Over five decades, more than 800 players and hundreds of thousands of supporters have donned the club’s jersey, and the current generation will continue to do so in style.
Honouring the club’s status as the longest running professional soccer club in Canada and the United States, The 50 Jersey highlights a modern interpretation of the original crest during the inaugural season in 1974. The colour palette features the club’s navy blue as the base with gold trim accents, as well as the ’Caps premier partner TELUS, to celebrate the golden anniversary.
“This is another big moment in a milestone season for our club,” said Axel Schuster, Whitecaps FC chief executive officer. “We are excited to officially launch our 50th Anniversary jersey. The feedback we have received from our players is that this is already one of their favourite kits. We are looking forward to seeing both our team and our supporters wearing this jersey as we embark on our biggest season yet.”
Whitecaps FC MLS season opener, presented by TELUS, is just over two weeks away on Saturday, March 2 when they host Eastern Conference side Charlotte FC at BC Place. Kickoff will be at 4:30 p.m. PT, the upper bowl will be open, and more than 25,000 tickets have already been sold. For ticket information, visit whitecapsfc.com/tickets.
