The US National Team program is partnering with Breakmark, an athletic apparel company, for the 2023 IQA World Cup season.
Breakmark will provide the US National Team (USNT) and US National Team Developmental Academy (USNTDA) with new uniforms and practice apparel. The apparel company is also hosting the program’s Support a Player shop and online store at Breakmark.com.
Breakmark was started in 2005 and has been focused predominantly on producing apparel for the ultimate community, including the Western Ultimate League and three franchises in the Premier Ultimate League.
“We are looking to show the athletic world what we can do, and quadball seems like a natural progression. There is a lot of carryover from what we have done in the ultimate world for the past 15+ years, and we think we can build on that success with quadball teams,” said Mathew Goldblatt, owner of Breakmark.
The USNT is headed to the IQA World Cup in Richmond, Va. on July 15-16 in the hopes of defending their gold medal status. The team is currently the winningest national team in IQA history.
“The theme for this season is ‘Stay Golden’ and we’re excited to introduce a pair of kits and a warmup that reflect this while also incorporating some more traditional American symbolism and uniform trends,” said USNT Manager Amanda Dallas.
The Support a Player program is now live and will close June 5. The purpose of this program is to help USNT and USNTDA athletes cover costs associated with the IQA World Cup, including but not limited to hotel and transportation. Each athlete will have five replica warmups available for purchase and $100 from each sale will be donated directly to that athlete or their indicated recipient. These replicas will only be available for purchase via the Support a Player program.
The USNT store will launch Friday, June 2. Order by Wednesday, June 7 to receive your merchandise in time for the IQA World Cup. If you would like to support the athletes in other ways, you can donate to the USNT and USNTDA via their donation cart.
Don’t forget to grab your tickets to root for the home team in Richmond, Va. July 15-16. They are available for purchase here and at the gate.
