We all live here. The Neighborhood Kit This year’s newest kit is an away kit, white in color, and is literally carrying the city with players as they take the pitch. The Red Stars once again pay homage to the city and its flag on this version of the Jersey. However, representing the blue stripes going across the chest are several of Chicago's neighborhoods and community areas. It's representing the South side, the North side, the West side and yes even the East side (you’re real one if you know what that is) all on one side of the jersey where four red stars are nestled between them safely. On the back of the jersey is the city's iconic skyline, and a shared commonality with last year's 2019 elevated kit, making it the perfect equal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1588297374234-BWV7HNAQGNF73Q86FP3T/IMG-4116.JPG Writing - We all live here. The Neighborhood Kit Those who are native to Chicago, will likely feel an immediate connection to this jersey, myself included. Being born here, raised here, gone to school here, ate here, done just about everything here —it was just normal for me, being from a part of Chicago that people have rarely heard of or have an even less desire to visit was common for me growing up whenever I encountered someone new in my life who wasn't from the 10th ward — the largest ward in the city. South Chicago isn’t known for its coffee shops, or even its parks. It might be a neighborhood people have heard about or associate with not so good news. For some, it’s known for being the skeleton of a working neighborhood home to former steel mill families. Representing Mexican, Jamaican, Polish, Irish immigrants and more. It’s not a neighborhood people immediately think of when they think of the City of Chicago. For me, it’s still that working class neighborhood. It’s a place my parents decided to start their family, before wanting more. It’s a neighborhood I'm fiercely protective of to this day, especially because you probably haven’t heard of it. Seeing my neighborhood on a pro sports jersey isn’t something I'd ever think I would see, and believe it or not, it's given me an even bigger sense of pride being from here. I hope we all get to see these jersey’s in action some way or other, and I look forward to hearing where everyone is from and pointing it out on the jersey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1588293200105-IYKNYDC68BAD76WFYPH5/IMG-4117.JPG Writing - We all live here. The Neighborhood Kit Since the beginning the Chicago Red Stars adopted the city as its literal branding and have a long history of producing epic kits in the game. So why does this 2020 away hit home for so many? Why did this bring me a smile in a time where joy is hard to find? https://www.southsidetrap.com/writing/diversity-inclusion-nwsl-media monthly 0.5 2020-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590429173809-GSP1UULGSGBHPKED3JJ4/Screen+Shot+2020-05-25+at+12.52.16+PM.png Writing - Look at all the amazing things said at the NWSL Diversity and Inclusion in Media panel https://www.southsidetrap.com/writing/red-stars-as-churches-in-my-neighborhood monthly 0.5 2020-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515901091-VTWPHQ9G3DMA74NKKMWW/IMG-4026.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood We're reaching the end of my personal archive, and I'm using this church as a bit of a catch-all now. This is your standard Ukrainian Village kind of church, fitting within a city block, rocking the art out front. Perhaps a little less intimidating than some of the bigger churches, but that in and of itself is a welcoming feature. This church is: Katie Johnson, Emily Boyd, Zoey Goralski, Nikki Stanton, Katie Naughton, Savannah McCaskill and all the new 2020 Red Stars we haven't really met yet. --------- Finally: BONUS CHURCH Holy Trinity Polish Catholic Church: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590514535217-B594F3T84PRETI5RKU6Z/IMG-4013.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood This church feels more like a fortress, with few extra frills. Brick walls, but if you look closely, some art peeks through This church is: Alyssa Naeher -------- St. George Orthodox: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515014049-9QE8000V8DC5YTFMP1XI/IMG-4101.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood I don't know why, but this church feels vaguely more churchy than the other ones? Unassuming, concrete, a festive angle to the cross on the door. Also, as I walked past, I saw what I assumed to be a couple lifting deadweights in the parking lot. This church is: Julie Ertz ------ Holy Innocents Catholic Church: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590514814404-XEIR7X2YFQ7WR7PAAK2N/IMG-4099.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood Another St. George. Slaying a dragon, but also maybe coming off the bench to score a clutch goal? Who can say. This Church is: Brooke Elby --------- St. John Cantius Catholic Church: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515474352-6GJ1J1UFDQRU862KHPUM/IMG-4014.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood I mean, look at it. This church is: Sarah Gorden ----- St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515574824-L7UYZIZB054HGQTE8E0Y/IMG-4002.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood The thing I love about this church is that there's so much to look at on the facade of the building, but then there is a whole new set of artwork inside the arches. This one's got layers. This church is: Yuki Nagasato ----- St. Helen Catholic Parish Church: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515331772-CCWNKRYU1PF22HOUAS3P/3C276993-BDC0-4423-9E32-023DC7F2456F.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood This church! What a new vibe! Glass! Color! A Spire! This is the future! This church is: Tierna Davidson ---- Holy Protection of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515691371-ZAH4WHQYSIVDJ8B9FK2P/IMG-4020.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood This is another church that was clearly built decades after some of the older Orthodox churches in the area. We've got: brutalist concrete, post-modern lettering, a distinct shape, and this one also has a very fun video message board. A tech element! This church is: Morgan Brian ----- St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515106570-9N9J3EYXZOO1U77MF8Y9/IMG-4050.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood This church is tucked just south of Chicago avenue. You wouldn't see it if you weren't looking for it, but once it draws your attention you see its got the structural integrity of many of the flashier churches closer to Ukrainian Village. This church is: Danny Colaprico ----- Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590514922269-LXOD2BXWZBVJZXPHHF4O/IMG-4045.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood This church is tucked in between two neighborhoods, between West Town and River West (if you consider River West a neighborhood). A true connector and a landmark in a space that needs it. This church is: Vanessa DiBernardo ------- St. Aloysius Catholic Church: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515817023-23Y94J5AIKDSJW9QMAZS/IMG-4008.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood This one feels a bit sleeker than the churches further west, with more ornate, western-inspired architectural frills than what you see in the Ukrainian Village. This church is: both Arin Wright and Michele Vasconcelos ----- St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Cathedral: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515394138-JVDHRUIPTZODJ163B444/4B166692-F729-4422-9B6D-1088EFF507E1.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood I feel protected. This church is: Casey Short ---- Saints Volodymyr & Olha Ukrainian Catholic Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515988144-K2PF36FN5BL7F51O0SHR/IMG-4104.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood I haven't seen this one on a walk yet, as I had its location on a map somewhat confused (I thought I had to traverse the intersection of Division and Ashland, which seemed hazardous. Turns out I do not.) So I hope to see this church in person again someday, but am using its presence as something to look forward to. Therefore: This church is: Sam Kerr https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e710b6fd54b65baef45b4/1590515255348-U70K4M660AV20TM98WPA/IMG-4034.JPG Writing - Chicago Red Stars as Churches in my Neighborhood Ok, this one I know a little bit more about. This was a Louis Sullivan design from the 1890's, for the Russian Orthodox Church. I love this one, it's a bit smaller but it clearly has the distinctive touches of the eastern cathedrals. An OG, connecting the past and present.
