YDS Supports RAPTC on U.S. Football Tour
YDS recently had the pleasure of supporting the Royal Army Physical Training Corps (RAPTC) during their football tour to San Diego for OSV USA 2024.

To mark the occasion, YDS supplied the squad with custom kit bags — clearly labelled and designed to commemorate the tour — helping the team transport their gear in style and with pride.

As a trusted supplier of high-quality military footwear since the early 2000s, YDS is proud to continue backing the British Armed Forces, and especially the RAPTC football team, as they waved the Union Jack overseas on a successful and spirited tour.
