Santa Clara Sporting Club is an American soccer club based in the Santa Clara area of California, founded by members of the local Luso-American community. The green and white hoops are a direct nod to that heritage, echoing the colours of Sporting Clube de Portugal — a natural point of reference for emigrants from the Azores. This collection holds one shirt from the 2016 season, a modest but telling record of a club that carries its island roots into a very different football landscape.
