Real Salt Lake Introduces 'Peak Utah' Primary Kit

February 15, 2024 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
Real Salt Lake News Release


SANDY, Utah - Real Salt Lake today unveiled its primary kit for the 2024/25 Major League Soccer seasons, the "Peak Utah"kit featuring a mountainous silhouette across the chest above the Select Health logo, with alternating Claret-and-Cobalt vertical stripes and gold trim on the sides.

Media assets can be found here.

As announced Wednesday at Primary Children's Hospital, RSL has entered into an innovative new community partnership with Intermountain Health. Elements of that long-term union are represented on the 'Peak Utah' kit, as the logo of Select Health, Intermountain's award-winning health plan, will be featured on the front of the RSL primary and secondary kits, beginning with the 2024 season. Intermountain Health's recently-revamped "IH" logo will also be featured on the sleeve of both the RSL & Utah Royals jerseys for 2024 and beyond.

The "Peak Utah" kit is NOW AVAILABLE starting today at the newly-revamped Real Salt Lake Team Store, located on the NorthEast corner of America First Field (9256 S State St, Sandy, UT 84070). The RSL Team Store - now managed by Fanatics - is open Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Fans can also find the "Peak Utah" kit at https://www.MLSstore.com/en/ or www.RSLTeamStore.com.

"In our previous 20 years as a club, we've never done anything that shows how symbolic our mountains are for the entire state of Utah," Tyler Gibbons, RSL Vice President of Marketing & Game Presentation said. "When we were designing this a few years ago, our thoughts centered on creating a traditional RSL primary kit with a modern, localized twist. We couldn't be happier with the final product & can't wait to see it our fans & players wear it."

Real Salt Lake returns 10 of the 11 starters from last year's postseason series against Houston for the 2024 MLS season, as well as healthy versions of both FW Chicho Arango and MF Pablo Ruiz, neither of whom were able to start in that playoff round.

The 2023 RSL side amassed the Club's seventh 50-point season all-time, and just the second since the 2014 campaign. Finishing 11th overall out of 29 teams, RSL crashed out of the postseason by the thinnest of margins for a second consecutive year (Austin 2022, Houston 2023), dropping a road shootout tiebreaker in Texas. Based on that finish, RSL will be grouped with both Houston and Liga MX side Atlas F.C. in Leagues Cup 2024 this July.

Other 2023 RSL milestones:

Accumulated an all-time Club-best road record with 12 results in 17 away MLS matches, posting an 8W-5L-4T mark with 28 of its 50 reg. season points amassed on the road; RSL's previous road bests were recorded in 2012 and 2013, with identical 6W-7L-4T marks;

RSL's home mark of 6W-7L-4T was its worst since 2007, when a 4W-7L-4T record on the Rice-Eccles turf marked the 19-year nadir;

During a nearly four-month span from mid-April to early August, RSL dropped just three of 24 games across all competitions, including MLS reg. season action, its Open Cup run to the Semifinals and its initial Leagues Cup foray;

Thirty-two (32) different players saw action for RSL in 2023, including 15-year-old FW Axel Kei and 16-year-old Zavier Gozo making their Homegrown debuts, along with Academy products GK Gavin Beavers and DF Delentz Pierre also making their first-ever first-team appearances; a trio of rookies - D/M Emeka Eneli, FW Bertin Jacquesson and FW Ilijah Paul - made their professional debuts, while FW Andrés Gómez, MF Nelson Palacio, DF Kevon Lambert and DF Brayan Vera notched their first-ever MLS appearances last season;

Since April 16, 2005, RSL has enjoyed a prominent home-field advantage on Utah soil - posting a dominant 194-83-95 (Win-Loss-Draw) record across all competitions at home (1.82 points per game for a 0.649 win pct.) - since arriving on the Wasatch Front nearly 20 years ago;

Since opening its permanent home in Sandy just over 15 years ago, in October, 2008, RSL's 164-58-75 (W-L-T) mark at America First Field - home of the "RioT" Supporters Group umbrella - equates to a 1.91 points per game average and a 0.679 win pct, one of the truly amazing value proposition in North American sporting landscape today.
