The future's bright, very bright for Orlando City as they unveil the first kit in club history to be predominantly Florida Gold.
Orlando City SC today unveiled the Sunken Treasure Kit, presented by Orlando Health, the Club’s new community kit through the 2027-28 Major League Soccer season.
The Sunken Treasure Kit draws inspiration from the legend, mystery and enduring allure of Florida’s Treasure Coast, a region known for stories of lost gold and shipwrecked riches.
Stretching along Florida’s east coast, the area takes its name from the legendary 1715 Treasure Fleet, a convoy carrying New World wealth back to Spain before a hurricane sank 11 of its 12 ships. Millions of dollars in gold, silver and jewels have been recovered from the wrecks since the 1960s, and coins still occasionally wash ashore today. That sense of history, discovery and lingering mystery anchors the Sunken Treasure Kit’s identity.
“We’re incredibly excited to unveil the first kit in Club history to be predominantly Florida Gold, an iconic color inspired by a truly unique and authentic Florida story that reflects the rich history of our home state,” said Pedro Araujo, Orlando City SC Chief Marketing Officer. “This kit is a tribute to our fans and supporters, who are the true treasure of this club. It represents the memories we create together each season—moments that endure across time, much like the legends of Florida’s Treasure Coast. For us, real treasure isn’t found beneath the waves; it lives in the stands, in our community and in the shared moments our players and fans bring to life every time we take the field.”
The release of the Sunken Treasure Kit marks the first time in club history that Orlando City will wear a primarily gold kit, its design symbolizing the gleam of the treasure carried by the fleet and the shimmer of discovery beneath the waves.
Deep purple accents and touches of white evoke the contrast of sunlight breaking through water, highlighting the beauty and intrigue of what lies below the surface. Sweeping ships and a tonal lion motif stretch across the jersey, inspired by the carved figureheads that once guided vessels across the Atlantic, serving as a symbol of protection, strength and the Club’s identity as the Lions.
On the back of the neck, a coin inspired by Spain’s historic gold doubloons bears the inscription, “The treasure is the memories we make.” At the front hem, a nautical compass jock tag reads, “Our anchors we will weigh, our sails we will set, 90 minutes with our City family we shall never forget.” Both details draw from the seafaring culture of the Age of Exploration and the Age of Sail.
The compass wording also mirrors the cadence and sentiment of the traditional sea shanty “Good‑Bye, Fare Ye Well,” once used by sailors to lift morale as ships embarked on long voyages.
Orlando Health returns as the jersey’s presenting partner, continuing a relationship that began in 2011 during Orlando City’s first season in the City Beautiful.
The Sunken Treasure Kit is now available on MLSStore.com and OCMobileShop.com, with in‑person pickup at The Den at Inter&Co Stadium beginning Wednesday, Feb. 11 during regular business hours.
