‘Nashville Nostalgia’ jersey
With its distinctively retro appearance and feel, the Nashville Soccer Club’s new “Nashville Nostalgia” uniform urges supporters to “wear the era” and travel back in time to the 1990s. It is a part of the 2025 adidas “Archive Collection” and will be the team’s first-ever third uniform. Later this summer, Nashville, South Carolina, will introduce a new clothing line that includes vintage shirts, coats, hats, and other items to commemorate the launch.
