OL Reign Announce MultiCare As The Team's New Top-Back Kit Partner

SEATTLE, WA —Days before this weekend's NWSL regular-season opener, Seattle's OL Reign women's soccer team announced that MultiCare, a Tacoma-based not-for-profit healthcare organization, would be its new top-back kit partner.

Some of OL Reign's players marked the occasion by posing in the team's home, away and goalkeeper shirts, which now feature the MultiCare logo above the player's name on the back of the shirt.

In addition to the MultiCare logo, OL Reign official shirts — which are available online and at Lumen Field — feature the Black Future Co-op Fund as the main shirt sponsor and Boeing as the bottom-back kit partner,

Though the name MultiCare is new to the shirt, the healthcare organization has worked closely with OL Reign in recent years on initiatives to promote well-being to OL Reign fans and surrounding communities.

In 2021, OL Reign and MultiCare teamed up to offer free COVID-19 vaccines at OL Reign matches, and OL Reign also honored MultiCare healthcare workers before a match.

"We are thrilled to expand our longstanding partnership with MultiCare and continue to work alongside them to build a healthy future for our players, coaches, fans and community," said OL Reign CEO Vincent Berthillot. "MultiCare prioritizes the needs of our communities to improve their overall quality of life, and that is a mission that OL Reign is proud to back."

The ongoing partnership between OL Reign and MultiCare is scheduled to include several additional community-centered events to promote health and well-being in Washington state, including: an OL Reign Breast Cancer Awareness match, and the production of a Behavioral Health video series designed to promote the importance of caring for mental health in sports and everyday life.

"MultiCare's mission calls on us to partner with other organizations that are committed to the communities we serve," said Bill Robertson, CEO of MultiCare. "OL Reign is invested in the health and wellness of the people of our state in ways that stretch beyond athletics, and we welcome this opportunity to continue to grow our partnership with the team."

OL Reign will open the NWSL regular season at 2 p.m. PT on Sunday against the Washington Spirit in Washington D.C. OL Reign's home opener at Lumen Field is set for 3 p.m. on May 8 against Racing Louisville FC.
