UNIFORMS: Fitting and Order Information

As a part of our ongoing partnership with Arsenal Football Development, the Arsenal Pre-Game jersey is part of the Annual Uniform Requirement for all teams.  The 2024-25 jersey will be available in the Lloyds online uniform catalog beginning with Uniform Fitting dates in June.  All UFA players for the upcoming seasons, returning and new, will be required to purchase the annual Pre-Game jersey.  (Please note: Arsenal changes their pre-game jersey style every year. That is why it is a required uniform item that needs to be purchased by all players annually.)  

The upcoming season will be the first year of a two-year uniform cycle so all players need to place an order. Once your player's uniform order has been placed, there will be NO exchanges. With that in mind, players are strongly encouraged to attend a scheduled uniform fitting.

Academy/Select (U9-U19) Saturday, June 8, 2024

Players will receive an email from sales@LloydsSoccer.com. (Please be sure to add this in your email contacts so it does not go to spam.)  This upcoming season will be the second year of a two-year cycle. All players will have to order the complete uniform package in June. Once the player's uniform order has been placed, there will be NO refunds or exchanges. With that in mind, players are strongly encouraged to attend a scheduled uniform fitting.

Additional uniform details can be found here. For questions, contact our Uniform Coordinator at norcrossuniforms@unitedfa.org.
