Uniform Specifications
AYSO’s Official Uniform Sponsors, August Sportswear and SOCCER.COM, are the preferred providers of uniforms.
Each chartered, pilot and/or affiliate AYSO Region shall provide for team members to wear a matching team uniform consisting of a jersey or t-shirt, shorts and socks through either bulk ordering or via a link for the parents to purchase directly. Such uniform shall be properly marked with the AYSO Traditional logo, described in Exhibit “A” of these AYSO Brand Specifications.
To include local sponsor/city/community/neighborhood or special event markings on either their uniform sleeve or short, the Region may submit an AYSO National Uniform Variance Application to the National Office Marketing Department.
These markings may not interfere with the AYSO branding. If there are questions of interpretation or additional flexibility needed, please contact the AYSO National Office Marketing Department at marketing@ayso.org.
