players will be wearing an all-black jersey as their primary and red as their alternate.

Referred to as 鈥渒it,鈥� the jerseys were officially unveiled on Saturday, March 25 during a community match against FC Tigers Vancouver, hosted by Fusion Football Club.

They will be on view at Vancouver鈥檚 first Canadian Premier League (CPL) match on Saturday, April 15, a battle of British Columbia that will see VFC visit West Coast rival Pacific FC at Starlight Stadium in Langford, B.C.

The squad is scheduled to kick off its home schedule at Willoughby Community Park at the 91原创 Events Centre on Sunday, May 7 against Cavalry FC.

Sponsor CIBC, which was announced last November as part of the organization鈥檚 sponsorship agreement with the CPL and Canada Soccer, is on the front, and Carlsberg, which joined the league as a partner in October 2022, is represented as VFC鈥檚 sleeve sponsor.

The club鈥檚 2023 primary kit celebrates Greater Vancouver as a whole, with the names of the 53 cities and municipalities that make up the area, repeating over the front of the shirt to create an embossed pattern.

Vancouver鈥檚 alternate kit feature what was described as 鈥渁 classic hoop design in the club鈥檚 red and black colourway.鈥�

Inspired by the rise of Canadian soccer, it is intended to pay tribute to the people who have worked hard to elevate the game from coast to coast, including a maple leaf printed on the back of the neck.
