Boston City FC has added soccer retailer We Got Soccer to its growing list of supporters for the 2016 season and the partnership has produced the new National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) club’s historic first playing kit.
We Got Soccer will be the exclusive apparel supplier of team gear and major accessories for the next two years. The club will wear Nike uniforms and travel and training gear as well as accessories such as tees and hats, which will also be available for fans to purchase. We Got Soccer will be featured at all home matches, have signage and social media positions with Boston City FC and will partner on several community initiatives.
The new playing kits will feature the red, white and blue colors that are prominent within the club’s logo. Classic navy blue home shirts will be paired with striking red away shirts and a third change kit of white. The club badge and unmistakable Nike logo will feature on the shirtfront, while the left sleeve will carry the NPSL logo.
“It was a complete revelation to me when I was brought to the meetings with Michael O’Connor at his retail outlet in Foxborough,” said Boston City FC CEO Renato Valentim. “The store is amazing, the warehouse immense and quality product selection unlike any other I have seen in the soccer industry. Their customer service record is exemplary and being local is fantastic as they can react quickly to not only the needs of our team, but the needs of our fans.”
Michael O’Connor, Owner of We Got Soccer said: “During our very first meeting with the ownership group of Boston City FC I was immediately struck by the seriousness they are going about building a soccer franchise. Having a team operating within the immediacy of Boston has been on the wish list of many soccer fans over such a long time and Renato and his group are strategically poised to build a tremendous club given their relationships in the community. It makes perfect sense for We Got Soccer to be part of that.”
Boston City FC kicks off the 2016 NPSL season at 6 pm on Sunday, May 1, at the club’s Brother Gilbert Stadium home at Malden Catholic High School and will establish an immediate Boston-New York rivalry, as reigning champion NY Cosmos B are the visitors. Season tickets to watch Greater Boston’s only professional soccer club in action are available online at www.BostonCityFC.com and include a free inaugural season scarf.
