The Chargers SC continues to be a proud Nike club. For the upcoming 2017-18 season, competitive families will purchase their Nike uniform kits through WeGotSoccer, a premier national-level online team uniform vendor for more than 20 years.
The WeGotSoccer online Chargers store includes not only the 2017-18 required uniform kit, but also a Fanwear page full of hoodies, warm-ups, t-shirts, jackets, hats and other great Chargers Fanwear products. Uniform orders need to be placed by 6/20/17. Fanwear can be purchased anytime throughout the season.
Charger members will also be provided a special Rewards Code to receive a 10% discount on each order PLUS a 5% rebate to use on future orders. Please ensure you create a WeGotSoccer account during your ordering process to ensure the system accurately processes your discount & rewards (e.g. do not check-out as a Guest Shopper).
This is the beginning of a new two-year uniform cycle so all pieces will be required of all players for 2017-18 and will also be used for the 2018-19 season as well.
The Nike offerings are different from the 2016-17 season. ALL uniform kit pieces are NEW STYLES and are NEW for all players (except the practice T & practice shorts for returning players); therefore, ALL items are required for all players to purchase for the 2017-18 season. The ONLY exception is if returning players have enough properly sized Practice Ts and/or Practice Shorts from the 2016-17 season – those items are the same as what we used this year.
The REQUIRED uniform kit includes:
@ the ONLY 2 items that RETURNING players do not need to order IF they have enough of each to get you through the 2017-18 season. ALL other items are required of ALL players.
A full uniform kit (after inputting the Chargers Rewards Code) will cost $211.50 + tax & shipping and you will get $10.57 to use for a future order. Remember this purchase will be used for both the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.
A link to the Chargers uniform ordering site will be provided to members in early to mid-May. Size samples will then be available in each community. Check them out so you are ready to place your order.
Deadline to place your uniform order is 6/20/17. Fanwear can be purchased anytime during the season.

Who is our new Uniform Vendor?
Our new uniform vendor is WeGotSoccer (WGS). WGS is a national online team uniform vendor for more than 20 years. The Chargers also continues to be a proud Nike Premier Club. We researched several different companies this year and not only did WGS stand out from the others, but Nike also provided a glowing recommendation for them. We have been working closely with them for the last 6 months to ensure that our uniform process for the new season will be a wonderful and professional experience for our members.
WGS has created our online ordering site for uniforms and terrific Chargers Fanwear: https://www.wegotsoccer.com/chargers. While on that site they offer Online Chat (icon in the bottom right corner) directly to their Customer Service Department plus the direct phone number is 1-800-974-4625, Ext 2.
Are the game jerseys & shorts a different style for 2017-18?
Yes, they are different from what we have had in the past. Each year, like most mercantile companies, Nike changes their product line. When the new Nike catalog came out for soccer, we picked from what Nike listed in their offerings that would be available in their line for the next 2 seasons. The game jersey & shorts styles that we had this past year were no longer available.
This is the beginning of a new two-year uniform cycle so all pieces will be required for the 2017-18 and will also be used for the 2018-19 season as well. So, you will not have to purchase them again next year (as long as the items still fit, are in good condition and the player keeps the same jersey #).
To that end, please ensure you order in sizes that that help your child use them for the next two seasons.
What are REQUIRED uniform items for NEW players?
The required uniform kit for New players is everything in the following list:
When you go out to the uniform ordering site (www.wegotsoccer.com/chargers) and click on the "Uniforms" tab in the left margin, the first item is the grouping for the "New Player Kit" (pictured as follows). After clicking on that item, the system will take you through each piece so that you can input the jersey #s and choose your child's size(s).
Your costs is $235 - the 10% rewards discount = $211.50 and you'll also have $11.75 in rewards points to use on a future order.
The charge for that full kit is less than if you individually purchased each of the items separately - 3.8% less ($235 vs. $244).
This is the beginning of a 2-year uniform cycle. The kit purchased this year will be able to be used next year as well (as long as the items still fit, are in good condition and the player keeps the same jersey #). To that end, please ensure you order in sizes that that help your child use them for the next two seasons.
What are REQUIRED uniform items for RETURNING players?
The required uniform kit for returning players is the following:
@ the only 2 items that returning players do not need to order IF they have enough practice Ts & Shorts from the 2016-17 season to wear at every practice and game warm-ups.
ALL other items are required of all players.
When you go out to the uniform ordering site (www.wegotsoccer.com/chargers) and click on the "Uniforms" tab in the left margin, the second item is the grouping for the "Returning Player Kit" (pictured as follows). After clicking on that item, the system will take you through each piece so that you can input the jersey #s and choose your child's size(s).
Your costs is $195 - the 10% rewards discount = $175.50 and you'll also have $9.75 in rewards points to use on a future order.
The charge for the full Returning Player kit is less than if you individually purchased each of the items separately - 3% less ($195 vs. $201).
This is the beginning of a 2-year uniform cycle. The kit purchased this year will be able to be used next year as well (as long as the items still fit, are in good condition and the player keeps the same jersey #). To that end, please ensure you order in sizes that that help your child use them for the next two seasons.
Yes, they are REQUIRED of all players (new & returning) this season. Backpacks have not been a required in the past couple of years and in the past few years, very few have been ordered or were available by our prior vendor.
New this year, WeGotSoccer will embellish the bags with the Charger logo & player jersey # which will make it easier to tell the bags apart piled behind the bench at games or at practices.
This is also a true soccer backpack with the bottom compartment that unzips and reveals a soccer ball netting for each ball transport.
As with the rest of the uniform pieces, all items are required this year, but for returning players the following season, you will not need to purchase the backpack again for 2018-19 season.
My child is a GK. What are we required to order for a GK?
This is a great question!! Goalkeepers that are dedicated GKs (never playing in the field), do not need to purchase the whole required kit. Here is what a GK is required to order from the Uniforms page:
NOTE: If the GK is also a field player from time to time, then that player would need the full Required Uniform Kit plus their choice of a GK jersey (short- or long-sleeved).

Yes, there is a Chargers Warm-Up Jacket/Top and Pant.
Many times individual players or a whole team want to order a club warm-up for added warmth when needed and to look uniform with the team. There are 2 places to look for that.

Can I order items like hoodies, shirts, jackets, hats, visors, car magnets, etc.?
This year we have many Spirit Wear or Fanwear items to tickle the fancy of Mom, Dad, siblings, grandparents and other family & friends.
Click on the Fanwear Tab in the left margin of the uniform site (www.wegotsoccer.com/chargers).
