VANCOUVER, WA— Vancouver Victory FC (V2FC) are gearing up for their home EPLWA debut this coming Sunday May 4 at 2 PM when WestSound FC visits McKenzie Stadium. Gearing up—literally. The side has spent much of the offseason making sure there are plenty of options for their supporters in terms of fan gear. The list of items includes scarves, glassware, beanies, hoodies, shirts, jerseys and more. The club even handmade 30 European-style pennants to give opposing clubs and dignitaries.

On the pitch the Victory are sort of hiding in the weeds, waiting to announce a whole slew of college and international players that will shake their roster and provide a different look than the one the club showed in Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Bellingham. Off of the pitch, with a big shirt sponsor, multiple other sponsors, and all that gear, Vancouver is already moving to the top of the league in aggressive outreach.

Locals can buy Victory gear at NW Soccer Locker in Vancouver on NE 112th. Go see Austin at the Locker and see Vancouver’s new soccer store. V2FC is proud to be corporate partners with NW Soccer Locker.

As for the European-style pennant? Vancouver owner Barrett Goddard says it was a family effort, just like other pre-season Victory accomplishments. The club asked for a design to be printed on a long vinyl banner. Then the family hand-cut them, adding fringe and eventually the rod for hanging.
