WHAT THE CAMERA SPOTTED

<p>The new design, created by Adidas, is a design that blends innovation with local culture. The predominantly black jersey features a striking UV-reactive yellow slime pattern, creating a visual effect that changes under different lighting conditions. This unique design pays homage to the Goosebumps book series, connecting the team to Columbus native and series author R.L. Stine.</p><p>A special Goosebumps tag features on the lower left of the jersey while their main sponsor, Nationwide, features prominently in the center of the kit.</p><p>“We are proud to launch The Goosebumps™ Kit as a celebration of Columbus’ own R.L. Stine and our dedicated supporters, who have celebrated the author with several incredible tifo designs,” said Katie Foglia, Crew Vice President, Marketing &amp; Brand Strategy. “In the Crew’s 30th MLS Season, the kit design reinforces Columbus’ position as the original Club in MLS with a history of firsts and our desire to share powerful stories that connect generations of fans on and off the pitch, all while striking fear into our opponents on matchdays.”</p>
