Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami debuted their latest kit yesterday, releasing the “Fortitude” shirt ahead of their 2025 season. The slick shirt features two tones of Blacks and Grays, along with their iconic Miami pink on their crest, sponsor and sleeve.
In a release, the club declared the new kit to be a “symbol of armor.”
The kits name, Fortitude, is derived from the Latin word “Fortis,” which means strength and the Spansish word “Fortaleza” which represents resilience and determination. Per the club’s press release, the two words come together to represent the heart of the club, the fans and the Inter Miami community.
2025 will be the club’s final season in Fort Lauderdale before they move to Miami Freedom Park in Miami. The Fortitude jersey is an ode to the city’s lasting impact on the club; a place where they broke through as an organization in MLS.
Miami recently announced the hiring of Javier Mascherano as their next head coach — with the former Barcelona ace joining the club as head coach. He played with Messi, Jordi Alba, Luiz Suarez and Sergio Busquets while at the Catalan club.
The Herons are in offseason mode, preparing for the 2025 campaign. They recently announced their end-of-year roster decisions, and will now look to the transfer market, free agency or other options to bolster their squad this winter.
