Forward Madison FC will play its inaugural season in Madison-inspired jerseys, which the team unveiled Saturday afternoon during a fan event at Breese Stevens Field. The four kits - home, away and two goalkeeper shirts - were manufactured by hummel and designed in-house at FMFC by Cassidy Sepnieski.

According to Forward Madison Managing Director Peter Wilt, the jerseys are meant to show the team’s love for its home city.

“The designs and jersey quality both turned out great,” Wilt said. “While the away, alternate and goalkeeper kits will surely have different looks in the future, our hope is that the classic home design will become a standard known for all time. The Madison city flag color base, the sash representing the isthmus and the inclusion of the Forward flamingo will become iconic representations of Madison’s professional soccer team.”

The home jersey is light blue, with a white sash down the center representing Madison’s isthmus. Its sleeves feature a flamingo wing pattern, and its side contains a sublimated flamingo design. The jersey also features pink highlights including hummel’s signature chevrons, signifying “Forward”. The words “Forward For Madison” are printed inside the collar.
