The Lacey Pocket Gophers Football Club will be launching their inaugural season with a kit reveal/fashion show at the Capital Mall’s Macy’s Court on April 14, 2018 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. It is sponsored by Capital Mall, Altman Audio, Sofie’s Scoops and ThurstonTalk.

The event for the adult men’s soccer team is free to attend, with opportunities for pictures with the two Pocket Gophers mascots, airbrush facepaint by JLO Magic, and the ability to purchase custom Lacey Pocket Gophers merchandise for the 2018 season.

“We want to bring the live, family fun experience of soccer to the greater Thurston County community,” said Troy Kirby, president of the Lacey Pocket Gophers. “Working with the Capital Mall on holding a kit reveal seemed like a natural fit to show families what type of entertainment we can provide this season.”

The Lacey Pocket Gophers kit reveal/fashion show will feature 20 adult men’s soccer players in the three versions of 2018 uniform kits, along with custom kits for the two Pocket Gophers mascots. There is also a free coloring contest for children to participate in.

Coupled with the kit reveal is a fashion component of the scarves, hats and t-shirts specifically designed for Lacey Pocket Gopher fans.

“We thought it would be a great opportunity for us to take all of the energy from the kit reveal and get people energized about our brand immediately,” said Kirby. “Guaranteed that you’ll see our team, or at least our mascots, in the community as we gopher-it!”

The Lacey Pocket Gophers are sponsored throughout the season by Thurston Talk, Michael Steadman for Lacey, Charlie’s Safari’s, Altman Audio, Steadman Properties, and Eastside Big Tom.

The first home match for the Lacey Pocket Gophers is May 5 at 7:30 p.m. at North Thurston High School’s South Sound Stadium. The first 500 kids get free water bottles in celebration of Youth Sports Night, and World Record Holder “The JumpRope King” Nat Jackson will be performing at halftime with 16 kids.

Ticket information can be found on the Lacey Pocket Gophers Football Club website.
