Similar to 2024, today's announcement occurred simultaneously for each of the NWSL's 14 clubs ahead of the league's first official match, the 2025 NWSL Challenge Cup on Friday, March 7. Each club utilized colors and landscapes that are significant to the area where the 14 teams live and play. The emphasis on community is to celebrate the connection between the athletes and fans.

"Our organization is incredibly honored to represent the wonderful state of Utah." said Club Vice President of Marketing Tyler Gibbons. "For us to be able to shine a spotlight on the iconic Great Salt Lake with the donation from America First Credit Union & the kit design defines what our club is all about. Community first."

The 2025 Utah Royals FC kits, the 'Ascent' and 'Great Salt Lake' kits, feature jersey-front partner America First Credit Union across the front and the Intermountain Health mark on the right sleeve. Utah Royals FC remains one of several clubs that will feature an "Outer Pride" element in the "ONE UTAH", an homage to the Club's collective ethos of unity.

The design of the "Great Salt Lake" kit is inspired by the defining natural elements of Utah, paying tribute to the landscapes that shape life in the state. Designed to highlight the beauty and significance of the Great Salt Lake, the 'Great Salt Lake' kit aims to bring awareness to the ongoing efforts to preserve this vital natural resource.

In partnership with kit-front sponsor America First Credit Union, Utah Royals FC will contribute a $10,000 donation to the Great Salt Lake Trust, reinforcing the club's commitment to environmental sustainability and local conservation efforts. This initiative is part of URFC's broader dedication to celebrating and protecting Utah's natural wonders, ensuring they remain a source of pride for generations to come.

"As we continue to elevate our product offerings, we're focused on blending sport and lifestyle in ways that authentically connect with players and fans alike."

Engineered with key performance innovation materials, the new matchday uniforms feature Nike DRI-FIT ADV technology, delivering unparalleled support, flexibility, and breathability to keep players performing at their best.
