Colorado Rapids Away Jersey

The Colorado Rapids Away jersey keeps the traditional light blue predominate color of previous Rapids away uniforms. There are also several maroon patches on the jersey including the typeface. The manufacturers are Adidas who include their logo centrally under the collar and the three stripes alongside the shoulders. There is no current sponsor for the new jersey meaning that the word “Colorado” runs across the middle.

All in all, the design looks a lot more modernized than the 2008 jersey and the blend of maroon and light blue gives it a classy feel.
