The Chicago Fire Soccer Club and Motorola have confirmed a three-year partnership which sees the Chicago-based mobile communications company become the official jersey partner of the club.
As part of the partnership, Motorola will be prominently featured on the front of the Chicago Fire’s match jerseys and training apparel.
Both the home and away jerseys were unveiled by former World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger, U.S. Men’s National Team player and Fire team captain Dax McCarty and 2017 MLS Golden Boot Winner Nemanja Nikolić. Supporters will be able to purchase the jerseys from March 1.
Chicago Fire Soccer Club Chief Operating Officer John Urban commented:“We’re extremely excited to announce our new jersey partnership with Motorola. Motorola is a globally recognised brand that, similar to our Club, is proud of its Chicago roots. We look forward to introducing the Motorola brand to the diverse audience that exists within MLS and the sport of soccer.”
