Hold onto your eyeballs: Gotham FC just dropped the Lady Liberty third kit, which has a red, white, and blue color scheme that's more 3D glasses than American flag.
The shirt features an optical illusion-style portrait of the Statue of Liberty, and will be matched with orange shorts that recall the flag of the City of New York — and the socks of New York City FC's new All Nations Kit. According to the club, the kit is "designed to stand out on the pitch and in the streets." (You'll find the full statement at the end of this post.) Achievement unlocked, as the kids say.
The replica jersey costs $114.99 for adults, $99.99 for youth, and is available for purchase. The authentic jersey will cost $199.99 when it goes on sale at a future date.
Lady Liberty is the first third kit in Gotham's history, and is completely unlike the other uniforms favored by the club. Gotham's kits tend towards the classics – the Bats love a sash – and emphasize the club's core colors of black and light blue.
The Lady Liberty kit is something else entirely, a retina-sizzling design heavy with imagery and symbolism. After all, what's more "NJ/NY Gotham FC" than Liberty Island, a 15-acre outpost of New York well within the territorial waters of New Jersey?
We're here for it, and look forward to seeing the Lady Liberty kit in rotation with Gotham's black primary kit and light blue secondary kit — and on the streets of New York and New Jersey.
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (Feb. 26, 2026) - Gotham FC unveiled its inaugural third kit on Thursday in conjunction with the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and Nike: “Lady Liberty,” a bold, colorful third jersey, pays homage to the iconic Statue of Liberty and incorporates the blue and orange of the New York City flag.
The club’s first-ever third kit will join the club’s match uniform rotation with the hallmark primary black sash kit and in the sky blue secondary jersey for the 2026 season.
“Lady Liberty is more than a kit – it’s a statement about who we are and where we come from,” said Laura Petro, Gotham FC vice president of brand and fan experience. “It reflects the bold, iconic spirit of the market we represent and the bold path we’re forging as a club. This jersey connects our legacy to our championship future, and we’re proud to wear it on the pitch and across our community.”
Designed to stand out on the pitch and in the streets, the Lady Liberty kit features the iconic symbol of New York and the United States across the jersey, alongside a fresh gold star above the crest, representing Gotham FC’s status as the reigning NWSL champions. The gold star marks the club’s second championship in three years, symbolizing sustained excellence and a continued era of success for Gotham.
The club’s inaugural third kit draws directly from the blue and orange of the New York City flag, which is blue, orange and white with the city crest in the middle. The return of orange in the kit colors will feel familiar to longtime supporters, serving as a nod to the club’s Sky Blue FC roots while honoring the city and community that define Gotham FC today.
As part of the third kit launch, Gotham FC partnered with style partner ALIGNE to spotlight the intersection of sport and fashion, reinforcing Gotham FC’s connection to both the game and the culture that surrounds it. Known for its trend-forward designs and sleek, tailored silhouettes, the East London brand brought a modern edge to the collaboration, styling players in looks that embodied confidence and strength while complementing the kit’s bold blue and orange statement.
Gotham FC’s primary kit, launched in 2024, pays tribute to New York City and its skyline on a sleek black backdrop, illuminated by the club’s signature Gotham blue. The sash, representing the Hudson River that unites fans across New York and New Jersey, cuts dynamically across the design, nodding to the club’s tactical discipline.
The club’s secondary sky blue jersey was first released in 2025 and places the signature blue front and center as a vibrant expression of the organization’s legacy. The bold blue colorway captures the resilience and authenticity that define Gotham, complimented by sleek, black detailing for a fashion-forward edge inspired by the stylish streets of New York.
