At a private event in conjunction with the adidas ESP Tournament at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the Colorado Rapids have unveiled the club's brand new third kit for the 2008 season.
The Rapids' third kit features a white jersey, burgundy shorts, and white socks. The Rapids will wear this third kit in all international matches and competitions moving forward.
The new third kit incorporates elements of the Rapids' existing DNA, such as the burgundy on the shorts and jersey lettering, as well as the newly-introduced hint of Arsenal Red in the new design.
The Colorado Rapids will debut their new third uniform in match action for the first time at their home international match on Wednesday, July 9, when they take on Mexico's Tigres at 8:00 p.m. at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Since the Rapids players will be wearing the third kit for the first time this Wednesday, models from the Donna Baldwin Agency were on hand to present the new third kit to the guests and media members in attendance at the exclusive event, which was held at the Cantina at Dick's Sporting Goods Park and was invitation-only.
The Rapids' third jerseys are now available for purchase in limited inventory. The authentic third jerseys retail for $90 and are available exclusively for purchase through the Rapids' official team store, Altitude Authentics, both at the Team Store at Dick's Sporting Goods Park starting Tuesday, July 8 at 10:00am MT, as well as online at ColoradoRapids.com.
Only authentic Rapids third kit game jerseys are available for purchase; replica jerseys will not be made available to the public.
Help celebrate the launch of the Rapids' brand-new third kits, and be there for the club's first international match of the year at Dick's Sporting Goods Park when your Rapids take on Tigres this Wednesday, July 9!
