In honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day, the National Women's Soccer League's Houston Dash unveiled their new soccer uniforms Wednesday.

"We thought it would be a great way to draw attention to women in sports," Dash managing director Brian Ching said of the uniform release date. "Obviously we have a lot of strong role models on our team. We are proud of the fact they're great role models for girls in this community."

The Dash, which are owned by the MLS Dynamo, remained true to the Dynamo franchise's traditional orange. The Nike jersey is primarily orange with a Dash patch on the upper left side with white toward the shoulders and on the collar.

"We think it's something with people in Houston will identify with and love to wear," Ching said.

The Dash, which are led by 2015 FIFA Women's Player of the Year Carli Lloyd, will kick off the 2016 season on April 16 against an opponent to be determined.
