Teal was everywhere ... except as a primary color for the kits.
While making an appearance on side stripes, socks and shorts, teal was never the primary jersey color until now.
On Thursday, the Kansas City Current revealed its new secondary kit, dubbed 'Teal Town.'
The teal is everywhere: on the shirts, shorts and socks. Matching the club's 'Teal rising' mantra, the color has gone from the Current's socks to shorts and now shirts in the span of three seasons.

The new look pays homage to downtown KC. While you won't see it on TV, up close the shirt features the grid and outlay of the Kansas City metro, even featuring the Northland and Missouri River.

The placement of the map correlates so that the club's logo and badge, worn on the left side of the chest, aligns perfectly with where CPKC Stadium would be on a map.
KC Current players show off the club's new kit for the 2025 NWSL season. The teal jerseys are the first of their kind for a Current uniform, and include a map of the Kansas City area.
'The 2025 Teal Town Kit has been years in the making, and we are so excited to give fans and players the full teal kit they've been waiting for,' said Kansas City Current vice president and head of marketing Jocelyn Monroe in the club's release.
'The attention to detail within the design reflects the identity and values of the organization. The kit is tattooed with our city map, highlighting our pride in representing Kansas City. This season, the team will literally carry the city across their hearts.'

The KC Current main kit sponsor will continue to be United Way of Greater Kansas City, which is featured on the front of the kit. A portion of the revenue from kit sales will be donated to United Way of Greater Kansas City.
The Kansas City Current's Claire Hutton shows off the back of the club's new jersey for the 2025 season. The Current are sporting teal jerseys for the first time.
The team's primary kit will remain the red jersey and shorts worn last season, with teal socks.
As Kansas City thaws out from last week's deep freeze, the Current players have been enjoying the sunshine during their preseason in Florida. The 2025 season begins on March 15, when Kansas City faces the Portland Thorns at 11:30 a.m. central at CPKC Stadium.

Taylor Swift finally debuts on Travis Kelce's Instagram
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been together for two years, but the couple crossed a major milestone on Thursday. For the first time in their relationship, the 14-time Grammy winner made an appearance on Kelce's Instagram (@killatrav). "Had some adventures this offseason. Kept it 100," the caption of the post read. Kelce posted 13 photos -- a number significant to Swift -- that spanned several events and seasons from the last few months. There are images of Kelce with friends fishing and hiking, pictures with his brother, Jason Kelce, a picture from his Tight End University event, a picture of each of his parents, several images with girlfriend Taylor and many more. It was a lovely look into Kelce's life, highlighting friends and family since the season ended in February. The images also adorably revealed that a photo of the couple is the lock screen on what seems to be both Kelce's and Swift's phones. This isn't the first time that one half of the superstar couple has been featured on the others' social media, however. The Kansas City player was posted to Swift's TikTok account (@taylorswift) back in February of 2024 after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. NOW it's officially official.
