Бренд Peter Millar назначил первым амбассадором в NFL полузащитника Кристиана Маккаффри

Peter Millar may be best known for sponsoring a number of high-profile professional golfers, including Sam Burns, Cameron Young and Justin Rose. But now the Raleigh, N.C.-based brand has moved beyond the links to the gridiron, signing its first NFL ambassador: Christian McCaffrey, the running back for the San Francisco 49ers. Off the field, McCaffrey has increasingly embraced the sport of golf as both a passion and a discipline, Peter Millar said, making him the ideal fit as the brand seeks to expand its reach. “Christian represents the kind of multidimensional excellence that defines Peter Millar today,” said Scott Mahoney, the brand’s chief executive officer. “As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we are focused on the future, expanding the way our brand lives across sport and culture. Christian’s dedication to his profession and his personal style make him an ideal addition to our family.” You May Also Like The athlete will be the face of the company’s new Pursuit collection of technical apparel and gear that releases on Aug. 20. “It’s an honor to join the Peter Millar family,” McCaffrey said. “I’ve always respected how the brand balances performance and style. The pieces feel as good as they look, and they fit into every part of my life — whether I’m heading to the course, traveling or just spending time off the field.” Jason Cater, chief creative officer of Peter Millar, said: “From the beginning, Peter Millar has approached performance with a sense of refinement. Christian brings that same mentality to everything he does. There’s a focus and intention to his style, simultaneously effortless but considered, that feels completely in step with the brand.” Last August, McCaffrey left Nike, his longtime sponsor, to join While on Earth, a performance apparel and footwear brand, as cofounder and investor.
