PING has unveiled the official uniforms to be worn by Team Europe at the next month’s Solheim Cup in Spain, which are also available to purchase exclusively online at www.pingeurope.com from today (Aug 24).
Following on from 2021, the European Solheim Cup team will once again be dressed head-to-toe in performance PING apparel and fans now have an exclusive opportunity to purchase replica team kit, to show their support for the reigning tournament winners either at home or for those attending the event in Spain.
The first day’s official uniform at Finca Cortesin pays tribute to the host nation, with several products featuring a ‘Euro Stripe’ print made from a combination of red and yellow from the Spanish flag, and European blue. The polo, mid-layer and vest also feature a Team Europe shield of stars logo, further paying tribute to the home side.
Day two’s design features a knitted tape detail for a sporty aesthetic, with a nod to traditional Spanish and European colours. The white vest sees the addition of a subtle Spanish coloured stripe to the back of the neck, as well as the team Europe Shield of Stars print to the back.
To finish the week, the European flag takes centre stage with the design influence for the final day of competition. Traditional European stars feature elegantly along the front and back of the polo, with the skort sporting a star stripe detail to the side. To complete the final day look, the team will have a choice of headwear, including a bucket hat that features an all-over yellow star print providing an impactful look.
Commenting on the designs, PING Global Creative Director Fiona Reilly said: “It has been a privilege designing Team Europe’s apparel collection for the 2023 Solheim Cup. Our goal was to provide Team Europe with unique, clean and contemporary designs that pay tribute to the host nation of the tournament.
“Comfort and freedom of movement is of paramount importance for the athletes and, to ensure this, all of the garments are engineered from our performance Sensor technology fabrics, to ensure the team is well equipped throughout the week.
“We’re also pleased to be able to offer supporters the chance to proudly wear the colours of Europe, both from their local golf course or from the host venue, Finca Cortesin, during the event itself.”
The official team uniform is now available online at www.pingeurope.com/solheim-cup.html and at Finca Cortesin during the week of the matches.
