The Crew unveils new 2022 jersey, ‘The Gold Standard’ kit

Saturday, the Columbus Crew unveiled the team’s primary kit for the 2022 Major League Soccer season. Named “The Gold Standard Kit” by Adidas, the Black & Gold return to wearing gold for this year after spending 2021 with gray primary kits and black alternate.

Columbus’ new gold kit features a pattern of triangles and trapezoid shapes, an “Isometric Checkerboard pattern,” throughout both the body and sleeves. This is a design that’s recognizable to anybody who has visited the Crew’s home of Lower.com Field since it opened in the summer of 2021.

After the intricate pattern work, the next thing most supporters are likely to notice is the crest.
