Partnership delivers modern performance gear and a bold new look rooted in Peoria’s identity
(APRIL 27, 2026 | PEORIA, IL) – Peoria City today announced a two-year partnership with Aretyn, naming the innovative sportswear brand as the club’s official team apparel provider. The agreement will outfit Peoria City’s players, coaches, and staff with performance gear both on and off the pitch, beginning with the 2026 season.
The collaboration brings together two organizations united by a commitment to quality, community, and design that honors Peoria’s heritage. Peoria City’s new uniforms, created in partnership with Aretyn’s design team, continue to pay homage to the club’s home city. The kits will feature the club’s signature diagonal pattern, a visual tribute to the six automotive bridges crossing the Illinois River into Peoria County and the city’s five city council districts — symbols of connection and unity across the region. The new design also includes a subtle representation of the city’s downtown skyline. The goalkeeper kits, meanwhile, feature a design that plays off the club’s unofficial Flying Carp nickname.
“Every element in this concept has been designed with intention,” said Aretyn design representative Fabio Menzel. “This isn’t just about creating a single strong piece – it’s about building a cohesive visual identity that carries through every part of your uniform set.”
Aretyn’s online store featuring Peoria City apparel will be added to the club’s website this spring and the team jerseys will be available for purchase in person on game days at Shea Stadium during the USL League Two portion of the season.
