Thunder uniform shorts are NOT required. Parents may choose to purchase Thunder shorts if they would like.
*To receive your uniform in time, please order at least two weeks before your first game.
**Jerseys may be swapped by YMCA staff once games start to resolve any duplicate jersey numbers.
***Per the YMCA, Thunder, and Loves contract the Thunder/Loves jersey will be used through 2027. Participants are not required to purchase a new jersey in future seasons if they have a Thunder/Loves Jersey. Pictured below
