Sydney FC has agreed a new three season partnership with global sportswear giant Under Armour and will continue to wear playing strips and uniform made exclusively for Sydney FC.

Since the launch of the partnership in July 2019, Under Armour have taken into account Sydney FC’s brand uniqueness and modelled their distinctive designs on the ‘built for Sydney’ concept.
Sydney Opera House ceramic roof tiles have been sublimated into the designs in various forms and on numerous occasions, while the conceptualisation of the Sydney skies has had a major influence on the design colours.
The iconic motto ‘Sydney Is Sky Blue’ has also been a regular feature on the back of each jersey.

“Collaborating with Sydney FC on the ideation, design and production of their iconic Sky Blue kits continues to be a great honour for us as they represent the fabulous city of Sydney. This partnership enables us to provide performance solutions for the players, while emotionally connecting with the fans”
“We have enjoyed being on this journey so far with the club, in particular as they have built their fanbase for the women’s squad which has dominated the comp this season. We look forward to another three years of bringing “Protect this House” to life through the teams, club members and fans”.
