2015 Orlando City Away – Kaka #10 Medium

In 2015, Orlando City SC entered Major League Soccer (MLS) as an expansion team, and their biggest signing was Brazilian legend Kaká, who wore the #10 shirt. As the club’s first Designated Player and captain, Kaká brought world-class experience and instant credibility to the new franchise.

Wearing the 2015 away kit — mainly white with purple and gold accents — Kaká was the face of Orlando City’s first-ever MLS season.

Despite being a brand-new team, Orlando City showed competitive spirit and drew huge crowds at the Citrus Bowl Stadium (now Camping World Stadium), largely thanks to Kaká’s star power.
