Original Penguin by Munsingwear, a division of Perry Ellis International, signed former Wimbledon doubles champion Vasek Pospisil as a tennis brand ambassador.
“We are thrilled to have Vasek Pospisil join the Original Penguin team as a tennis brand ambassador,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO, Perry Ellis International. “With seven career titles, a Wimbledon championship and as a member of the Canadian Olympic team, Vasek has proven to be a dynamic international competitor. We are confident he will represent the Original Penguin men’s tennis collection with a winning style and look forward to watching him perform on the biggest stages.”
As part of the contract, Pospisil will wear Original Penguin’s Spring 2022 men’s tennis collection—a fusion of retro heritage style in crisp tennis whites with a modern twist in classic silhouettes. Fabrics include recycled yarns with elastane blends, including Repreve and 4-way stretch, lightweight blends and moisture-wicking UPF sun protection. Details include mesh for ventilation, piping, logo detailing, and pockets.
“I am proud to partner with such an incredible heritage brand like Original Penguin, “ stated Pospisil. “Original Penguin’s tennis collection provides functional style, cutting edge designs and comfort, and I look forward to showcasing the Penguin on and off the court in 2022.”
