FC Dallas unveils the “Legacy Kit,” reimagining the 1998 jersey as part of the adidas x MLS Archive Collection.
FRISCO, Texas — Bring back The Burn.
FC Dallas unveiled Wednesday the “Legacy Kit,” a bold reimagining of the club’s 1998 home jersey, as part of the adidas x MLS Archive Collection.
The third alternate jersey dropped on Wednesday honors the 1998 home jersey with its black base with bold red and green stripes, Dallas Burn name and the classic black stallion crest. A special “LH” jock tag pays homage to FC Dallas and MLS founding father Lamar Hunt, and the old MLS logo in the Dallas Burn colors dons the back of the neck.
“This kit is a tribute to where it all began,” said FC Dallas President Dan Hunt. “It honors the players who first wore our crest and laid the foundation for this club. It also celebrates the fans who have carried this club forward ever since day one.”
Children’s Health is the jersey partner on the Legacy Kit and is featured on the lower back of the jersey, similar to the jerseys of the 90’s era.
Sharp-eyed FC Dallas fans would have caught a peek at the jersey about a month ago, when FC Dallas alum Chris Richards stopped by while the U.S. Men’s National Team played their Gold Cup match in Arlington in late June.
The Legacy Kit will be worn for select matches throughout the remainder of the 2025 season, beginning with FC Dallas’ match on Saturday, July 19 against St. Louis CITY SC.
Former Dallas Burn legends will be in attendance for FC Dallas’ match against St. Louis CITY SC on Saturday, July 19 at Toyota Stadium. These Burn-era icons will light the shield before the match and be honored at halftime:
- Jeff Cassar – Former Burn/FC Dallas goalkeeper and longtime MLS coach.
- Mark Dodd – 1996 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year and key figure in the club’s early success.
- Richard Farrer – One of the most consistent defenders in Burn history with more than 140 appearances from 1996–2002.
- Jason Kreis – First MLS MVP in club history, Dallas’ all-time leading scorer and first goal-scorer in club history.
- Bevan Rhine – Wife of the late Bobby Rhine, beloved Burn star, club ambassador and broadcaster.
- Jorge “El Zarco” Rodriguez – Former Salvadoran national team captain and midfield engine for the Burn from 1997–2002
FC Dallas is one of 10 clubs participating in the 2025 adidas x MLS Archive Collection. This year’s campaign “revives the energy that launched a league, celebrating the bold designs, culture, and aesthetic of MLS in the late 1990s and early 2000s,” FC Dallas officials said in a press release.
Along with the throwback kits available in adult and youth sizes, the campaign includes adidas anthem jackets and Gazelle shoes.
