SACRAMENTO —

The Sacramento Republic FC announced Nov. 21 during an event at the Crest Theatre that it is partnering with Nike to bring a set of new kits for the new season.

The team unveiled two new kits — a Nike home and away — for the 2016 USL season, becoming the seventh franchise in the league to wear the brand. A third, alternate kit will be announced at a date to be determined.

“Nike is a recognized leader in sports and we are honored to have a relationship with such a game-changing brand,” said Republic FC President Warren Smith. “We are proud to wear the Nike swoosh and the values it embodies of innovation and inspiration both on and off the pitch.”

Sales for the 2016 kits will go on sale, both online and at the team store, on Black Friday.
