Hirings
[edit]On December 20, 2023, the Red Stars hired former Jamaica women's national football team head coach Lorne Donaldson to be the club's head coach.[2]
On February 5, 2024, the Red Stars hired Servette FC chief executive officer Richard Feuz to be the club's general manager.[3]
Kit changes
[edit]NWSL apparel sponsor Nike redesigned all of the league's home and away kits for the 2024 season. The Chicago Red Stars primary kits were a patchwork of striped blue and white patterns emanating from the club's secondary crest with its traditional four six-pointed stars on its lower front corner. The club's secondary kits consisted of diagonally divided fields of dark and darker blue. The club's front-of-shirt sponsor was Wintrust Financial.[4]
Stadium and facilities
[edit]The Red Stars continued to play in SeatGeek Stadium, their full-time home since the team's 2016 season.[5]
