  Compression under-shirts in white or red, to match the color of the game jersey
  Compression under-shorts in red or black, to match the color of game shorts.

Game jerseys must be tucked in at all times.

 

PreGame  All players should arrive to a game wearing the same colors: their pregame jersey, game shorts, and game socks. Shirts must be tucked in at all times.

Following warm-up, players change to their Game Jersey 5 minutes prior to game kick-off. All players should have both game uniform sets and their practice T-shirts with them, along with their soccer bags, soccer balls, and water or sports drinks. Soccer bags should be lined up neatly on the sidelines.

 

 

Goalkeeper Game Uniform: for all season games and tournaments:

  Black game shorts
  Black game socks
  Either of the Texans’ keeper jerseys (yellow jersey, or green jersey)

 

Goalkeeper PreGame:  Goalies should arrive wearing their pre-game jersey and black game shorts. Following warm up, Goalies change to their game jersey 5 minutes prior to game kick-off.

Alternatively, Goalies can elect to arrive wearing their goalkeeper attire (jersey and shorts/pants). Goalies may elect whether or not to tuck in their practice t-shirt during practice, or goalkeeper jersey during game play, while playing as goalkeeper. Goalies that also have time in games as a field player, must change to the same uniform as their field players.

 


Attire After or In-between Games:

After the completion of a season game, or in between season tournament and invitational tournament games, players (including goalies) must change from their game jersey to their practice t-shirt. Being shirtless or wearing only a sports bra is not allowed. This applies while at the fields or while out in public.

 

In no event should any other shirt or shorts/pants/skirts be worn with OKT game uniforms at any time.

 

 

Cold weather gear:
Nike sweat suit should be worn to all games/tournaments when the weather allows it and uniformly by all players. For pre-game warm-up, if one or more players are not wearing their cold weather gear, then no player can wear their cold weather gear. Note: if over heating or getting too cold is a problem, then common sense and safety should be followed. Black head bands/ear warmers and black leggings may be worn during cold weather.

 

No hats are allowed at any time.

 

 

Personal Wear:
The following items are considered personal wear items and not required to be Nike branded:

  Soccer shoes (any color)
  Goalkeeper attire (gloves, goalkeeper under shorts/goalkeeper pants)
  Headbands, ear warmers, and leggings (black only)

 


Outside Representative Functions:
Functions such as club/team fundraisers, volunteer work with sponsors, ball boys/girls at local high school and college games, etc. are a good opportunity to represent the OK Texans. Practice uniforms, and cold weather gear (Nike Hooded sweatshirts and sweatpants) ARE allowed to be worn by players.


Note that players may also wear their practice t-shirt, Nike hooded sweatshirt outside of practice, i.e., to school, etc.


For travel to tournaments, team dinners, etc., players should wear their practice t-shirt and Nike
Hoodie as weather allows.
