PATERSON, NJ (April 14, 2026) — The New York Cosmos today unveiled a limited-edition Pride Warm-Up Top, a bold expression of identity, creativity, and community that will be worn by the team on June 6 in celebration of Pride Night at Hinchliffe Stadium.
Designed by award-winning New York City artist Rich Tu, the jersey sits at the intersection of sport and culture. Known for his expressive visual style and storytelling-driven work, Tu reimagines the club’s visual language through a lens of pride, individuality, and unity.
The design features vibrant color work and a striking sleeve pattern, paired with a reinterpreted Cosmos wordmark. Every element reflects a commitment to inclusion and the importance of showing up as your full self — on and off the pitch.
“It’s a reflection of who we are as a club and the community we represent. Pride Night is about visibility, respect, and belonging, and this design captures that spirit in a way that feels authentic to the Cosmos,” said Baye Adofo-Wilson, Majority Owner and Managing Partner of the New York Cosmos.
The Pride Warm-Up Top continues the club’s commitment to connecting sport with culture, using design and storytelling to amplify voices and celebrate the diversity of its community in North Jersey.
