2024-2025 is the first year of a two-year Magic/Mystx Elite uniform cycle. All players will need to purchase a new game uniform.

NEW AND RETURNING ELITE players approximate game and training uniform cost including training jacket: $300-$350 +tax and shipping

RETURNING ELITE Players-  Game uniforms and training uniforms have not changed. Players need only to purchase replacement pieces if they are worn out or outgrown.  

All Travel players are required to wear cleats that are 80% black in color. We believe cleats are part of the player's uniform and should look the same and professional.
