Las Vegas Lights Football Club (FC) is pairing with U.K.-based sportswear brand BLK to outfit the club, with a multi-year agreement in place.
The BLK-produced Lights FC home kits will be officially unveiled on Wednesday, Feb. 7, on the Zappos campus in Downtown Las Vegas, with a full team appearance and all players available for photo opportunities and autographs at the event.
The jerseys will be available for sale immediately at Zappos’ Z’boutique location, then shortly after online at Zappos.com. The Feb. 7 event will also mark the first opportunity for Lights FC founding season ticket members to pick up their free team jerseys.
Home jerseys will also be available for sale at all Lights FC home matches at Cashman Field, beginning Feb. 10 when the club hosts Major League Soccer’s Montreal Impact as part of Soccer Spring Training. Away kits will be unveiled prior to the club’s first road match – the March 17 United Soccer League (USL) regular season opener at Fresno FC.
BLK – ‘Beyond Limits Known’ – was formed in 2001, providing apparel and equipment to more than 10,000 teams, stretching from the professional to the grassroots levels. A global brand with its strongest foothold in the rugby world, BLK aims to use its partnership with Lights FC as an entry point into professional soccer in the United States.
“BLK prides itself as a brand that is innovative, forward-thinking and attitude-driven,” Lights FC Owner & CEO Brett Lashbrook said. “BLK’s ability to produce high quality, uniquely designed, professional quality jerseys is exactly what we were seeking in an apparel partner. Mark my words – the Lights FC jersey designed by Zappos will be memorable to all fans when it is unveiled on February 7th. With BLK as our partner, we will never be caught wearing a boring, ‘cookie-cutter’-looking jersey.”
“We are delighted to be working with Las Vegas Lights FC in their launch into the USL,”said Richard Upshall, Chairman of RU Active, the USA, Caribbean, UK, GCC and Middle East licensee for BLK. “We pride ourselves in offering a unique and bespoke teamwear range, using the latest fabric technology. My team and I are very excited to see this new kit on the pitch on February 10th, there is no kit like it, and as our first major kit provider deal for the USA, what better team could we start off with!”
The jerseys unveiled on Feb. 7 will be anchored by the Zappos branding, and also prominently feature the Lights FC crest, which consists of several design nods to the community the club will represent. Those include a shape inspired by the iconic Welcome to Las Vegas sign, the neon sign-inspired typeface, tubing and colors – blue, yellow and pink – incorporated from the City of Las Vegas’s official logo.
Single game tickets for Lights FC’s first four home matches – the three Soccer Spring Training MLS preseason contests and the March 24th United Soccer League (USL) regular season home opener against in-state rival Reno 1868 FC – are now on sale, starting at just $15. Single game tickets can be purchased by visiting LightsFC.com/SingleTix, or by calling 702.728.GOAL (4625) during regular business hours.
