Birds of a Feather, Flock Together: Sets Four & Five

November 06, 2025 by Joshua Duder

Soccer’s Bird Brands Look to Land Again

Its been a few years since we released our first three sets of bird-branded soccer patches…

  • Set One: Grays Harbor Gulls (EPL), MPLS City (USL L2), Alta California SOL (WPSL), & AC Chehalem Valley (NWPL)

  • Set Two: PDX FC (USL L2), Lansing Common FC (MWPL), Temecula FC (NPSL), & Oklahoma City FC (WPSL)

  • Set Three: Union Omaha (USL League One), SA Runners FC (UWS/UPSL), Cook Street United FC (VISL in BC), & Hapeville City FC (Atlanta’s City League)

This year, we’re going big with two sets simultaneously! When we reached out for new bird-branded partners, the positive response was overwhelming!

  • Set Four: Tormenta FC (USL League One), Rio Grande Valley Red Crowns (The League for Clubs), Austin Rise FC (WPSL), & Spam FC (Minnesota Amateur Soccer League)

  • Set Five: Forward Madison (USL League One), Febre Amarela FC (Bay State Soccer League), Rochester FC MN (UPSL / USL L2 / USL W), & TLH Reckoning (USL W)

While soccer is the primary goal of soccer teams, the very best clubs do more than just “develop players.” They operate within their community to improve the world around them, whether that’s volunteering at a homeless shelter, donating time to youth outreach programs or even sharing resources with non-sport related non-profit organizations; the clubs we most respect are busy all year round engaging in meaningful projects.

For the above-mentioned teams, leveraging their beautiful branding to give back to their community or environment falls into that extracurricular non-sporting category.

Protagonist Soccer has teamed up with Calyx Design to help create 2.5” woven patches for each team involved and the set will sell for $20.

After we break-even by covering the manufacturing costs, 100% of the profits from each set of 4 will be divided 4 ways and a check will be written from Protagonist to the charity of the club’s choice - as the clubs update us with which charity they have chosen, we will update this article on our website as well as the two separate postings in our shop.

The sets will ship as soon as they are made and received by us. Help us support your club and community by picking up a limited edition patch set. Once they’ve all flown away, they’re gone for good.
