Hippo Campus and Minnesota Aurora FC Unite for First Local Legends Collection of 2026

EAGAN, MINNESOTA — We're proud to unveil our first Local Legends release of 2026 with the debut of the Hippo Campus x Minnesota Aurora FC collection. Bringing together two of Minnesota's most beloved cultural institutions, this collection marks our first-ever USL Local Legends release as the series expands on to the pitch along with its return to the diamond.

The launch was celebrated at the June 17th Minnesota Aurora match, where members of Hippo Campus attended in person to debut the collection, meet supporters, and sign autographs for fans. The evening provided the perfect setting to introduce a partnership built around the same grassroots spirit that has fueled both the club's rise and the band's success.

The five-piece collection was designed to reflect the shared identity of two organizations that have become symbols of Minnesota's creative and community-driven culture. The Aurora have become one of the most successful and community-driven clubs in women's soccer, and Hippo Campus began their careers with grassroots support for their home state. Throughout the design process, we worked closely with both Minnesota Aurora FC and Hippo Campus to blend the visual language of the club with the band's distinctive artistic style, creating pieces that feel authentic to the supporters in both intersecting communities.

The collection features a series of custom designs that seamlessly blend the worlds of Hippo Campus and Minnesota Aurora FC into a shared visual identity. The custom Hippo Camps x Aurora crest is featured at the heart of the collection on the Constellation Kit, featuring flowing hand-drawn patterns that evoke movement, energy, and the endless skies of the North Star State. The kit was an instant favorite of the collection, selling out on its first night at the Aurora June 17th match.

The Retro Chute, a premium Chute 2.0-style parachute jacket adds a vintage-inspired layer to the collection. Crafted from a lightweight premium blend, the jacket features the collaboration's custom Hippo Campus x Aurora crest on the front, while the back showcases Aurora's signature four-pointed stars alongside custom iconography created exclusively for the collection. The chute also sold-out the night of the collection debut at the Aurora match.

Select items from the collection are available now online, in Hippo Campus' online store and the Minnesota Aurora team store.

Both Hippo Campus and Minnesota Aurora FC have built passionate followings through authenticity, creativity, and a commitment to representing Minnesota in their own unique way. It was an honor to bring them together for our first Local Legends release of 2026. The series will continue next week (June 26th), with Warren Haynes x Asheville City SC.
