UNION OMAHA RELEASES NEW HUMMEL ‘CROP CIRCLES’ SECONDARY JERSEY

The white jersey features purple accents, an agriculture-inspired pattern and the names of each county in Nebraska

PAPILLION, Neb. (April 2, 2024) – Union Omaha released its second new jersey of the 2024 season today via its official X account. The Hummel jersey, titled “Crop Circles,” features a textured crest and OMA jock tag details in purple on a white, patterned base.

The pattern, a repeating mixture of circles, squares, spherical text and small logos, is a nod to the appearance of Nebraska’s farmland from above. Center pivot irrigation creates circles within square plots spread across many of Nebraska’s counties, the 93 names of which are “hidden” in spherical shapes across the jersey. In addition, small Union Omaha logos of various types and other unique touches can be found within the pattern.

The jersey, on sale today at shop.unionomaha.com, is adorned by four of Union Omaha’s most prestigious and valued local partners, reflecting the club’s commitment to the community. 

Centris Federal Credit Union – whose official logo provided the shade of purple used on the jersey – was founded in 1934 and is one of Nebraska’s largest federally-chartered community credit unions.
