What to know

New unis

The club announced its new kits at three mural unveilings last week.

The home uniform is a jersey primarily in the team’s signature color known as “Torrey Green,” with an orange vertical stripe on the right side over the heart and white shorts with Torrey Green socks and orange trim. The away uniform is an orange jersey with Torrey Green trimming along with Torrey Green shorts and orange socks. The third kit is created for the goalkeepers and features a darker Torrey Green and black smoke design, which was inspired by smoke bomb flares club supporters unleash during games.

Promotions

There are a combination of 11 giveaways and theme matches scheduled this season. The Loyal will give away T-shirts, tank top and sunglasses, along with a Mother’s Day hat and a trading card set gift. There will also be a first responders night, military night, pride night, Hispanic heritage night and a fan appreciation day.

How to watch matches

Torero Stadium on the University of San Diego campus will once again be home of the Loyal. The club will play 17 home games as part of the 34-game USL Championship schedule. This is the first year there will be a balanced schedule in the 24-club league. The Loyal will face each of the 12 Eastern Conference teams once — six at home and six away — and 22 matches versus Western Conference foes, playing each of the other 11 teams twice. The regular season starts runs through Oct. 7.

All Loyal matches will be broadcast on either on Ch. 5/69, CW San Diego, ESPN+ or ESPN2.

Support groups

The Loyal recognize two supporter groups, The Locals and Chavos de Loyal. Both groups are made up of independent fan enthusiasts who organize, promote and cheer on the team at Loyal games and at community events.
