ALBUQUERQUE, NM (February 28, 2019) – New Mexico United and KraneShares are proud to announce their partnership and reveal the front-of-jersey sponsor for the away kit for the team’s 2019 inaugural season at Isotopes Park.

We’re proud to represent KraneShares on the road.”
“KraneShares is proud to be a leading sponsor for New Mexico United,” said KraneShares CEO Jonathan Krane. “The growth of soccer and the USL in the United States is strong. We look forward to being part of New Mexico United’s success.”
The official away kit, manufactured by long-time soccer brand, Adidas, is a clean, white jersey with the regal, two-toned blue Kraneshares logo across the front. The signature Adidas lines run down both shoulders of the jersey in New Mexico United yellow. The front also showcases a yellow Adidas logo and the New Mexico United shield. The full, official away kits include yellow shorts adorned with white lines and white socks with yellow stripes around the knee.
