Sacramento rockers Deftones have launched a charitable merch drop to benefit a youth soccer club from their own neighborhood. The band teamed up with Goal Projects to create apparel and gear that funnels sales back into a local Oak Park team called Los Jaguares, tying music, sport and community together.
Deftones and Goal Projects join forces for Oak Park youth
The band announced a collaboration with Goal Projects to raise funds for Los Jaguares. Proceeds from the collection will support the team directly, the band said, and back programs that help players off the field as well as on it. The initiative highlights the band’s connection to Oak Park, the Sacramento neighborhood where they formed more than three decades ago.

What the charity collection includes
- Two limited-run jerseys bearing Deftones branding.
- A Deftones-branded soccer ball — currently sold out online.
- Additional apparel and accessories tied to the campaign.
The band confirmed some items are being held back so kids can use them. The soccer ball will be added to the team’s official kits in the new year, ensuring the merchandise benefits players directly.
How purchases translate into impact for youth soccer
Orders fund equipment and keep participation affordable. By buying from the drop, fans help keep soccer free for local children and support after-school and community programs linked to the club. The effort aims to remove financial barriers and strengthen youth services in Oak Park.
How to buy and availability notes
- Items are available through the Goal Projects collaboration storefront.
- Stock is limited; some pieces have already sold out.
- Merch reserved for the team ensures the drop benefits players, too.
Fans who miss out should watch the store for restocks or additional drops tied to future events.
