Published on October 13, 2009 under United Football League (UFL 1) News Release


The United Football League announced today that Men's Wearhouse will be one of the League's "Premiere" Season Foundation Partners and the Official Men's Clothing Sponsor of the UFL. "The UFL aims to create the best experience for both the fans and the players. It is only fitting that we partner with a company that shares our values," said Frank Vuono, COO of the UFL. "Men's Wearhouse stands behind quality products with a dedicated focus on first class service and customer experiences. We are excited to promote their stores and brand though our unique and innovative sponsorship opportunities."

"At Men's Wearhouse we're excited to partner with and sponsor the UFL's 'Premiere' season. Bill Walsh felt there were more quality football players than roster spots or teams," said George Zimmer, Founder & CEO of Men's Wearhouse. "We're betting he was right."

At Thursday night's debut, Men's Wearhouse logo was prominently displayed on the front bumper of the California Redwoods helmet. During the UFL broadcast on VERSUS, Dave Sims, Doug Flutie and Kordell Stewart were outfitted in Men's Wearhouse attire. The Men's Wearhouse logo was also featured on the Broadcast booth backdrop. The Men's Wearhouse logo was also shown on the goal post cushions and included on ANC's on-field LED rotating signage with one LED "moments of exclusivity" per national telecast.

Men's Wearhouse is the third Foundation Partner the UFL has announced. Motorola joins previously announced Foundation Partners, Stub Hub- the preferred resale destination for fans and Motorola-the League's exclusive communication device provider.

The UFL's second week of action continues on Wednesday evening as the Las Vegas Locomotives go for their second win, hosting the unbeaten Florida Tuskers at Sam Boyd Stadium.
