FC Dallas today unveiled the DNA kit, the club’s new primary jersey for 2026 and 2027.
The DNA kit marks the return of FC Dallas’ bold horizontal hoops and introduces slim white piping. For the first time, a holographic FC Dallas crest adds a dynamic star detail, a subtle nod to Texas’ Lone Star identity.

The DNA kit will debut when FC Dallas hosts Toronto FC in its 2026 regular season opener at Toyota Stadium on Saturday, Feb. 21, at 7:30 p.m. CT.
The Hoops Return
In 2016, the club also secured its first Supporters’ Shield. All three major trophies share one defining feature: hoops. FC Dallas wears hoops. Since rebranding to FC Dallas in 2005, 18 of the club’s jerseys have featured hoop elements. The DNA kit continues that legacy with several hoop patterns, including slim white piping, red-on-red mini hoops, and three bold horizontal blue hoops across the front. The kit returns to a red base on both the front and back, with names and numbers in white on the jersey and shorts.
“I like the DNA kit. I like the return back to the original hoops in blue and red. The material is a lot better. I'm quite happy with it, I am excited to wear it this season.” - Osaze Urhoghide
New Technology
The DNA kit is the first FC Dallas jersey engineered with adidas’ CLIMACOOL+ technology. The kit is crafted for performance, built to support world-class players in high-pressure moments. To tackle the more intense warm-weather conditions, body-mapped 3D engineered mechanical stretch fabrics incorporating CLIMACOOL+ materials wick sweat faster, keeping players drier for longer. Perforated wide three-stripes enable ultimate breathability, while strategically placed mesh holes on both fabric and trims deliver best-in-class air permeability, ensuring optimal ventilation even in the most demanding climates.
Additional Design Elements
- DNA Kit Partner – Children’s Health is the front-of-jersey partner. UT Southwestern Medical Center remains the front-of-jersey partner for the Inferno Kit.
- More Details Than Ever – The collar and cuffs feature a structured red, white and blue finish that sharpens the overall silhouette.
- LH Patch – A tribute to Lamar Hunt is displayed on the lower-left hem.
- Apple TV Patch – Returning for 2026, the Apple TV sleeve patch appears on the left sleeve of both FC Dallas jerseys.
- Texas State Flag – The Texas state flag sits at the back neckline, a longstanding detail that underscores FC Dallas’ status as the first MLS club in the state.
- Coordinated Look – The primary look pairs with blue shorts featuring red striping and red socks with white adidas branding and three stripes. The FC Dallas bull logo appears prominently in white.

BDS Take
I've been waiting for the return of a Hooped-themed kit from FC Dallas. This one certainly feels like it was worth the wait to see the club return to those elements in their primary kit.
I do get where some will think this is a Crystal Palace knock-off from a year or two ago, but it is a nice change of pace compared to the Hooped-theme kits of a decade ago.
The bold blue with the FCD red is something I think a lot of fans have been waiting to see. It almost makes me think it is a combination of some of my favorite past Hooped theme kits, too. Mainly, the two kits the team wore in that successful 2016 season.
