Oakland, CA - Oakland Roots Sports Club have released the 2023 Official USL Championship first and second MEYBA kits featuring Oakland Roots SC's premier partner Anthem Blue Cross as the front of jersey partner.

"We are stoked about the 2023 jerseys," said Chief Marketing Officer Edreece Arghandiwal. "We are always looking to tell stories of our history and this year's kits are celebrating the mosaic in our crest, the diversity of The Town, and it reminds all of us about why we do what we do here in Oakland...to spread love and be a club where all people are welcome."

2023 represents the third year of Oakland Roots SC and Anthem Blue Cross' groundbreaking community partnership, and we cannot wait to continue growing our Roots in the Community.

"As we enter our third season as the front of jersey sponsor of Oakland Roots SC, we are excited to continue our commitment to addressing health inequities and strengthening Bay Area communities," said Beth Andersen, President of Anthem Blue Cross Commercial Plans. "By working together with community-minded partners like Oakland Roots SC, we are able to leverage our collective strengths and help improve the diverse lives and wellbeing of the people in The Town."

We wear the mosaic on the sleeve to remember our Purpose. The kit maintains a sleek look that gives a nod to the first-ever Oakland Roots SC jerseys released in 2019. A lifestyle piece outside of game day, the jerseys can be styled in any which way.
