Futsal Club Toronto are delighted to launched their new kit for the 2012/2013 Canadian Premier Futsal League season in Toronto, Ontario. The new kit will be inaugurated on January 06, 2013 when the Canadian Premier Futsal League kicks of the futsal season in a league match; which is yet to be determined.

Club owners and former team mates Lorenzo Redwood and Roy Blanche decided to revive the former FCT club colors, a deep red & blue which they were well know for in the past. The model was chosen based on the collaboration of the duo, Givova representative Ron Davidson and the opinions of supporters and club members.

Roy Blanche comments: "After hours of debate we were able to decide on a kit that is very stylish and one which best represents the club and likes of team members and supporters. We wanted to incorporate the colors formerly used in 2010, while the stripes across the chest remind of us of how proud Lorenzo and myself are of the future of this club and represents our hard work, determination and passion for futsal."

“The confirmation of the fixtures galvanizes everyone's thoughts towards the new season and the planning and preparation has already begun. We are looking forward to our opening game and expect it to be a challenging start.There's a lot of hard work to be done between now and then in order to ensure we are ready for the season ahead, but we are certainly looking forward to seeing what we can achieve with the new squad. We are looking at incorporating some U16 players from the club as well as some familiar faces and some exciting international talent. Futsal is definitely a priority for clubs and parents looking to strengthen their technique and ability; and this strengthens the competition across the board.
