St. Louis CITY SC Unveils Tina Turner-Inspired 2026 MLS Kit

A first-of-its-kind collaboration between adidas and St. Louis CITY SC has produced “The Tina Turner” kit for the 2026 MLS season. The shimmering, gold-drenched design celebrates the Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll and marks the first adidas kit collaboration with a female music artist across any sport.

Design and Inspiration

The base color of the kit explodes in high-voltage gold, reflecting the shimmer of Tina Turner’s iconic stage outfits. The bold visual is strengthened by the story of Turner’s deep ties to St. Louis, where she honed her craft and left a permanent imprint on the city’s music culture.

Attention to Detail

Turner’s silhouette, cast in metallic gold, appears on the jersey’s authentication tag — subtle yet unmistakable. Her signature, reimagined in CITY Red, evokes the bold lipstick and nails that became part of her visual identity. Every design element feels intentional, rooted in her energy, confidence, and stage presence.
