Everton Football Club have roped in US-based healthcare apparel and lifestyle brand FIGS as their Official Healthcare Apparel Partner.
The partnership will see FIGS supply technical clothing to the medical teams of both the Everton men’s and women’s senior teams. FIGS will also have branding presence at Goodison Park and Walton Hall Park, home grounds of the Liverpool-based club’s men’s and women’s teams, respectively.
The two parties will also work on various community activities, with FIGS supporting the club’s charity arm, Everton in the Community.
Mark Rollings, Everton Football Club’s Director of Partnerships, said:
“From our very first conversation with FIGS, it was clear they were a brand whose values mirrored our own. They are people-centric and put the healthcare professionals they cater for at the very heart of their products. The support they will offer through this partnership will directly benefit the medical staff who are responsible for preparing and rehabilitating our professional players across the Men’s and Women’s teams, and also those delivering the life-changing and life-saving work of Everton in the Community.
“It’s a truly innovative partnership – the first of its kind in the Premier League – and we are proud FIGS have chosen Everton to help tell the amazing story of their work and those of the incredible healthcare professionals they serve.“
Richard Kenyon, Everton Football Club’s Chief Commercial and Communications Officer, stated:
“We are really pleased to welcome FIGS as our Official Healthcare Apparel Partner and to continue growing our portfolio of global partners. I’d like to thank everyone in our partnerships team who have worked so diligently and enthusiastically to bring this together and FIGS for choosing Everton to support their growth plans.“
Michelle Gaster Wasserman, FIGS General Manager (International), commented:
“Partnering with Everton is a natural fit for FIGS. Our mission is to serve those who serve others, so we could not be more excited to support Everton’s medical staff as they support an elite sporting environment. This allows us to celebrate the incredible work of the many different kinds of global healthcare professionals we serve as we continue to grow internationally. Beyond football, Everton’s charitable focus closely aligns with FIGS’ impact-oriented mission, and we look forward to making an even bigger impact with Everton in the Community.“
