In a celebration of one of the most iconic female artists of all time, St. Louis CITY SC have unveiled 'The Tina Turner Kit', a historic collaboration with adidas honouring the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll and her deep ties to St. Louis.
The MLS team’s homage to Tina Turner marks the first adidas collaboration with a female music artist on a kit across global sport and includes a number of cultural events to celebrate her impact on St. Louis, including a concert with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra (SLSO), a Tina-focused pop-up shop, and a music-themed community education initiative for youth and young adults.
Born Anna Mae Bullock, Tina Turner moved to St. Louis at 16, where she find her voice performing in clubs across the region before becoming a global force – redefining performance, style, and female power on her own terms. Her story of reinvention and
resilience mirrors the ethos of the city that shaped her.
Inspired by Turner’s electrifying stage presence, The Tina Turner Kit shimmers in gold – echoing the movement of her glamorous attire and the energy of her live performances. Her silhouette appears in metallic gold on the kit’s authentication tag, while her signature, rendered in CITY Red, nods to her iconic lipstick and nails.
Accented in black are Founding Partner and front-of-jersey sponsor Purina, Founding Partner BJC Healthcare on one sleeve, and an MLS and Apple TV patch lockup on the other. Designed in partnership with adidas and BMG, custodians of Turner’s music and image rights, the kit will serve as the club’s secondary jersey for the 2026 and 2027 Major League Soccer seasons.
“Not only did Tina Turner change music, she impacted culture over decades and continues to permeate it today,” said Carolyn Kindle, CEO, St. Louis City SC. “It is a profound honour to celebrate her influence and legacy. St. Louis has long been home to so many artists who have shaped music history and Tina stands at the top of that list.”
The Tina Turner Kit anchors a citywide celebration that extends beyond the pitch and will be highlighted by Eternal: A Tribute to Tina Turner presented by Purina, a Tina Turner tribute performance by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra on Sunday 15 February. at Powell Hall at the Jack C. Taylor Music Center.
