseño simple y en el que se estampan una serie de frases clásicas del personaje que alimentan la nostalgia. Sin embargo, el diseño no convence a todos, debido a una serie de factores, pero principalmente por el abusivo número de sponsors que suele manchar las camisetas de la Liga MX.
