Antigua Group launches first tennis apparel line
The Antigua Group, known for its golf apparel and casual
wear, has entered the tennis market with its debut collection of men's and
women's performance apparel. Designed with an emphasis on contemporary styling
and high-tech performance, the lines feature Antigua's Desert Dry and Desert
Dry Xtra Lite technical fabrics. The autumn line will be available prior to
this year's U.S. Open.
"Tennis has experienced a rebirth over the past
decade; it's one of the few sports that's seen its participation numbers
increase, so we're happy to enter the market during this upward trend,"
said Ron McPherson, president and CEO of Antigua Group.
"Our tennis apparel will appeal to all players, from
the fashion conscious to weekend warriors looking for an edge. And, as we do in
golf, our tennis line will have the added benefit of our custom embroidery
skill set and in-stock inventory business model."
Sean Gregg, director of product development, said:
"D2XL is tailor-made for tennis because of its ability to help rapidly
wick away moisture.
"It's also extremely light, which gives tennis
players a more flexible feel and allows heat to dissipate more quickly."
