Our Horner Memorial Library — with its soaring ceilings, ornate woodwork, and thousands of rare German-language volumes — provided a dramatic and historic backdrop for this exciting moment in Philadelphia sports. The contrast between the Union’s modern kit and our 19th-century architecture created a powerful visual story: tradition meets innovation.
The Union’s
1776 Kit symbolizes the birth of this nation and reflects the core values of the club — unity, resilience, and pride. Unveiling a jersey inspired by America’s founding inside a building established in 1764 created a meaningful connection between Philadelphia’s past and present. As our city prepares to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, moments like these remind us how deeply history continues to shape our community.
We are proud to support the Union and look forward to cheering them on throughout the season.
