Returning players will be able to re-use their uniforms from 2024 and can purchase individual items that need replacement. Additional uniform elements may also be introduced. New players to Yolo will buy a uniform bundle that will be approximately $175. Our team store offers a variety of additional gear for purchase by players, families and fans.
