CHUBBIES UNVEILS TEAM USA CAPSULE SERIES: A CELEBRATION OF AMERICA'S OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC LEGACY
The 2024 Three-Part Series Honors Past, Present, and Future Champions
AUSTIN, Texas, July 12, 2024 — Chubbies, the weekend-centric lifestyle apparel brand within the Solo Brands (NYSE: DTC) portfolio, is ecstatic to announce a monumental collaboration with Team USA. This summer begins a multi-year collaboration with Team USA beginning with the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 through the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. With a nod to the champions of yesteryear and an eye on the future stars of tomorrow, Chubbies invites fans to embark on a journey through time, style, and athletic prowess, unveiling a capsule series that celebrates the unparalleled greatness of America’s Olympians and Paralympians - past, present, and future.
The first of the three summer 2024 capsules launches on July 12th, 2024. The Team USA capsule kicks off with a vibrant assortment of performance polos, tees, tanks, and swim trunks. Each piece is meticulously designed to embody the spirit of the Team USA champions competing at Paris 2024. The first campaign is brought to life by Steele Johnson, Olympic silver medalist in diving, whose incredible legacy and dynamic energy perfectly capture the essence of the capsule. From the energetic hues to the bold designs, these garments reflect the athletes' vigor and the boundless enthusiasm of their fans.
As the capsule series unfolds, the second capsule transports us back to the golden era of the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The LA '84 Heritage Capsule featuring five-time Olympic medalist Greg Louganis, launching on July 22nd, 2024, is a tribute to the iconic moments that defined a generation. Lightweight button-up shirts, tees, and swim trunks adorned with vintage-inspired prints evoke a sense of nostalgia, celebrating the unity and extraordinary feats of athleticism that marked this historic event.
Looking towards the future with unbridled anticipation, the 2024 series will feature three drop capsules, culminating with the LA28 Capsule launching on August 11th, 2024. This final chapter is a celebration of what’s to come – new records, new heroes, and new memories yet to be made. Featuring vibrant tank tops and swim trunks, this segment embodies the dynamism and excitement of the upcoming Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, promising to inspire and captivate. Look forward to future Chubbies designs supporting Team USA for the upcoming additional games such as the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milan 2026 and the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as the brand continues to celebrate the spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
"We are beyond thrilled to launch the Team USA capsule series," said Rainer Castillo, Co-Founder and President of Chubbies. "Each part of these Team USA capsules is a heartfelt homage to the incredible achievements of our Olympians and Paralympians and the enduring spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. We can’t wait for our fans to don these unique pieces and join us in celebrating our athletic legacy."
