The Cup Kit honors the 1995 U.S. Open Cup championship team as 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of their win
RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond Kickers are excited to unveil the 2025 Cup Kit featuring a custom white hummel jersey with red, white and blue detailing on the sleeves and neckline. The pale blue flying soccer ball design is pulled directly from the Kickers’ original logo and honors not only the 32 year history of the club, but also the 1995 U.S. Open Cup winning squad
Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods returns as the front-of-jersey sponsor for a fifth-straight season, Bon Secours returns as the back-of-jersey sponsor for an 11th-straight season, and Nightingale Ice Cream returns as the back collar sponsor for a third-straight season.
In addition to the three returning jersey partners, the Kickers are pleased to announce that this year Las Abogadas RVA, joins as a first-time sleeve sponsor for the club.
“We’re thrilled to unveil our 2025 secondary jersey that features incredible local businesses who continue to be great supporters and partners of ours,” Richmond Kickers Vice President, Corporate Partnerships, Drew Norris said. “Ukrop’s and Bon Secours have worked tirelessly to support us for many years in a multitude of ways, and we’re thrilled to continue building our relationships with Nightingale Ice Cream as well as start an exciting new relationship with Las Abogadas RVA. We’re grateful to these partners as they help us continue to bring an exciting local soccer experience to the Richmond region.”
The Cup Kit will serve as the Kickers’ secondary jersey during the 2025 season, with the jersey making its debut during the Kickers’ season opener when the Roos take on South Georgia Tormenta FC in Statesboro on March 7 at 7p.m.
To mark the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Open Cup win, the jersey celebrates that moment in club history with both large and small details across the design. On the outside of the collar, it reads 1995, with a silhouette of the championship trophy, and on the inside, it reads 1995 U.S. Open Cup Champions. The larger jersey design harkens back to the club’s original logo, worn by the 1995 squad, to celebrate them and the 30 years since as America’s longest-continuously operating professional outdoor soccer club.
