The Chicago Red Stars announced today that Meijer will be the club’s front-of-shirt sponsor for the upcoming NWSL Challenge Cup in Utah. Meijer will appear on both the blue “Elevated Kit” and the new, white “Neighborhood Kit.”
It’s a massive get for the club, which had been struggling with little revenue coming in during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Meijer has been working tirelessly serving the community as an essential business, and now they are taking a stand in supporting the future of women’s professional sports. We thank them and are proud to wear their brand,” club owner Arnim Whisler said in the news release announcing the deal.
