April 21, 2022 – National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) – Angel City FC News Release
LOS ANGELES – UNINTERRUPTED (UN), LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s Sports Emmy winning athlete empowerment brand, and Angel City Football Club (ACFC), Los Angeles’ newest professional soccer team, today announced the launch of a limited-edition apparel collection. The “UN x ACFC Write History” collection will be available for purchase Tuesday, April 26, on www.angelcity.com and The UNINTERRUPTED Store, and at the club’s first-ever home game at Banc of California Stadium on Friday, April 29.
In addition to the product collaboration, UNINTERRUPTED and ACFC worked together to produce a series of legacy videos that celebrate the former US Women’s National Team members who are now ACFC founding investors and highlight the importance of women entrepreneurship, inclusivity, leadership and legacy unfolding in this historic moment. The content featuring ACFC founding investors Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy and Angela Hucles Mangano, three of the most recognizable trailblazers in women’s soccer history, will tell the story of how each of these women continue to make history off the field and embody UNINTERRUPTED’s core “More Than an Athlete” spirit.

The art on the back of each piece is a quill pen with an angel wing as the feather, symbolizing the history that is being written with ACFC’s investment in women, community, and equity.
