Inspired by the Flag of Chicago, the Chicago Fire 2012 away kit is blue with horizontal lines that are created by using the stripes and four stars from the civic flag representing Fort Dearborn, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 and the Century of Progress Exposition of 1933.
The two stripes surrounding the four stars are created using a special ink to be raised with the red stars and light blue bar flat on the jersey. The back neck tape follows the Flag of Chicago by using the two light blue stripes and the four six-pointed stars in red.
