LAFC 2020: The Adidas jersey of a club conquering the MLS

In 2020, Los Angeles FC is no longer a newcomer to the MLS landscape — it's already a rising institution, a formidable franchise that attracts attention far beyond American borders. This Adidas LAFC 2020 season jersey, emblazoned with the sponsor YouTube TV, perfectly captures this pivotal moment when the Los Angeles club established itself as one of the vital forces in American soccer.

What this jersey represents

LAFC was founded in 2018 and immediately made a strong impression: from its first full season, the club showed clear ambitions, a strong identity, and a serious sporting project. In 2020, despite an MLS season heavily disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, LAFC continued to assert its sporting dominance in the Western Conference. In just two years, the Californian franchise had become one of the most exciting teams to watch in North America.

This jersey is the image of an ambitious project supported by serious investors, a modern stadium — the Banc of California Stadium — and an offensive playing style that drew observers' attention. The club's carefully crafted and strong visual identity, combined with Adidas's design expertise, resulted in kits that are already considered instant classics of North American soccer.

Moments etched in this jersey

The MLS is Back Tournament — Summer 2020
In response to the forced halt of competitions, MLS organized the MLS is Back Tournament in Florida, a unique competition in the history of American soccer. LAFC entered as one of the tournament's big favorites, with a competitive and sharp team despite the extraordinary circumstances.

Carlos Vela, the boss of Los Angeles
Carlos Vela, the most influential Mexican in MLS, wore this jersey in 2020. The former Arsenal and Real Sociedad player was at that time the face of LAFC, a ball artist capable of changing the course of a match on his own.

Bradley Wright-Phillips and squad depth
Bradley Wright-Phillips, son of legend Mark Hughes — sorry, of Ian Wright — who arrived at LAFC after his legendary years with the New York Red Bulls, brought experience and offensive density. The LAFC squad in 2020 was one of the most balanced in the Western Conference, capable of attacking on all fronts.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic jersey is not just a general public version of club equipment. It's the version worn — or close to what was worn — by players on the field: a more fitted cut, high-end technical fabrics, careful finishing, woven rather than printed badges. On an authentic Adidas jersey, every detail counts: the brand's three stripes, the quality of the collar, the sweat-wicking technology integrated into the fabric.

This LAFC 2020 jersey is in 10/10 NEW condition. What does that mean exactly? It means you're opening an item that has never seen a field, never seen a washing machine, never seen anything other than its original packaging. In the world of collector vintage jerseys, it's the absolute Holy Grail. A new jersey from the 2020s in new condition is not found every day.

Vintage size guide

Even if 2020 isn't "vintage" in the classic sense, Adidas sizes from that era — and more generally soccer jersey sizes — have specific characteristics to know before buying. An L size in the world of soccer jerseys often corresponds to what is now called an M in a modern cut. Soccer jerseys are designed for athletes, not for trendy oversized cuts.

Our advice: measure your shoulder width and chest circumference before ordering. If your chest circumference is 100-105 cm, an L will fit you perfectly in a fitted cut. If you exceed 105 cm or prefer a more relaxed fit, consider that this L will probably be better worn oversized. Once sold, it's sold — no returns possible on a collector's item in new condition.

Why have it in your collection

LAFC is one of the most modern and iconic clubs in MLS, a franchise built to win and make an impression. Its Adidas jerseys from its first years of existence already hold strong symbolic value for any collector of North American soccer. In ten years, when LAFC will potentially have won major titles, the jerseys from these early seasons will be sought-after pieces. This is exactly the type of jersey you regret not buying at the right time.

And now is the right time. Because there really aren't many LAFC 2020 jerseys in 10/10 NEW condition still floating around. Most jerseys from that season have been worn, washed, crumpled, lost in the back of closets. This one is intact. It's an objective rarity, not a marketing argument — a four-year-old new jersey is simply unobtainable in nature.
