Affliction Clothing Teams up with PBR to Create LifeStyle Clothing Collection
Seal Beach, CA, February 24, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Affliction Clothing today announced a licensing agreement with Professional Bull Riders (PBR) to launch an all-new lifestyle collection inspired by “the toughest sport on dirt.” The collection, which just debuted in stores nationwide, will feature graphic treatments and iconic bull riders, capturing the essence of this fierce, rugged and growing sport.
Originating in America’s heartland, the PBR is now exciting audiences around the world. The PBR competes in the U.S., Australia, Brazil, Canada and New Mexico, and its television broadcasts reach nearly a half billion households in 130 territories. In addition, more than three million fans attend PBR events each year.
“We are very excited to announce this licensing deal with the PBR,” said Eric Foss, Owner and Design Director, Affliction Clothing. “PBR’s intense sports action and raw appeal is a great fit for Affliction’s live fast mantra. For more than a decade, Affliction has been dedicated to creating signature style garments for athletes, musicians, artists and others who embrace Affliction’s push it to the limits lifestyle philosophy. The extreme action and drama PBR delivers in eight-second intervals is perfectly in line with our core philosophy.”
“As PBR continues to enter the mainstream, this new line with Affliction is an important step in offering fans the highest quality licensed merchandise in department and specialty stores, an important retail channel for the sport,” said John Sohigian, VP, Consumer Products, PBR.
The Affliction/PBR collection will feature limited edition men’s shirts. Initial products from the collection are available now at The Buckle, Macy’s, Boot Barn, Drysdales and Dillards throughout the U.S., with line updates expected seasonally.
