Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride today announced a landmark collaboration with the Orlando Magic and the Orlando Solar Bears to release a special-edition “10 Years of Orlando United” commemorative T‑shirt. The initiative honors the 10‑year anniversary of the original Orlando United program created in the aftermath of the Pulse nightclub tragedy in 2016 and reaffirms the city’s shared commitment to love, inclusion and unity.
Designed jointly by all four major Orlando sports franchises, the shirt features the iconic Orlando United heart along with a ribbon commemorating the 10-year anniversary. All proceeds from the sale of the shirt will be donated to The Center Orlando by way of the Orlando Soccer Foundation, ensuring that funds directly support programs, services and initiatives that continue to uplift survivors, honor the 49 lives lost and advance equality across Central Florida.
“Ten years later, the impact of Pulse continues to shape who we are as a community,” said Kaia Forget, the VP or Community Impact and DEI for Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride. “This collaboration reflects our responsibility to stand together, support one another and champion love in all its forms just as our city did in the aftermath of the tragedy a decade ago.”
“The Orlando Magic and Orlando Solar Bears are honored to be a part of this collaboration and stand together with Orlando City SC and Orlando Pride in remembrance of the 49 lives tragically lost 10 years ago,” said Orlando Magic President of Business Operations Charlie Freeman. “We stand in support of the survivors, families, loved ones and all those whose lives were forever changed by the Pulse tragedy. The strength and resilience of the Orlando community continue to inspire us today. Through Orlando United, we will continue to honor their memory by fostering the kindness, compassion, unity and love that define our great community.”

The Lions have reached the postseason in six-consecutive seasons (2020-25), qualified for the Concacaf Champions Cup (formerly Concacaf Champions League) in both 2023 and 2024, and reached their first final in 2020 during the MLS is Back Tournament. In 2022, Orlando City won its first championship of its MLS era, lifting the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup trophy, which also marked the first championship by any professional team in the City Beautiful. Prior to its time in MLS, Orlando City boasted a decorated history in the United Soccer League, winning the league’s championship in both the 2011 and 2013 seasons.
In October 2015, the Orlando Pride was announced as the 10th team in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), bringing professional women’s soccer to the state of Florida for the first time.
