Forward Madison FC Releases 2024 Away Kit: The Rhythm Of The Lakes
Madison, WI – Forward Madison FC has released their 2024 away kit, The Rhythm Of The Lakes, ahead of their season opener in Georgia on Saturday, March 13th. For the fifth consecutive season, the away kit was designed with the help of the club’s independent supporters group, The Flock. In collaboration with the group, $5 from every kit sold will be donated to the Flock Soccer Foundation, designed to make soccer more accessible for the youth community in Madison.
“Supporters collaborating with their club on a uniform is unique in itself, but a portion of sales going directly to local youth soccer initiatives makes this tradition something altogether different and special.” said Flock member and kit collaborator, Andrew Schmidt. “When our team suits up away from home, they’re playing for Madison and the pride of the fans, sure—but more importantly they’re playing for the future of the game here.”
The Rhythm of the Lakes kit is a full white uniform that features five pink and blue, gradient lines down the front, each representing one of the five lakes of Madison: Mendota, Monona, Waubesa, Kegonsa, and Wingra. The cuffs and collars of the kit detail the drumbeats of “We Are Madison” from the supporter’s section on a Forward Madison game day.
“There’s something about wearing white kits on the road that I love,” said four-year Flamingo, Derek Gebhard. “Our supporters nail the kits every year, but this one’s pretty different from the last three years I’ve been here – I think [this year’s] my favorite away kit so far!”
Forward Madison FC will wear The Rhythm Of The Lakes kit for the first time this Saturday, March 16th, as they take on South Georgia Tormenta in the ‘Mingos season opener. Stop by the Forward Club for the FMFC Watch Party presented by Modelo. Doors open at 5:30, with kickoff at 6:30pm CT. RSVP here.
Fans can rep Forward in the new away kit soon. Preorders are available online now!
