Orlando City is one of those founding clubs of a new era of American soccer, and Kaká's presence at the club during this period gives it a special status in the franchise's history. This \u003cstrong\u003e2017-18 Adidas home jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e with the Orlando Health sponsor is a piece that represents a pivotal season, at the crossroads of pioneers and the growing ambition of US soccer on the global stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThere aren't many Orlando City jerseys from that era in \u003cstrong\u003e9\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e.
