Atlético Ottawa’s inaugural kit was revealed Thursday night in a virtual event that soccer fans in the nation’s capital won’t soon forget.
All but confirming its commitment to Atlético Madrid’s iconic red-and-white stripes, Ottawa’s classy strip was officially unveiled on a Facebook Live stream by six Atlético Ottawa supporters who had the shirts mailed to them earlier in the week.

One of the best kits in the #CanPL already. Love the blue collar, which is a bit of a throwback style, mixed with the iconic Athleti stripes. Was hard to fail, but they did everything right on this one https://t.co/hnGOKtanEV
