It’s what you didn’t know you wanted until it presented itself, The Tina Turner Kit from the St. Louis CITY Soccer Club. This dazzling golden kit marks Adidas's inaugural collaboration with a female music artist for a soccer uniform. CITY SC observes that the Tina Turner Kit reflects the Queen of Rock’n’Roll’s glamorous style and the vibrant spirit of her live performances. With a two-year commitment, this will be CITY SC’s secondary (away game) kit for both 2026 and 2027. 

Accented in black are Founding Partner and front-of-jersey sponsor Purina, Founding Partner BJC Healthcare on one sleeve, and an MLS and Apple TV patch lockup on the other. The Tina Turner Kit sparkles in gold, reflecting the flow of her glamorous outfits and the vibrancy of her live performances. Her silhouette is depicted in metallic gold on the kit’s authentication tag, while her signature, showcased in CITY Red, pays tribute to her legendary lipstick and nails.

Tina Turner’s rise to global stardom was ignited in St. Louis, where she first stepped into the spotlight. In recognition of this lasting bond, the St. Louis CITY Soccer Club is excited to commemorate her legacy with a series of celebrations in the city that she once cherished as home. 

As Erwin Bach expressed, “St. Louis is a homecoming for Tina; it’s where she first felt the thrill of the stage and the joy of performing.” Carolyn Kindle, CEO, St. Louis CITY SC, said, “Not only did Tina Turner change music, but she also impacted culture over decades and continues to permeate it today…It is a profound honor to celebrate her influence and legacy. St. Louis has long been home to so many artists who have shaped music history, and Tina stands at the top of that list.”
