Swope Park Rangers release kits for 2016 season

The Swope Park Rangers released their inaugural kits on Thursday evening, adding a surprising color to the Sporting Kansas City family of kits.

The striped kits will serve as their primary kits and are very similar to Sporting KC's secondary kits from 2014-15 and their secondary kit in 2016. The orange kit will be their secondary kit and came a bit out of left field, since it alludes to Sporting KC rival Houston Dynamo.

So far, reaction to the new kit, particularly the orange kit, has been positive.

Bold color choice for @SwopeRangers

@BlueTestamentKC @SwopeRangers 11/10 well done

@BlueTestamentKC home kit looks like SKC's secondary from year, and their secondary is plain and Houston colored. Disappointed!
