NAPLES, Fla. – FC Naples began the countdown to its second season in USL League One on Friday night as it revealed its new kit for the 2026 season at a season ticket-holder event at the Cove, the pregame gathering spot for fans at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex.
Special guests, including club owners Beto Perez and Nico Cantor, and fans celebrated the team’s focus on Southwest Florida with the kits paying tribute to the iconic Naples Pier.
The symbol on the FC Naples Jerseys is the “A” from the club’s logo. The unique shape pays homage to the Naples pier’s pilings, which have stood as a beacon of hope and perseverance through countless storms. The pilings reflect the invincible spirit of Naples and its people.
“FC Naples’ crest represents multiple elements of our community, but one of our most cherished symbols has always been the strength and resilience of the Naples Pier. Despite the hurricanes that have damaged the boardwalk, the pilings have represented an unbreakable foundation,” said Roberto Moreno, CEO of FC Naples. “Our team chose this symbol for the kits to demonstrate our commitment to stand with the community for decades to come.”
The unveiling event provided fans with both a historical look at the Naples Pier and an early look at the new kit ahead of its public release. The evening served as an opportunity for supporters to connect while marking the start of the next chapter in FC Naples’ growth. Fans also enjoyed early access to the 2026 lifestyle collection, on-site jersey sales, raffles, and family-friendly activities.
