LOS ANGELES (February 27, 2025) - Today, Angel City Football Club revealed its secondary kit for the 2025 NWSL Season, named "Los Angeles". The jersey honors the rich culture and history of Los Angeles with an all-over pattern showcasing the city’s most iconic landmarks and symbols. It also celebrates the club’s own journey, featuring nods to ACFC’s history woven into the design. The toile-patterned design consists of a cream background with individual, repeating illustrations that honor modern and historic LA, allowing both local and global fans to find cultural and personal representation within the pattern. The jersey is now available for purchase online at www.angelcity.com/shop
When purchasing the jersey, fans can add a “Rise Up L.A.” iron-on patch as a bundle, and all net proceeds from the patch purchases will benefit the LAFD Foundation and Women’s Fire Alliance. Fans can also purchase the jersey in-person at the BMO Stadium team store or on any ACFC gameday. Prices start at $109.00.
“This is my favorite jersey of ours,” said ACFC defender and captain Ali Riley. “It is such an amazing representation of LA. I love having the chance to play in something like this that showcases the city so perfectly. Going to Santa Monica beach every weekend growing up, visiting fruit stands, and seeing Chinatown are parts of me visibly on a jersey. This is another reason why I love this club. It shows our pride. The strength of LA is incredible, and we know we will be able to rebuild and support each other because this is such an amazing, diverse, and unique place, and it shows on the jersey.”
“Our club’s love of Los Angeles is woven into the fabric of this jersey,” said ACFC Co-Founder and CEO Julie Uhrman. “It comes at a time when it is more important than ever to represent the diversity, strength, and incredible resilience of this community. I can’t wait to see our players proudly wear these kits and pay homage to our home. I also want to thank our jersey sponsors DoorDash, NYX Professional Makeup, and Sprouts Farmers Market, who are so committed to supporting our club and giving back to our community.”

The replica jersey is made by Nike using sustainable, 100% recycled polyester fibers and has expanded sizing options to S-2XL for Women’s and S-3XL for Unisex jerseys. It features breathable side panels, Nike Dri-FIT technology, and a unique neckline. The authentic jersey, which is what the players wear on the pitch, has advanced breathability and an embroidered crest. The primary color of the jersey is cream with accents of Sol Rosa, Black, and Armour Grey, the club’s signature colors. The Nike swoosh, sponsors DoorDash across the front of the kit, Sprouts Farmers Market adorning the back, and NYX Professional Makeup on the right sleeve, are in pitch black. The player's name and number are pitch black.
MORE THAN A JERSEY - DOORDASH, NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP, AND SPROUTS FARMERS MARKET SUPPORT
In addition to its unique symbolism, the jersey is arguably one of the most impactful kits in global soccer. Over the next several years, ACFC will reallocate millions of dollars into the community in partnership with the team's three jersey partners: DoorDash, NYX Professional Makeup, and Sprouts Farmers Market. This impact is made possible through the team's groundbreaking sponsorship model, where 10 percent of the sponsorship value directly benefits the community.
Front-of-kit sponsor DoorDash made their foray into professional soccer with a significant multi-year commitment, the largest sponsorship in NWSL history. In 2024 alone, alongside All Peoples Community Center and the LA LGBT Center, ACFC and DoorDash combatted food insecurity in Los Angeles by delivering over 2,000,000 meals to communities in need.
Recently added sleeve sponsor NYX Professional Makeup was the first makeup brand to invest in a professional soccer team. It has since expanded its commitment to women’s sports and ACFC with a multi-year partnership announced in November 2024. As with all Angel City sponsors, ACFC and NYX Professional Makeup will collaborate to contribute 10 percent of their sponsorship back into the community with NYX Professional Makeup supporting Las Fotos Project. ACFC and NYX Professional Makeup will support Las Fotos Project’s Artists in Residence Program, which is dedicated to providing paid work experience and workforce development to female and non-binary teens via sports photography and lifestyle product photography.
Back-of-kit sponsor Sprouts Farmers Market joined ACFC to address nutrition education and fresh food access throughout Los Angeles. Since the partnership's inception, ACFC and Sprouts, along with the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation, have worked with The Garden School Foundation to refurbish and provide essential supplies and equipment to two Los Angeles Unified School District school gardens. Together, ACFC and Sprouts have delivered more than 3,800 hours of garden-based education to over 900 elementary school children and have provided those children and their families with over 28,000 servings of free, healthy produce through Food Forward and The Garden School Foundation's pop-up farmers markets at 24th St. Elementary School in Downtown Los Angeles.
