    Uniform Front Uniform Back

    Short explanation:
    The red, black, and white colors come from the national colors of the Zartanian people and from the Eastern Zartanian flag. On the right front chest of the uniform is the coat-of-arms of the Kingdom outlined in white. The jersey number appears small on the bottom left front corner, and larger in the center of the back. On the right front leg of the shorts is a gold crown overlaid by a sword: the Royal Seal, as the King personally finances the team.
