The secondary kit features a Serene Sky blue and white colour scheme and embodies the spirit of Toronto through a range of dynamic illustrations. Key design elements include references to local professional sports teams, iconic Toronto landmarks, and the names of famous neighbourhoods. “Designing the kit was more than just artwork to me; It was about sharing the diverse stories that make up Toronto,” said Erika Flores of INKSCRPT Illustration & Art. “I did a call-out on social media asking what people think of when they hear the word ‘Toronto’ and aimed for the design to resonate with everyone. I wanted people to look at the jersey and feel like they were an integral part of designing it because just like this city, just like AFC Toronto - it's ours.” “We are excited to finally showcase our secondary kit to AFC Toronto fans and couldn't be happier with this distinctive city-centric design," said AFC Toronto CEO Helena Ruken. “Working with Erika throughout the design process resulted in a jersey that authentically captures Toronto's spirit, community, and stories. AFC Toronto is proud to help champion every unique aspect of this city and we invite fans to wear this distinctive kit proudly as we celebrate our city and team this season.” As the Founding Partner and Official Financial Institution of AFC Toronto, Desjardins Group will proudly feature its logo on the front of the kit. Intact Insurance will appear on the back of the kit as the club’s Official Insurance Partner and Canadian Tire, the League’s Official Sporting Goods Retailer and Mass Retailer, will feature its logo on the left sleeve. In addition to her work with AFC Toronto, Flores has collaborated with prominent organizations, including the WNBA, Toronto Sceptres of the PWHL, Nike, NBA, and various media outlets such as CBC Toronto and CTV’s The Social.
