The white kits are back — and in a big way.
The on Tuesday released their much-anticipated all-white alternate uniforms for 2019, which they are calling their “Black Diamond” kit.
The new Adidas uniforms feature white jerseys, shorts and socks, with burgundy and silver accents.
“The cloud white color is a nod to the mountain culture and the permanent snowcapped mountains that rise above the Mile High City,” the Rapids said in a release announcing the new look.
The white look replaces the Rapids’ alternate gold jerseys, which drew color inspiration from the state flag and its gold-mining past. Colorado will continue to wear its burgundy and light blue kits as its primary look.
The new jerseys also feature the “C” from the Colorado flag on the back between the shoulders and an embossed Colorado flag on the jock tag.
On Monday, the Rapids released a new goalkeeper’s jersey for 2019. It is black with a subtle print of mountains.
