Huntsville, Ala. (March 14, 2024) – Huntsville City Football Club unveiled today its 2024 “Countdown Kit” primary jersey and “To the Moon Kit” secondary jersey during an event at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. The primary and secondary kits were inspired by the Huntsvillians behind the Artemis missions, which aim to take man back to the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years.
Etched in the history of spaceflight and working everyday toward pushing further, “The Rocket City” is built on ambition, resiliency, and ingenuity. The 2024 kits will be worn during home matches and across the country during road matches as a salute to the great men and women who inspire us to move forward, dream bigger, and aim higher to the Moon and beyond.
“With the club’s second season just hours away from launch, we are thrilled to unveil our new primary and secondary kits,” said Chad Emerson, Huntsville City FC Managing Director of Business Operations. “The City of Huntsville has always had deep ties to American space exploration and discovery, and the new kits embody the past, present, and future of the Rocket City’s role in reaching for the stars.”
The “Countdown Kit” features the club’s signature checkerboard on both sides of the jersey underneath the sleeves, inspired by the NASA rockets born in Huntsville that first launched Americans into space. A T-minus countdown logo at the back neck of the jersey serves as a reminder that now is the time to give everything the team can on the pitch and beyond. On the bottom right front of the kit, a State of Alabama moonscape with a star over Huntsville honors the brilliant minds of “The Rocket City” who will guide our country back to the moon.
The “To the Moon Kit” is adorned with a Moonscape on the front. It is a reminder of what the city represents and is capable of, and what it aims to achieve in the future. The top neck features the phrase “To the Moon” as a proud statement of both the city and the club’s destination. The bottom right corner of the front of the kit also features an HCFC crest set on a flag jock tag including the club’s signature star.
The club’s official banking partner, Renasant Bank, returns for a second season as the team’s official front of jersey sponsor, with its wordmark proudly displayed across the chest.
