G-Form, a leader in athletic impact protection, welcomed Bill Hamid, of D.C. United in Major League Soccer and the U.S. Men’s National team, as the brand’s newest ambassador for soccer.
Hamid has been the first choice goalkeeper at D.C. United since 2010, when he broke Tim Howard’s record for the youngest goalkeeper to win a game in the MLS. Hamid continued to improve and earned Goalkeeper of the Year honors for the MLS in 2014 along with being a finalist in 2015. He is regularly called up to the U.S. Men’s National Team and has made two appearances for the senior team, keeping a clean sheet in his debut.
In January 2016, Hamid reported to the U.S. National Team despite an injury to his knee that occurred in training. His worst fears were realized when doctors discovered a tear in his meniscus. Hamid was out six months and missed the first 12 games of the 2016 MLS season. Upon return, Hamid was determined to explore injury prevention.
“Goalkeeper training is intense and involves a lot of repetition that takes a toll on your body” said Hamid. “The G-Form shorts, shirts and shin guards couldn’t be more ideal for me. I’m thrilled to be a part of the G-Form team and I’m proud to represent a brand I believe in.”
“We are very excited to have Bill Hamid join our growing list of professional athletes,” said Michael De Leon, VP global marketing, G-Form. “He is a tremendous athlete and the first goalkeeper to join our team. To have someone in his position, that takes impacts several times every single day, want to use our products is the best endorsement we could ever get. This is an ideal partnership and we are looking forward to seeing Bill accomplish everything he wants to in the game while wearing G-Form.”
