FSC Uniforms

All FSC players must wear the official FSC uniform. Teams may not purchase and wear different uniforms.

Players that have not purchased a uniform should...

Purchase a uniform voucher from Mary Ryther, rythers@comcast.net, 508-548-2111.
Voucher cost is $43.00 by cash or check, payable to Falmouth Soccer Club.
Turn in the voucher at All Cape Sports and try on and pick up the uniform.
Call ahead to the store so that they can warm up the number press machine to avoid waiting!!
Numbers will be assigned either by Mary or at the store.
All Cape Sports is at #290 Route 130 in Sandwich, MA 508-833-8205

If a player is not satisfied with the size of his/her shorts, they may be exchanged (unworn) at All Cape Sports - if stock is available. Call ahead and ask if they have the size you want.

Cost of each kit is $43.00 (one jersey, shorts, and socks). Numbered practice/scrimmage T-shirts may be purchased for an additional fee. FSC paid for T-shirts for players who bought uniforms Fall 2007.)

We expect that these uniforms may be worn for several seasons, and they are numbered in such a way as to allow flexibility within age groups. The uniform style will remain available for as long as FSC chooses to keep it.

Please be sure you read the uniform care instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Why doesn’t the Falmouth Soccer Club buy uniforms?
The purchase, distribution, collection, sorting, and storage of uniforms was an extremely time consuming, inefficient, and costly program.

• Will players’ names be printed on their uniforms?
No. Both the uniform committee and the Club directors agree that having names on uniforms takes away from the team nature of the game. On a practical note, the committee wants to allow the possibility of handing down out-grown uniforms to younger players. Names would make that impossible.

• How much do uniforms cost?
The price of the kit (including jersey, shorts, socks and numbered t-shirt) is $43.00 for 2008.

• How do I buy a uniform?
The Club holds a “fitting night” in early November at which time your child will be fitted for a uniform, assigned a jersey number, and you will be asked to pay the uniform vendor in full. Delivery of uniforms will be in early March.

• What if I can’t afford to buy my child(ren)’s uniform(s)?
FSC will offer financial aid to those families that need it. Contact your child’s coach or one of the Club officers if you need assistance.

• My child’s team purchased their own uniforms in the past. Will I have to buy her/him a new uniform?
Yes. While in the past the FSC allowed teams to buy their own uniforms, it was never encouraged. The uniform program introduces a single, attractive uniform style that will be worn by all players, male and female, thereby establishing a single recognizable identity for the Club.

• Can my child have his/her favorite number?
Maybe, however, in order to keep age groupings free of duplication FSC will set specific number ranges for each age group.

• Can my child wear the uniform for more than one season?
Yes! Players should be able to get at least two year’s use out of their uniforms. For this reason, durability was an important factor in the selection of the uniform.

• How do I care for a Select uniform?
All Select uniforms have clear and specific wash instructions attached to the garment. However, there are some simple guidelines you can follow to ensure your garment maintains its new look. Because dark and vivid color dyes can have slight color transfer in the initial wash, we recommend you:

Launder the uniform before first wearing to minimize any minor migration of color. A cup of white vinegar will help further set the color.
Always machine wash in COLD water, gentle cycle
Do not use bleach or detergents containing bleach
Wash separately
Line dry perferably; tumble dry low heat if not. Select fabrics are light and quick drying

• What’s happening to the old club-owned uniforms?
We have requested that all uniforms be returned to the club. A set of uniforms has been donated to Lawrence School. Some of the smallest sizes will be retained for use by the FSC’s youngest players in a developmental program. The remaining uniforms will be donated to a charitable soccer organization for distribution in Haiti.
