St Louis CITY SC Has Unveiled the Tina Turner Kit
The recently debuted Tina Turner Kit serves as the St Louis CITY SC' ssecondary jersey for the 2026 and 2027 Major League Soccer seasons. The design was developed in collaboration with adidas and BMG. It is also noted as the first soccer kit created by the sportswear manufacturer in partnership with a female music artist.
The Tina Turner Kit honors the singer's formative years in St Louis, where Anna Mae Bullock first performed in local clubs before ascending to global superstardom. The garment features a shimmering gold base intended to evoke the energy and movement of Turner's stage costumes. Her signature is rendered in red on the back of the silhouette, and this references her iconic lip color.
