CHICAGO – The U.S. Women’s National Team announced collaborations with five unique brands to create limited edition apparel and accessories to celebrate the team’s participation in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™. The collaborations, which were designed by a majority of women-owned and women-led brands, will intersect the worlds of fashion and sport through a unifying theme of support for the USWNT in the lead-up to its opening match of the tournament.

The collaborations will become available beginning today with global sportswear brand UNDEFEATED, while additional products from Samii Ryan, Mejuri, Stoney Clover Lane and RE—INC, which is owned and operated by FIFA Women’s World CupTM champions Tobin Heath, Christen Press, Megan Rapinoe, and Meghan Klingenberg, will launch each day during the rest of the week. The brands have combined their own unique elements with the USWNT crest and branded elements to create a special set of statement pieces in support of the team as it seeks to win an unprecedented third consecutive world championship and its fifth overall in Australia and New Zealand.

“We’re very proud to collaborate with these five brands to provide our fans with an additional way to express their support for the USWNT as the team takes the world’s biggest stage,” said Maribeth Towers, U.S. Soccer’s Vice President of Consumer Products. “Each brand brings a different element to the table, providing fans with an array of ways to bridge their love for the team with pieces from some of their favorite brands. The fact that most are women-owned businesses adds an element of empowerment and inspiration which our team also represents.”

Creating further impact and expanding campaign awareness, RE—INC and Samii Ryan were selected to be part of She’s Next in Fashion, Empowered by Visa. Established in 2022, the program provides women-owned small businesses and entrepreneurs in the fashion and beauty space with funding through grants, tools and resources needed to run and grow their business to thrive. She’s Next in Fashion builds on Visa’s ongoing commitment to address challenges women face by creating a more inclusive and connected digital economy through unique, impactful opportunities.

“Supporting women will always be in vogue. We are excited to team up with U.S. Soccer to shine a light and provide additional resources to these inspiring women-owned fashion brands so they can achieve their own goals,” said Mary Ann Reilly, Chief Marketing Officer of North America, Visa.

This collaboration with the U.S. Soccer Federation is a full-circle moment and I couldn’t be more excited.” — Samii Ryan, Founder & CEO

Watching all of these fans supporting their favorite teams and players was incredible. Now coming full circle, we are honored here at Stoney Clover Lane to be one of the partners this year.” – Kendall Glazer, Stoney Clover Lane Founder
