RICHMOND, VA - (Monday, April 1, 2012) - The Richmond Kickers and Health Diagnostic Laboratory, Inc. today jointly announced a renewed multi-year partnership that will feature the advanced cardiovascular testing laboratory and health management company as the front-of-jersey sponsor for both the Kickers professional team and Kickers youth travel club. The newly designed adidas uniforms will be unveiled at the Kickers' regular season home opener on Saturday, April 6.

"Our mission at Health Diagnostic Laboratory is focused on making people healthy by understanding hidden disease risk factors, living an active lifestyle, and working closely with their physician on personal health goals. A large part of that equation relates to being active and engaged in the community as well. The Richmond Kickers embody the perfect example of being healthy, active, and involved," said Tonya Mallory, HDL, Inc.'s President, CEO and Co-founder. "We are proud to call the Kickers our partner and look forward to getting out to their games this year."

With that shared mission of improving health in the community, the Kickers and HDL, Inc. will continue to collaborate to enhance the partnership across all levels of the Kickers' nationally renowned Club Model. In addition to sponsorship rights to the Kickers pro jerseys, HDL, Inc. will be featured on adidas replica jerseys worn by Richmond Kickers youth travel players starting in the fall of 2013.

"We are tremendously excited to announce the continuation of our partnership with our friends at Health Diagnostic Laboratory," said Hunter Leemon, Richmond Kickers Director of Sales. "Incorporating HDL onto our youth travel kits really takes this partnership to the next level. Not only does it demonstrate the impact that HDL has throughout our club, it also unifies our look from the professional team through the travel program."

The Kickers pro team's primary kit showcases the club's signature red jersey, shorts and socks. The sleek and lightweight top-of-the-line adidas Condivo 12 jersey features subtle, white accents and traditional adidas three-striping. White piping at the neckline and shoulders give the jersey further definition while the state-of-the-art ClimaLite(r) moisture control provides cool on-field comfort. The red, adidas Condivo 12 short, constructed for motion, speed and comfort, paired with the red, adidas NCAA ForMotion Elite Sock complete the on-field look. New in 2013, the Kickers will unveil a new all-black away kit, with Kickers modern, red accents.
