Monterey Bay FC debuts new CHARLY kits for the 2025 season

SEASIDE, Calif. (KION-TV) -- Monterey Bay Football Club revealed their new collaboration with CHARLY kits that pay tribute to the Monterey Peninsula.

The primary kit, the Sea kit, is inspired by the Monterey Bay coastlines with a pattern reflecting the ocean and bearing the words "Land and Sea" within the neckline.

The secondary kit, the Crisp kit, uses the team's Crisp blue color for the first time with a wave design similar to the club's crest and "Crisp and Kelp" within the neckline.

“We’re very excited for this day, it’s one that we waited a long time for. The color we were always meant to play in – Crisp blue – is finally realized,” said Monterey Bay FC President Mike DiGiulio in a press release.

Sports Marketing Director Mauricio Rodriguez Vallejo elaborated further on the partnership.

"We hope the fans love the kits as much as we do, and we look forward to our next
launch with the club," Vallejo said.

These are the first kits released from Mexican-based soccer brand CHARLY after a partnership was announced on January 2.

One more kit is expected to be released during the 2025 season.

The club is set to enter its fourth season with a primary and secondary kit, which begins on March 8 against San Antonio FC at Toyota Field in San Antonio.

An Opening Night game is set for March 15 at Cardinale Stadium in Seaside against the Oakland Roots SC.

Regular season games of the Monterey Bay FC will air on KION 46, FOX 35, and The CW Central Coast once the season begins in March.
