Uniforms
U5s and U6s.
We stock a reversible (red and white) jersey (size Youth Small) with a pair of red socks that we sell for $20 (subject to vendor prices). We have also have reversibles in Youth Large (with older logo) that we sell (without socks) for $10. This is a very convenient and economical choice for the U5s and U6s, as they do not have to keep track of two jerseys.
U7s and Above
For the U7 and above teams we stock a SCORE "Costa Rica" uniform set in the youth sizes only (YS, YM, and YL), which includes one red jersey, one white jersey, blue shorts, and red socks for only $35 (subject to vendor prices). Click here for the link to the jersey style. These have numerals already pressed on the back of each jersey. Be sure to have some options in terms of numerals. We currently have 55 YS uniforms, 40 YM uniforms, and 55 YL uniforms in various numberls from 1 thrrough 18.
We also have some 90 SCORE "Austria" Uniform Set in AS and AM only, which includes one red jersey, one white jersey, blue shorts, and red socks for only $25 (subject to vendor prices). Click here for a view of the entire uniform. These have numerals already pressed on the back of each jersey. Be sure to have some options in terms of numerals,
Finally, you may buy directly from a vendor. You should keep the price range for a total uniform around $25-$35. You should either have extra uniforms or be able to readily purchase uniforms for players that might be added to your team.
