The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) has announced that Zoot Sports will be the Official Team USA Outfitter for the 2021 Collins Cup.
The Collins Cup is the PTO’s flagship event and a new race format modelled after the Ryder Cup, which will see teams of European, International and USA athletes pitted against one another.
The latest apparel sponsorship deal with Zoot follows on from HUUB being recently unveiled as Official Team Europe Outfitter for the 2021 Collins Cup. This leaves one final apparel outfitter deal to be announced for Team International at the event this August.
California based, Zoot Sports will design the official uniforms to be worn by Team USA at the inaugural Collins Cup on 28th August at the x-bionic sphere sports resort in Šamorín, near Bratislava, Slovakia.
Founded in 1983 in Kona, Hawaii, Zoot Sports began making performance apparel that catered to elite athletes competing in the, then, emerging sport of triathlon. In 1996, Zoot moved to California and has since grown to be a global premier endurance sports brand, distributed worldwide. Team USA #8 athlete Ben Hoffman is amongst Zoot Sports’ roster of professional triathletes.
Zoot Sports President, Shawn O’Shea, said “We have been making performance apparel, wetsuits, footwear and accessories for over 35 years and continue to draw on our history in the sport and our athletes to deliver the most comprehensive, technologically-advanced, and complete multisport product line in the world.
“We are very excited about the inaugural Collins Cup which looks set to be the first of its kind and an innovative word class event like no other. We are proud to be the official outfitter and are backing Team USA to show who rules triathlon.”
Sam Renouf, Chief Executive Officer of the PTO, said “Zoot Sports have been kitting out triathletes since the early days of triathlon so it seems fitting that they should be the official outfitter for Team USA in The Collins Cup. We look forward to leveraging the excitement, rivalry and drama of team battles while showcasing the personalities of our amazing PTO athletes to a global audience.”
