The New York Red Bulls go into 2016 looking very similar to the side that claimed the Supporters' Shield last year, but the new group will stand out in one obvious way: the new away shirt unveiled on Saturday.

The club pays homage to its original iteration with the most obvious MetroStars inspiration coming via the neck tape, with its black and red bars and the "Est. 1996" text:

The other obvious feature of the new jersey is the prominent display of yellow, one of the club's away colors, particularly on the sleeves. Here's a closeup of how the MLS crest looks on them:

And here's a look at the embroidered team crest and logo on the front:

The traditional Red Bulls callout also appears on the back:

The New York Red Bulls will sport this updated look for their first MLS regular season away game, March 12 against the Montreal Impact (4 pm ET, MLS LIVE).
