We’re talking about a company that has made its mark in clothing and items sold to fans, which are often replicas.
That said, it’s going to be expensive: for such a uniform with a name and number, it’ll cost you… $625 (Canadian), and that doesn’t include taxes.

For such a uniform with no name or number on the back, we’re talking $500 (Canadian). That’s an alternative… but it’s not exactly cheap either.
That said, it should be seen as a new, more upscale product, which means you shouldn’t compare this price with those of previous uniforms. Because in fact, the Premium uniform is roughly equivalent (at a similar price) to last year’s Adidas uniform, while the Breakaway is a less expensive (but lower-quality) version.
Practice uniforms will also be released. They are unlikely to have a name on the back (the players don’t either), but they will still cost $140 (Canadian).
Price points:
Practice: $120 USD / $140 CAD
Breakaway: $135 USD / $160CAD for blank and $175 USD / $200 CAD for name & number)
Premium: $180 USD / $200 CAD for blank and $230 USD / $250 CAD for name and number
Authentic Pro: $425USD / $500 CAD https://t.co/36QHcsJCib pic.twitter.com/8grKJhMlnd– David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) September 21, 2024
That said, the price of the Authentic Pro uniform is clearly the one that’s causing a stir. We’re talking about an extremely expensive price, after all… and one wonders if sales will be there.

– MLS is cracking down.
I’m told the #CFMTL has received a significant fine following Saturday’s smoke bombs at the Stadium. MLS deemed it affected the safety & integrity of the game.
The @Collectif_IMFC will not be allowed to have smoke bombs in the last 3 games. All members welcome tonight
