Admiral to Sponsor Stars

Admiral was the first brand in the United Kingdom to grace the jerseys of sports teams. The company supplied the playing kit for major clubs in the U.K., the United States and Canada, including Manchester United, Leeds United, Los Angeles Aztecs, New York Cosmos, Tampa Bay Rowdies and Vancouver Whitecaps.

The Stars will unveil their new home kits at a party at Cantina #1 on the top floor of the Mall of America.
