Admiral ID / Forge Athletic Club

Forged in
Colorado.

Forge AC returns to the anvil for its deepest Admiral ID range yet.

Back to the forge

Strike. Cool.
Transform.

Two years after Forge Athletic Club’s first Admiral ID collection introduced the sparks-and-anvil visual language that would come to define its identity, the Colorado Springs club returns with its most complete range yet. Seven pieces are built from the same founding metaphor, refined, expanded, and pushed further into the details.

The new kits were photographed where the metaphor is literal, draped across a blacksmith’s anvil, and where it is geological, laid out on the red sandstone of Garden of the Gods with the Front Range rising behind. The collection tells Forge AC’s story with more precision than ever.

The mission has not changed: forging athletes into champions while celebrating the spirit of the Colorado Springs community. The club’s bold orange F, ringed in navy and stamped est. 2023, anchors every jersey in the collection.

Advanced League / Home

The Molten Line

Built on a navy base the color of a Front Range sky after dark, the home kit carries a single fine orange seam down each side, the narrowest possible echo of the molten line that spills from the forge before it is shaped. Everywhere else is kept deliberately quiet, so one thread of heat can carry the whole story.

The Cooled
Metal

Where the home shirt holds its heat close, the away kit shows the metal after it has cooled and set. A crisp white body carries navy raglan sleeves and the same fine orange trim. Against the red rock of Garden of the Gods, the pale shirt and rust-colored sandstone read as two versions of the same material at two different temperatures.

Goalkeepers / Two temperatures

The full life
of the forge.

Across the same halftone canvas, Forge AC’s two goalkeeper kits carry the full arc of transformation: heat rising and heat falling.

Cooling / 01

Ember Fade

A halftone dot gradient dissolves from hot pink at the collar to cool teal at the hem, like sparks losing heat as they scatter away from the anvil.

Full heat / 02

Molten

The effect runs in reverse, red rising into yellow, the forge captured at full temperature.

The Hammer’s Rhythm

Evenly spaced orange hoops run across a navy body, each landing like a hammer strike on the anvil: steady, repeating, and building the shirt one blow at a time.

Away

After the Hammer Falls

A clean white body, navy raglan details, and orange hoops mark the quiet moment after the hammer falls, when the metal has cooled and the shape is set.

The Forge at Rest

A black body keeps the training kit low-key on the practice field, while an orange collar, sleeve trims, and a single center-chest pinstripe supply the thread of heat that never fully cools.

Sparks carried
into the city.

Polos

Sparks off the anvil

One polo scatters orange sparks across a navy chest in a burst from the crest; the other renders the idea in reverse, with jagged orange marks across white.
