Minnesota United on Friday unveiled its new 2021 "River" kit, the first all-blue uniform for the Black and Blue since it joined MLS in 2017.

It features embossed ripples on top that evoke the lakes and rivers that connect Minnesota. There's also a raised loon taken from the club's badge on the outside back collar.

The new kit replaces the white "Drift" kit introduced in 2019 and complements 2020's "Wing" kit.
