You've probably heard by now that Eastside FC has selected a new distribution partner for uniform provision next year. We'd like to introduce Eurosport to you. Many of you may know them as Soccer.com. They are the world's largest supplier of soccer equipment.
Suzi Kuenster, EFC's Uniform Program Manager, has done yeoman's duty for the last year with regard to our uniform program. In an effort to provide robust order entry and fulfillment capability for the club, Suzi spent the better part of 4 months defining our distribution requirements, talking with vendors, visiting several sites, including Eurosport in North Carolina, and ultimately selecting them as our new partner in coordination with Chance Fry and myself.
Eurosport has invested many millions of dollars in process engineering, automation, software, and training to ensure accurate, timely fulfillment of orders.

In making this decision, five key criteria were of primary importance in the selection process:
- Price.
- Ease of order entry.
- Accuracy of order fulfillment.
- Timeliness of order fulfillment.
- Shipping.
On all dimensions, Eurosport came out as the clear leader. As a result, we will be fulfilling all orders for new uniforms through Eurosport starting next spring. We expect orders to be fulfilled completely within two weeks of entry with an error rate of 3% or less.

Stay tuned for more information in the next few weeks about the uniform program, our new uniform kit from adidas, and the Passback program that EFC will leverage to send our old kit to youth soccer communities around the world who need uniforms.
