January 17, 2024 – United Soccer League Championship (USL) – Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC News Release
PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC is entering a new partnership with international soccer brand CHARLY USA, who will be the official soccer apparel provider of the Hounds beginning with the 2024 USL Championship season.
The deal coincides with the upcoming 25th anniversary season of the Riverhounds, and CHARLY will be the pro team’s exclusive kit manufacturer, in addition to creating an exciting new line of Hounds clothing and activewear. The partnership also extends to the Riverhounds Academy beginning with the 2024-25 competitive year.
“Our new multi-year partnership with CHARLY symbolizes a combination of tradition and innovation, mirroring the spirit of the Riverhounds, our passionate fanbase, and the vibrant city of Pittsburgh,” Riverhounds President Jeff Garner said. “Anticipation is already building as we look forward to unveiling not just our new, custom kits, but also a full line of high-quality, fashionable apparel.”
CHARLY, headquartered in León, Mexico, is the official apparel partner of Mexico’s Liga MX and the kit provider for six Liga MX clubs, including León, Pachuca, Atlas and Santos Laguna. In the U.S., the brand outfitted USL Championship side San Diego Loyal and recently partnered with the Oakland Roots. The Riverhounds are now the first American professional club outside of California to be outfitted by the rapidly growing brand.
“Pittsburgh fans are some of the best in all of sports, and we are thrilled to be the brand they can associate with for the long term. This city deserves another championship, and we’re thrilled the Riverhounds are committed to making that happen with CHARLY,” CHARLY USA Managing Director Jason Wells said. “The CHARLY kits won’t just be for Hounds fans, but for all Pittsburghers to enjoy and support their city.”
With the new partnership, the Riverhounds will unveil new home and away kits for the upcoming season. The first opportunity to see and purchase the new jerseys will be at a special kit reveal event at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 21, at the Senator John Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh’s Strip District. Further details about the unveiling event will be announced in the coming weeks.
