The partnership between Everton and FIGS extends both on and off
the pitch. FIGS will supply technical apparel specifically designed
for the medical teams of the Blues’ men’s and women’s senior
squads. FIGS branding also will be present at Everton’s Goodison
Park matches, as it was during the Club’s match against Arsenal
earlier this month. In addition, the men’s senior team medical
staff started wearing custom FIGS apparel at Everton’s most recent
two Premier League fixtures.
Off the pitch, FIGS will work with Everton’s charity, Everton in
the Community, to support its important efforts, which include
providing healthcare within the community. More information about
FIGS’ work with Everton in the Community will be announced later
this year.
Michelle Gaster Wasserman, FIGS’ General Manager, International,
said, “Partnering with Everton is a natural fit for FIGS. Our
mission is to serve those who serve others, so we could not be more
excited to support Everton’s medical staff as they support an elite
sporting environment. This allows us to celebrate the incredible
work of the many different kinds of global healthcare professionals
we serve as we continue to grow internationally. Beyond football,
Everton’s charitable focus closely aligns with FIGS’
impact-oriented mission, and we look forward to making an even
bigger impact with Everton in the Community.”
Mark Rollings, Everton’s Director of Partnerships, said, “From
our very first conversation with FIGS, it was clear they were a
brand whose values mirrored our own. They are people-centric and
put the healthcare professionals they cater for at the very heart
of their products. The support they will offer through this
partnership will directly benefit the medical staff who are
responsible for preparing and rehabilitating our professional
players across the men’s and women’s teams, and also those
delivering the life-changing and life-saving work of Everton in the
Community. It’s a truly innovative partnership – the first of its
kind in the Premier League – and we are proud FIGS have chosen
Everton to help tell the amazing story of their work and those of
the incredible healthcare professionals they serve.”
Richard Kenyon, Everton’s Chief Commercial and Communications
Officer, said, “We are really pleased to welcome FIGS as our
Official Healthcare Apparel Partner and to continue growing our
portfolio of global partners. I’d like to thank everyone in our
partnerships team who have worked so diligently and
enthusiastically to bring this together and FIGS for choosing
Everton to support their growth plans.”
