Ahead of the 2022 season, sportswear company Macron and the Canadian Premier League have unveiled the primary kits of its eight clubs: HFX Wanderers FC, Atlético Ottawa, York United FC, Forge FC, Valour FC, FC Edmonton, Cavalry FC and Pacific FC.
Each jersey is uniquely-designed to represent the cultural distinctions of each club, outfitted with custom graphics emblematic of their respective communities.

Starting today, fans can shop the official 2022 league kits via their respective teams’ sites.
