As Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami comrades gear up for the upcoming MLS season, the excitement among fans is palpable. The anticipation goes beyond the return of star players; it extends to the club’s new kits for the season. Whispers of a third kit unlike any other are swirling through Miami lately. Forget your standard stripes, Inter Miami’s new jersey is drawing inspiration from a source unexpected, yet oddly perfect — NFL side, Miami Dolphins.

With the initial concepts of the jersey floating over the internet, it seems like the kit is poised to set the league ablaze. In the world of soccer, the showcasing of the concept kits by passionate fans is not uncommon. Recently, one Inter Miami supporter showcased exceptional design prowess, as they offered a glimpse into what could be the Heron’s third-choice kit for the 2024 MLS season. The concept, designed by @Tisan_Designs, has caught the eye of the soccer community, and gained widespread admiration.

The third-choice kit concept draws inspiration from the Miami Dolphins of the NFL. Will the iconic aqua color jerseys, synonymous with the 2x-Super Bowl champions, serve as the face for Inter Miami? Boasting an NFL-inspired V-neck collar, and a mint green base along with orange and white accents, the kit gains fans’ interest.

The iconic Adidas logo is positioned at the center of the collar, while the Inter Miami crest is adorned at the chest. As it seems like, if released officially, a surge in Lionel Messi #10 jersey sales is undeniable. With the introduction of this innovative third kit, inspired by the Miami Dolphins, the club is poised to generate buzz among fans.

Miami Dolphins and Inter Miami!

In late December 2023, ‘Footy Headlines’ released an exclusive leak stating that Inter Miami’s 2024 third kit would be inspired by Miami Dolphins. Fans will have to wait and see if it’s true. Till then, the fantasy kit might quench their thirst.

Additionally, distance between the Miami Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium is just a 25-minute drive from Inter Miami’s home ground at Fort Lauderdale. This adds a local touch to the inspiration behind the design. As fans prepare to witness the Argentine star’s comeback on the pitch, the stage is set for a visual spectacle.

Further, Messi and Suarez will reunite with the club having recently signed the Uruguayan striker. The two stars set the La Liga on fire along with Neymar, forming one of the most lethal attacking trios. Now Inter Miami will have two of the three former Barca stars in their attacking lineup.

Before returning to MLS action, Lionel Messi & Co. are gearing up for a series of pre-season friendly matches. One of the notable and headline clash will be against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Inter Miami will start their MLS campaign on February 21, when they host Real Salt Lake. All eyes will be on World cup winner Leo Messi when he returns to action.
