USA Field Hockey announced a premier partnership with glōProfessional. The multi-year agreement will feature glo on the front of the Women’s National Team jersey and represents the first ever corporate advertiser on the Women’s National Team uniform. "Everyone at glōProfessional feels honored to be a part of the achievements of these world-class athletes," says Sean Butler, president of glōProfessional. "We're passionate about helping athletes perform their best when they're competing and we take great pride in their belief and trust in the benefits of our products. The field hockey team shows the power and grace that comes from feeling confident in your appearance, making them a natural fit for the glō brand. We are proud to work with these amazing women competing in the London 2012 Olympic Games." As the official uniform sponsor, the glō brand will receive placement on the front of the Women’s National Team jersey and podium suits. In addition, the glō brand will have prominent placement across all National USA Field Hockey events and media.
glōProfessional will also partner with USA Field Hockey on the Sun Safe Play initiative, an educational program designed to raise awareness on the importance of playing and practicing safely in the sun and the prevention of melanoma and skin cancer. “Damaging UV rays can pass through clouds, haze and even windows so it is important to wear sun protection when you are inside as well as outside," says Lisa Bookman, director of marketing for glōProfessional. "Sun protection should be a part of your everyday personal care routine including your skincare, make-up and even hair are. All of glōProfessional’s product lines provide UV protection in their formulations, for healthy and proper sun protection."
The U.S. Women’s National Team will reveal its new uniforms on May 19, in the first match of a four game series against Canada in Vancouver, British Columbia.
