Regarding the specifications of the uniforms for the official matches of the 2023 season, it has been discovered that the position of the "You'll Never Walk Alone" rubber print on the back is in violation of Article 4, Section 5 of the Football Rules and Article 12, Section 2 of the Uniform Regulations.
As a result of discussions with various parties, we have decided to change the position and material of the message print on the official match uniforms worn by players, and place it on the back of the shirt front.
In addition, for uniforms other than those worn by players in official matches (exhibition and sales authentic uniforms), the specifications will remain unchanged and will be placed on the back.

The message "You'll Never Walk Alone", which FC Tokyo has cherished with all of its fans and supporters, has been continuously placed inside the uniform since the middle of the 2020 season. We apologize for the last-minute change, but our players will continue to fight with this message in their hearts, unchanged even in the 2023 season. We ask for your continued passionate support.
