The expansion represents another milestone for a series built around the idea that the strongest connections in sports and music are often rooted in place. Each Local Legends collection pairs an artist with a team that shares their hometown identity, creating limited-edition apparel and headwear inspired by the people, places, and experiences that shaped them. Last week, Official League announced the 2026 MiLB Local Legends series which will include 10 new artist and team collaborations on the diamond.

The first release arrives June 17 with Hippo Campus and Minnesota Aurora FC, including a special game-day appearance from the band. The series continues June 26 with Warren Haynes and Asheville City SC before concluding August 22 with Iggy Pop and Detroit City FC.

"What makes soccer special is the connection between a club and its community. These organizations become part of the identity of a city, just like great artists do," said Alan Miller, Founder and President of Official League. "Bringing Local Legends into soccer allows us to celebrate those shared roots in a way that feels authentic to both the clubs and the musicians involved."

Each collaboration was developed alongside the artist and club to authentically reflect the spirit of the city they call home. Through original artwork, premium apparel, and thoughtful storytelling, the collections aim to capture the unique culture surrounding each partnership while highlighting the connections between music, sport, and community.

"One of the most exciting parts of Local Legends is uncovering stories that people may not know," said Monique Gilbert, Vice President of Music at Official League. "Whether it's an artist's connection to a city or a club's impact on its community, these collaborations with custom designs allow us to highlight the cultural threads that tie everything together."

As soccer continues to grow across the United States, clubs throughout the USL have become cultural touchstones within their communities, creating identities that extend far beyond the pitch. That community-first spirit is a major connection for the clubs to be a strong fit for the next chapter of Local Legends.

The collections will be available exclusively through select club retail channels. Each collection is anticipated to sell out, so fans are encouraged to sign up for drop notifications to stay updated on their favorite collaborations.
