The Goosebumps™ Kit

The Columbus Crew today unveiled their newest secondary jersey, “The Goosebumps™ Kit” by adidas, in advance of the 2025 Major League Soccer season.

The Goosebumps™ Kit’s design celebrates Columbus’ own R.L. Stine, the writer of the globally recognized Goosebumps™ series. The predominantly black kit features a bright, yellow slime that seeps through the base graphic of the jersey, creating an all-over pattern that activates under ultraviolet light. It is the first kit in MLS history that features UV-activated technology.

The kit also pays homage to the Club’s supporters, who have celebrated the author with multiple spooky tifo designs. In 2022, supporters took design inspiration from Stine’s book, “The Curse of Camp Cold Lake” during the Crew’s Hell is Real Derby match against FC Cincinnati. The tifo caught the attention of Stine, who replied on X, “Go Crew!”
