Uniforms design Options

On April 28 2008 we had a club-wide meeting and took a vote on Uniforms. Our new official club colors were unanimously chosen as Red and White. This was chosen mostly for economic reasons and to take advantage on years of most team wearing Red and White. At the the same time we choose not to force any team to change it's existing colors. SO if the Cobra's want to stay pumpkin and white then they are welcome to do that. New teams will all be Red and White going forward. Jim noted that our uniform blog entry and our Team Contacts and info page have grids that indicate each team's existing Uniform color as of 2007. If you team changes colors to Red and white please comment below. Or if your team changes contact information or wants to list a phone number etc please let Jim E know.

Where we get uniforms is not completely settled. THe majority of the resources, options and Discussion on the subject are located at www.ChallengersSoccer.com/logos.htm
All comments shold be posted below. We need your input and your feedback on th
e service you have gotten from vendors.
Eddie sent over these 2 uniform sources Eastbay and pack2 he says he has more sources
Soccer 2000 suggested to possibly look into choosing one uniform of choice for the entire club. This would help both the club and the store maintain a proper inventory of all required product for the club.
Brands carried by Soccer 2000 can be viewed at these links: 
adidas 
Nike 
Puma 
Xara
(these links are not to the soccer2000 website but I'll bet they are the same uniforms Soccer 2000 can get for us).
See photos and prices and logo artwork etc at www.ChallengersSoccer.com/logos.htm
Please review the uniform options in the links above and comment below. If you have a favorite just list the brand, style and colors. We can easily find them with these links above.

The Pythons as a whole have decided to stick with what we're using and order new for whoever needs one. Soccer 2000 should be able to accommodate this if we order soon enough. Prices are as follows: Jersey $22.75 Shorts $15 Socks $6 or $7.50, depending on style. They will silkscreen our logo (no setup cost) for $3 each, and will silkscreen numbers for $2.50 each. This is all per Brian Koenig of Soccer 2000. Pythons have gotten very good service from Brian at Soccer 2000
For shirts that need repair I think that Kim at "Embroid Me" will sew on numbers if you want. See links for her contact info on the web page linked above.
Kim at "Embroid Me" has our embroidery logo and can add numbers if you want. See links for her contact info on the web page linked above. I think that yer logo is too small for most of our players it was designed for our u7 team. Ask her if she can print it larger. I think that the screen on the front of our jerseys are normally 3.6" accross while her embroidery is only about 2.3" accross - Jim E

On 11/15 Eddie P had suggested that we talk to Nike about thier Youth Uniform discount program. Jim E chimed in with this:
Towards the goal of minimizing confusion for new players. It is bad for us and the uniform vendor when a challengers family orders the wrong uniform. It is almost as bad when a kid buys his uniform and then changes to a more appropriate team level and must buy another uniform. It is also an advantage for substitutions when a player does not have to figure out a new uniform to sub.
1. Please double check that your teams current uniform information updated on this blog page. Once it is all updated I will try to clean it up into a table.
2. If you are not using Soccer2000 as your supplier please post your uniform source and costs in a comment. Also post your sponsors and $ amounts if appropriate.
4. Teams who do not blog may be ignored in decision processes. Please blog rather than email on topic specific surveys as that saves everybody else time.
Finally: I would be interested in hearing what Nike has to say. I believe that the Nike carries these Nike Uniforms It may be helpful if Nike had uniforms in red that are similar to current uniforms. I believe that Soccer 2000 also carried Nike. Thank you all for your comments
