Spokane soccer: USL Spokane signs multi-year partnership with Spokane Tribe of Indians
The owners of USL Spokane have signed a multiyear partnership with the Spokane Tribe of Indians.
This year, fans will see the tribe’s logo displayed on the front of the Velocity’s shorts and on the front of their jerseys.
The groups also plan to annually design a commemorative Salish kit, which the team will wear on a designated match that will be sponsored by the tribe. The special kit will go on sale at the team store at the Davenport Grand Hotel one week before the match date.
This year’s collaborative kit can be purchased Sunday at the store in ONE Spokane Stadium during Spokane’s season opener against Knoxville at 4 p.m. More information regarding the special 2025 uniform will be released later.
