VANCOUVER, BC (April 2, 2026) – Vancouver Rise FC revealed today the club’s new After Dark home kit for the 2026 Northern Super League (NSL) season, inspired by Burnaby’s Central Park that surrounds Swangard Stadium.   

Highlights: 

• Inspired by the natural beauty of Burnaby’s Central Park
• The design is a reflection of the club’s motto, Stronger by Nature
• The Gold Pointed Star on the left sleeve commemorates Vancouver Rise FC as winners of the inaugural NSL Championship 

"It was incredible to see the passion and support for Vancouver Rise FC in their inaugural season at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby, and we're excited for the team's return for another season at this iconic and historic soccer venue," said City of Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley. "Our community takes great pride in our parks and greenspaces, and to see the Central Park imagery reflected in the Rise FC kits this year is something truly special for Burnaby." 

The After Dark kit design is rooted in the local community, drawing inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds Rise FC’s home stadium. The artwork features layered trees that evoke depth and movement, capturing the quiet energy of looking up through the trees at night and the feeling of being surrounded by nature. 

All crest colours are represented throughout the design, with the addition of complementary tones that bring warmth and visual balance. Paired with classic shorts and socks, the kit blends tradition with storytelling, celebrating Burnaby’s iconic landscape in a bold, elevated way. 

The Sunshine Kit will return for 2026 as Rise FC’s secondary kit, and both kits will carry a defining mark of Rise FC history. The Gold Pointed Star on the left sleeve commemorates the club as the inaugural winners of the NSL Championship. The patch represents the highest achievement in the league, as Rise FC continue to embody excellence and ambition.
