Uniform Awareness
Parents & Players - Please Read

Northern Lights SC strives to provide our membership with a continuously improving program while maintaining costs
and above all else, protecting our youth.  One of the top things our players are concerned with is the performance of the uniform they wear, especially during the hot & humid weather of July and August.

Our uniform director has spent countless hours researching new uniform vendors, fabric performance and costs associated with upgrading our uniform kit.  The NLS committee is very excited about the release of our new adidas uniform; it provides the proven performance of name brand with the classic look that is synonymous with winning!

What’s Included - Two jerseys (home & away), one pair of shorts (green with white accent) and one pair of socks.

PLEASE BE AWARE- Modern day high performance moisture-wicking polyester fabrics are thin and very breatheable by design.  The fabric is engineered to wick sweat away from the athlete to help cool the body temperature and provide comfort.  However, we want our membership (most importantly our young ladies) to be aware that the alternate white jersey is thin and you should take necessary precautions at all ages to wear appropriate undergarments such as sports bras, under armour and/or tank tops.

Uniform Policy
As of 4/15/10

As part of the risk management and player protection policies of Northern Lights Soccer Club and in accordance with the recommendations of the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (MYSA), names of any kind may not be applied to uniforms.  As outlined in MYSA policies and as upheld by Northern Lights Soccer Club, we simply do not want our youth to be identifiable by predatory individuals.  Furthermore, altering the uniforms whatsoever is prohibited.

FAQ - Why can we put names on warm ups but not uniforms?
Northern Lights Soccer Club supplies uniforms and as the name implies, they must remain "uniform" in nature and therefore may not be altered.  Since the uniforms are supplied by the club, are mandatory to wear and are not purchased as a optional item, we feel it’s in the best interest of our membership and the responsibility of the club to uphold this policy for youth protection purposes.  Optional club apparel can be purchased individually through the online club store and therefore it’s up to each individual if they choose to have a name or nick name included on the articles purchased.

We are very proud to announce a new logo beginning to be used for 2010 (check it out on our website). With this announcement the committee has confirmed the below policy and thought this would be a great time to inform and or remind everyone about the use of the logo.

Updated Northern Lights Soccer Club Policy 2010
Ver. 1-32010.A
The Northern Lights Soccer Club logo or it’s name can only be reproduced on or applied to uniforms, apparel, accessories, or other sports related elements that are purchased through the Northern Lights Soccer Club or it’s store (store can mean physical location or online). The logo or club name can only be reproduced by Northern Lights Soccer approved vendors working under permission and strict guidelines of the Northern Lights Soccer Club. Interested parties desiring to use the logo or name on any aforementioned items may request permission to have items added to the store through the Uniform Coordinator; who needs final approval from the Uniform Committee and the Northern Lights Soccer Club President.

We anticipate 100% compliance with the above mentioned policies and wish you all the best in the upcoming Northern Lights Soccer season

Regards,
Bret Fields - President
Northern Lights Soccer Club
