OYSAN Unveils The Official 2012 State Cup T-shirt

Ohio Youth Soccer Association North is proud to unveil the 2012 design which will be featured on the official State cup Tournament tee-shirt, as well as included on literature and other various items for the tournament.

The “classic” red-white-and look was designed by the State Office.  It features an emblem of the state of Ohio, along with a banner indicating the tournament and year.  The Soccer ball on the logo was strategically placed to indicate the northwest region of Ohio, where the bulk of tournament games will be played at Pacesetter Park in Sylvania (Toledo), Ohio.

T-shirts will feature a “new” off-center design.  The logo will be printed on a quality, gray adidas shirt, which will also include the adidas logo (back of shirt) and the National Championship logo (on the sleeve).

A mock-up of the tees and the pre-order form is available online at www.oysan.org on the STATE CUP WEBPAGE. Pre-orders will be accepted for t-shirt sales from teams who wish to order 5 or more shirts.  The cost for presales will be $15 per shirt. (Pre-orders will be available for pick-up during the round-robin weekend of June 1-3 at Pacesetter.) Sales at the tournament will be on a first-come-first-served basis, and shirts will cost $20 while supplies last.
