Now both the text and numbers match in color on their home uniforms after going with red and blue. The text also remains the same as the previous jerseys. They’ve gone with a multiple color look around the edges with three strands instead of two.

Seven stars trickle down the sides with four on the jersey and three on the shorts.The shorts also match the uniforms color pattern presenting a correlating and effective look.
