Being a part of the Union’s Kit Collective is one of the coolest accomplishments I barely did anything to achieve. I made a couple jersey mockups and run a amateur podcast with my brother and that was all it took to be invited to join the group that made almost all other Union fans (rightly) jealous.
Secretly knowing what the upcoming season’s jersey would look made me feel more powerful than someone of my stature should feel amongst my fellow supporters, even my brother. I started to notice the subtle incorporation of lightning bolts in the Union’s graphics over the last season such as the “Fight for Philly” branding and playoff clinching graphics.
