Our 2023 Atlético Ottawa “Community First” Primary kit has officially launched!
A lot of thought and creativity went into our new jerseys for the 2024 Canadian Premier League season. From the iconic red & white Atleti stripes, to the “Rideau-Blue” on the sleeves & collar and the #ForOttawa | #PourOttawa text embedded in red, this one might be our best yet! Of course we can’t forget to mention the initiative behind the jersey. This jersey battles food insecurity. For every jersey sold, Maple Lodge Farms will donate a case of their delicious chicken products to our community food centre partners, starting with the Caldwell Family Centre. This will mean enough food to provide dinner to 30 people, or six Ottawa families, every time a 2024 Primary Jersey is purchased.
The reception and support for the “Community First” Kit has been outstanding, so we wanted to share what people have been saying on social media:
Wonderful initiative. Well done, Atlético Ottawa and Maple Lodge Farms 👏🏼 #CanPL https://t.co/9hcmg9Z203

I love a good initiative behind a jersey, and Ottawa have done exactly that with this “Community First” kit
A classic design with a retro collar (that I’m a sucker for as well), what makes it even greater is what it does for the community that makes it all possible #ForOttawa https://t.co/3cXyMMoKxW

Atlético M̴a̴d̴r̴i̴d̴ ̴ Ottawa!
Canadian side @atletiOttawa have released their new ‘Community First’ kit for the 2024 @CPLsoccer season. Made by @MacronSports, the design mirrors the classic shirts of owners Atlético Madrid. Smart collar, buttons & cuffs – what’s not to love?! pic.twitter.com/M5RgYVc06K

Win! This is the kind of community engagement that growing clubs and leagues need. I could be wrong, but I believe people will be more apt to buy the shirt (and tickets) if they know that it’s helping neighbours who are struggling. Love this, well done @atletiOttawa. #CanPL https://t.co/r3pIC9OHV3

I remember when kits were home and away but to say I love the concept behind this kit would be an understatement.
Great job by @atletiOttawa to partner with @MapleLodgeFarms to help deal with the hunger issues plaguing our capital.
As far as the kit, it's athleti for sure… https://t.co/zZepzYTM76
