The Orlando Pirates "The City Beautiful Edition" Jersey Campaign is a celebration of the culture, creativity, and communities that define Orlando!
The Orlando Pirates are inviting local artists, designers, and visual storytellers to put their stamp on the team by re-imagining our alternate jersey for the 2026 season at the Kia Center.
This initiative is designed to spotlight the city's diverse artistic voices while creating a one-of-a-kind uniform that represents Orlando beyond the field, displaying its neighborhoods, energy, history, and bold creative spirit. By opening the design process to the community, the Pirates aim to blur the line between sports and art, transforming the jersey into a wearable tribute to the city they now call home.
Participating artists will be provided with an official black adidas jersey template file that clearly outlines designated design zones available for creative customization.
Within these approved areas, artists may submit original concepts in vector file format, incorporating themes, patterns, and visual elements that reflect what Orlando means to them. Submissions will be reviewed by a selection committee consisting of Pirates leadership and creative partners, with the top four (4) designs incorporated into a Pirate Nation-wide fan vote, in which fans will determine their favorite jersey.
More than a uniform, this campaign is an opportunity for a local artist to see their work take center stage, worn by professional athletes, celebrated by fans, and forever connected to an iconic moment in Orlando Pirates history.
