9News (February 14, 2025)—For the first time in club history, the Rapids’ secondary ‘C’ crest takes center stage on the front of the jersey.
The Colorado Rapids have a new river-inspired uniform.
The Rapids unveiled their new “Headwaters Kit,” which will be used for the 2025 and 2026 Major League Soccer seasons.
The Rapids said the new jerseys and shorts draw inspiration from the rivers that originate in the Rocky Mountains, providing water to millions of people across the West.
The jersey features a halo mint base color, representing the crisp, clear snowmelt of Colorado’s rivers, complemented by onyx, tech green and traditional burgundy accents.
The soccer club said that for the first time, the Rapids’ secondary ‘C’ crest takes center stage on the front of the jersey.
“Our kit concepts go beyond style and color with each affording us an opportunity to celebrate our community while supporting a cause that matters to Coloradans,” said Colorado Rapids President Pádraig Smith.
Additional features include Centennial 38’s oars on the lower left tag, honoring supporter culture. The club’s primary crest is featured subtly within the front design, the Rapids said.
“The design of the Headwaters Kit pays tribute to the rivers that shape our state and remain an indispensable resource for millions across the West. Most importantly, we’re proud to continue using our kit partnerships to make a real impact in our community, this time by supporting critical water restoration efforts to help protect this vital resource,” Smith said.
The Rapids said they have partnered with Colorado Water Trust, a nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring and protecting Colorado’s rivers. The Rapids will also donate $15,000 to the nonprofit.
“Colorado Water Trust is honored to be the Rapids’ community partner on this kit,” said Barrett Donovan, Development & Engagement Manager of Colorado Water Trust.
“This partnership will bring awareness to the importance of flowing water in Colorado and help support our work adding water back to rivers and streams across the state. When rivers and streams flow strong, it benefits local communities, ecosystems, and economies. What better partnership than between two homegrown organizations that care deeply about Colorado, its people, and its rivers? A big thanks to the Colorado Rapids for their support, and let’s keep those rivers flowing.”
