Congratulations to @oaklandsoulsc on the release of their 2026 Official USL W League jerseys. EBRPD staff had a fun day with the team while they filmed their promotional video at Roberts Regional Recreation Area.
Spirit and Form.
The unseen and the seen. The energy we carry and the shape it takes. These kits are a tribute to both, to the soul behind the badge and the form it takes when we step onto the pitch and into the world.
Thank you to the East Bay Regional Park District (@EBRPD) for helping us bring this campaign to life and for sharing the natural beauty of the East Bay with us.
