Columbus Crew Unveils Goosebumps™ Kit for 2025
The Columbus Crew is bringing horror to the pitch in the best way possible with the unveiling of their Goosebumps™ Kit, a striking new secondary uniform for the 2025 MLS season. Inspired by legendary author R.L. Stine, a Columbus native and the mastermind behind the Goosebumps™ series, this jersey is a tribute to both his spooky storytelling and the club’s passionate supporters.
The Goosebumps™ Kit features a sleek black base that serves as the perfect canvas for bright yellow slime oozing across the jersey. The dripping effect creates a chilling yet electrifying visual, setting this kit apart from anything seen before in Major League Soccer. But that’s not all—this is the first kit in MLS history to feature UV-activated technology. When exposed to ultraviolet light, the jersey’s graphic transforms, giving players and fans an eerie surprise under the right conditions.
Beyond its groundbreaking design, this kit holds special meaning for Crew supporters. The team’s fans have honored R.L. Stine on multiple occasions, incorporating spooky elements into tifo displays. One of the most memorable came in 2022, when Crew fans took inspiration from Stine’s book, The Curse of Camp Cold Lake, for an unforgettable Hell is Real Derby matchup against FC Cincinnati. Now, with this kit, the club officially cements that connection between Columbus’ soccer culture and its horror legacy.
With the Goosebumps™ Kit, Columbus Crew isn’t just pushing boundaries in design—they’re redefining what’s possible in uniform technology. The UV-reactive elements bring a whole new dimension to on-field aesthetics, ensuring that this kit isn’t just a conversation starter—it’s a game-changer.
Expect to see the Crew rocking this terrifyingly awesome look throughout the 2025 MLS season as they embrace their city’s legacy and turn up the fear factor on the field.
