If you have walked inside the Mariners Team Store at any point in the last 18 years you are familiar with the work of Julie McGillivray. If you have purchased women’s apparel at any point in the last 18 years, you are a grateful fan of her work without even realizing it.
When McGillivray began working for the team in 2000, the women’s apparel section could be described as minimal, if we’re being charitable. She immediately knew she wanted to expand that area. Noticing how well a pink kids’ jersey sold in larger sizes, indicating women were buying them, she contacted Nike about producing a pink Mariners hat.
