VOTE: #cf97ThirdKit Finalists Unveiled

Third Kit DL

We are excited to unveil the top five semifinalists in the Chicago Fire Soccer Club #cf97ThirdKit Design Contest.

A special thank you to all the designers who submitted designs. The judging committee composed of Fire and Quaker staff, narrowed it down to the top five based on "overall appearance, originality/creativity, style and quality of the design." Once the committee agreed on the five designs, we worked hand-in-hand with adidas and the designers individually so that each design would be as close to production ready for when they are officially up for vote – starting right now.
