(Orlando, February 10, 2026) — Orlando City SC has revealed its new “Sunken Treasure Kit” for the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) season, a secondary jersey inspired by Florida’s history of shipwrecks and treasure hunting.
Orlando City’s new jersey draws inspiration from the legend of the 1715 Treasure Fleet and Florida’s Treasure Coast.
- Orlando City SC unveiled its 2026 secondary jersey, the “Sunken Treasure Kit,” designed by Adidas.
- The kit’s design is rooted in the history of the 1715 Treasure Fleet, a Spanish fleet lost off the coast of Florida.
- The jersey aims to capture the “shimmer of discovery beneath the waves” and celebrate Florida’s Treasure Coast.
The new jersey, designed by Adidas, pays homage to Florida’s storied coastline and the legend of the 1715 Treasure Fleet, according to a team announcement. The 1715 fleet was a Spanish treasure fleet that sank during a hurricane off the coast of Florida, leading to decades of salvage efforts and the recovery of significant amounts of gold and silver.
The kit’s design, the team says, captures the “shimmer of discovery beneath the waves,” celebrating the mystery, history, and enduring allure of Florida’s Treasure Coast. The jersey’s aesthetic is intended to evoke the feeling of exploring shipwrecks and the pursuit of lost treasure.
Background and Context
Florida’s Treasure Coast, encompassing areas like Vero Beach, Fort Pierce, and Stuart, has a long and rich history tied to shipwrecks and treasure hunting. The 1715 fleet is arguably the most famous example, but numerous other vessels have met their end off the Florida coast over the centuries. This maritime history has shaped the region’s identity and continues to attract treasure hunters and history enthusiasts today.
Orlando City’s choice to draw inspiration from this history is a nod to the local culture and a unique way to connect with fans. MLS teams frequently release secondary jerseys with designs that reflect the team’s city or region, often incorporating local history, landmarks, or cultural elements.
“The kit dives into Florida’s storied coastline and the legend of the 1715 Treasure Fleet – inspired by shipwrecks, sea exploration, and the pursuit of gold,” the team stated.
MLS is scheduled to return on February 21, offering fans a first look at the new kits in action.
