The North Carolina Courage's new home jerseys for the 2026 season pay homage to its home state. The team unveiled their new Venus flytrap 'Become' kit Thursday as the primary home jersey for 2026 matches at First Horizon Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park. The Venus flytrap kit introduces a new color palette to the team's wardrobe and gives the team three kit options for the first time. The Venus flytrap is one of N.C.'s most iconic native species. The release sent from Courage said that Venus flytraps are rare, precise and unapologetically ruthless—all qualities that also define the team. Native to Wilmington, the carnivorous plant inspired the kit's design, palette and edge. The kit’s ‘Blue Void’ base nods to the plant’s signature lure. Traditional floral patterns are reimagined with sharp, angular elements pulled from the flytrap’s aggressive silhouette, creating a look that is equal parts beauty and bite. Pink and Vapor Green accents flash through the rib detailing, collar, and crest in stark contrast, mirroring the split-second precision both the flytrap and the Courage rely on. Courage Chief Operating Officer Ralph Vuono said the new kit is the perfect embodiment of the team's vision. The kit was unveiled as part of a National Women's Soccer League-wide launch with Nike, with all 16 clubs introducing at least one new kit for the season. The Courage will retain both the blue ‘Believe’ and pink ‘Belong’ kits from 2025 to complete the ‘Place to BE’ trifecta: Believe. Belong. Become. The Courage begins their ninth season in the Triangle on Saturday, March 14, when they host Racing Louisville for a 7 p.m. kickoff. The new jerseys are a unique representation of the team's North Carolina roots and will be worn with pride by the players. The team's fans are excited to see the new kits in action and are looking forward to a successful season. The North Carolina Courage's new home jerseys are a must-see for any soccer fan, with their bold design and meaningful inspiration.
