FC Olympia debuts new apparel ahead of season opener

USL soccer club FC Olympia is rolling out some new merchandise apparel for the 2025 season, as well as hosting an upcoming autograph session with a couple of local players at a soccer shop.

The Artesians announced earlier this month that the new apparel includes blue and green splash shirts with emblems on the front and “Artesians” emblazoned on the back, as well as beanies with license-plate style “Olympia” across the front and new baseball-style flex fit caps. New hoodies and decal packs will also be coming to market. 

The soccer club is also introducing a new line of summer scarves, which feature “Artesian Soccer” on one side and “FC Olympia” on the other side with the club’s 2024 released capitol-themed logo with the lower vintage horseshoe. The gear will be available for purchase at the first home match against Ballard FC at the Regional Athletic Complex in Olympia on May 16.

The upcoming autograph session will be held at Wembley Soccer Shop, 3700 Pacific Ave. SE, Olympia, on Saturday, April 5, and Saturday, April 12. Manny Nicasio of the USL men’s team will be on hand from noon to 1 p.m. on April 5, while Blayke Warner of the USL women’s team will be at the shop from 10 a.m to 10:45 a.m. on April 12.

“We live and breathe by who walks through our front door and those local clubs that continue to partner with us for their youth soccer kits, apparel and equipment” said Wembley Soccer Shop Owner Kurt Gress in a statement that accompanied an announcement of the event.

“We’ve been in the community over 30 years and still here and hope you come in to visit FC Olympia’s fun USL meet and greet and support a small local soccer shop like ours. Also get some fun autographs from some amazing local athletes.”
