by The Latest Collection of Admiral x New Orleans Jesters Kits Will Debut on May 9, Marking Ten Years of Partnership Between the Club and the Storied UK Brand
NEW ORLEANS (February 9, 2024): Today, the New Orleans Jesters unveiled their ADMIRAL Home, Away, and Alternate Kits, paying homage to Mardi Gras, the city’s unique architecture, and jazz.
Back in 1859, the first documented soccer game in the US took place in New Orleans, and 165 years later, this collection honors the birthplace of soccer in America and everything that’s made it unique over the centuries.
The 2024 New Orleans Jesters Home Kit takes full ownership of the Mardi Gras colors. Reflecting the city’s joyful festival tradition, the jersey features a striking color scheme of Peppermint Leaf, Mystical Grape, and Mardi Gras Gold. Each hue acts as a visual representation of the values ingrained in New Orleans culture: purple for Justice, green for Faith, and gold for Power. Finally, the overall pattern draws inspiration from Harlequins and court jesters, who created their own costumes by sewing together fabric scraps in an elongated diamond motif.
Highlighting another staple of New Orleans culture, the 2024 New Orleans Jesters Away Kit boasts a captivating shadow stripe reminiscent of the city’s intricate wrought iron balconies and gates that adorn landmarks along the historic French Quarter. The wrought iron pattern also incorporates a vibrant pinstripe, lending a touch of classic soccer aesthetics to the design.
Finally, the limited-edition alternate jersey draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of jazz history. The design intricately weaves together iconic imagery inspired by the instruments synonymous with the jazz genre, creating a visually captivating tribute that celebrates the city’s eclectic musical heritage.
“I’ve always seen this as more than a sponsorship,” said ADMIRAL Owner Paul Hamburger. “To mark such a special year, we wanted to tell the story of the club through these jerseys. Our latest Admiral ID custom uniform builder, made that vision possible, helping us weave multiple stories of the club and the city into each kit. The goal was to honor the home of the Jesters and deliver something unique that would elevate the club,” he concluded.
