With only 10 weeks until the biennial Solheim Cup matches in Dublin, Ireland this year, the Antigua design team is busy wrapping up final details for the U.S. team’s uniforms.
“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.
