Antigua Providing U.S. Solheim Cup Uniforms

From the Arizona Golf Authority AZGA Golf News Desk

The Solheim Cup matches at Kileen Castle in Dublin, Ireland begin September 23rd and the Antigua design team is busy making sure the U.S. team’s uniforms are just right.

“Designing uniforms for multiple days and multiple rounds of competition with Ireland’s unique weather as an added variable has been a tremendous challenge”, said Danielle Dellios, Senior Designer at the Antigua Group.

“We have created a beautiful range of coordinates, distinctly separate for each round, including the early practice rounds. Each are reflective of the traditional palette of the U.S. in very tasteful golf fashion styling with contemporary accents and each piece has incorporated our trademark performance functionality. We are excited to present the uniforms to the members of the United States team and we look forward to our team bringing back the Solheim Cup.”

The U.S. team uniforms (shirts, sweaters, jackets and bottoms) will be available for purchase from selected golf shops and golf retailers starting September 26th and will be available at the event itself through the official Solheim Cup retail partners.
