When it rains Canadian Premier League news, it pours Canadian Premier League news.
The new away kits for all eight teams – dubbed the “City Edition” – were unveiled via a Twitter live stream on Thursday, coming a day after the CPL confirmed the 202o regular season will take place in P.E.I. in the form of The Island Games.
The series of all-black away kits (jersey, shorts and socks) will serve as second strips for the eight CPL clubs vying for the North Star Shield in Charlottetown.
Featuring local landmarks and iconography, these dark alternates stand in contrast to the white-heavy home strips, which were unveiled in February.
Every jersey incorporates the symbolism and identity of the club within the design, and features the league’s mission “For Canadians, By Canadians” on the inside neck.
Here’s a close-up of each away kit and which element of their respective “city” is highlighted.
