Ladies and gentlemen, the moment appears to finally be here. After years of fans pleading for D.C. United to produce a kit that celebrates one of DC’s iconic symbols, the 2023 season will see the Black-and-Red finally embrace the pink and white of the cherry blossom. On Wednesday, jersey blog Footy Headlines leaked the 2023 secondary jersey for D.C. United, and it confirms something that has been reported on for a couple years by The Athletic’s Pablo Maurer: the secondary jersey will be themed after DC’s famous cherry blossom trees.
First reported on this concept two years ago.
