(TALLAHASSEE, Fla., November 6, 2025) — In its continued commitment to community-engagement and player-driven decision-making, Tallahassee’s first and only women’s semi-professional (semi-pro) soccer club, TLH Reckoning, announced today the launch of its third annual public voting contest to select the team’s official semi-pro jersey for the 2026 season. Voting opens November 6 and closes November 20, 2025.
This year’s contest features three respected design firms — Shapeshifter, Erik Eugene Design and BowStern Marketing Communications — each vying to have their concept chosen by fans. The winning firm will receive logo placement on the team’s pre-professional 2026 jersey, a sponsorship value of over $25,000, and the opportunity to submit the design into national awards competitions.
“Please let this continue to echo across the Capital to all of our community. TLH Reckoning isn’t just about soccer, it’s about opportunity, voice and shared ownership,” said Dr. Ashlee Fontes, Founder & CEO of TLH Reckoning. “Our players take part in designing their kits each year because this club exists for them to reach their dreams. Our community votes and owns the team because TLH Reckoning belongs to them.”
TLH Reckoning enters its 2026 campaign riding the momentum of a record-setting 2025 season, the most successful in club history. The team earned its first playoff berth, finished second in the nation for total goals scored, and celebrated individual excellence with multiple players ranking among the top goal scorers in the country. The season’s impact extended beyond the pitch, as three TLH Reckoning athletes signed professional contracts, exemplifying the club’s mission to create a player-centered pathway that elevates women in soccer from Tallahassee to the global stage.
