'Twas the Night Before Christmas (in August)..

The brand new Utah Soccer locker room looks quiet right now; however, it will be rocking with new gear...just like Christmas... tomorrow!











Well, we are now just hours away from the beginning of our preseason...the players are tucked in their beds with visions of sugar plums (or Under Armour gear) dancing in their heads...



The beginning of training is exciting with a new team and new players around...it is also the time for new gear! Our players like to call it Christmas in August. All kinds of new training shirts, shorts, sweats, travel bags, running shoes, sports bras, shin guards and more!







On with training and the journey with a new team!

More about the new locker room to come...it is about 80% done but some important new features to come soon!

STAY TUNED...

Under Armour, Sponsor of Ute Soccer, and Its Fast Rise

As many of you know, the Utes started a 5-year contract with Under Armour this fall. Under Armour is our exclusive provider of equipment and uniforms. They have been a wonderful partner so far with great looking gear and fantastic service. You can see the home whites here as worn by freshman defender, Lauren Porter.

If you don't know the story behind Under Armour and its incredibly fast rise in the sports market place, we found a great article at SI.com that talks about the company and Kevin Plank, the founder. Kevin was a walk-on at the University of Maryland football team. He started out with an idea that athletes needed a better product than just the old cotton t-shirt to wear under their uniforms. At 23 years of age, he took all of his money and started working out of his parents' house...And he has turned that into a world-wide success...what a great and inspiring story...
