The Legacy Jersey Set honors club’s historic 30th consecutive season

RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond Kickers today unveiled the '93 Legacy Jersey Set from adidas featuring a primary green jersey and secondary red, white and blue jersey that honors the club’s 30th consecutive season in operation. Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods returns as the front of jersey sponsor and Bon Secours returns as the back of jersey sponsor.

As the longest, continuously operating professional soccer club in U.S. soccer, the Kickers are honoring the club’s history while inspiring the future generations of Richmond soccer fans. The Kickers’ 2022 primary green jersey is a modern take on the club’s home jersey from the 1993 inaugural season while the red, white and blue secondary jersey is inspired by the 1993 blue away jerseys. 

The red, white and blue secondary jersey was also selected to show support for U.S. Soccer as the Men’s National Team prepares for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and the U-20 Women’s National Team prepares for the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica.

“We are excited to celebrate our 30th year of the Richmond Kickers with Ukrop’s on the front of the pro jersey for a second year,” said Kickers’ Chairman, Rob Ukrop. “Ukrop’s was one of our first partners when the club was founded in 1993.”

Ukrop’s has been a long-time supporter of the Kickers. From their roots as a grocery store started in 1937, to beloved national food manufacturer and a local Market Hall of today, Ukrop’s has always strived to nourish the lives of their customers and their communities.

“Ukrop’s support of soccer began in 1981 with the inaugural Richmond Invitational Indoor Soccer Tournament which attracted top youth teams from outside our region,” commented Bobby Ukrop, Chairman and CEO of Ukrop’s. “We have been pleased to be involved in helping support the amazing growth in soccer in RVA and sports tourism for more than four decades.”

Bon Secours enters their eighth year as a partner of the Kickers. As the Official Healthcare Services Provider of the Richmond Kickers, Bon Secours brings a full spectrum of high-quality sports medicine care and services to both the Kickers’ professional team and youth players, including concussion awareness and management, orthopedic care, sports performance services, physical therapy, safety education, and injury prevention practices.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with the Richmond Kickers, and we are proud of the work we have done together over the last several years to strengthen the health of our community by helping Richmond’s youth stay active,” added Ryan Stuhlreyer, Vice President of Service Line Strategy, Bon Secours Richmond. “We look forward to celebrating the Kickers’ 30th season and maintaining this momentum into another great year and season ahead.”
