Perry Ellis and Original Penguin expanded their official partnership with the University of Miami Athletics through new fan-focused initiatives at various events throughout the year, including football, basketball and baseball games, tennis matches and more.
“We’re incredibly excited to continue our support of the University of Miami Athletics through new collaborations that will bring us closer to the greater campus community,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International. “As a longtime Hurricane partner, I’m pleased to align our brands with the resilience and determination of the University of Miami’s student-athletes.”
The partnership will include a student-athlete brand ambassador program from various Hurricane athletic teams and a Community Suits program to outfit students with professional attire for success on and off campus.
During the football season, Perry Ellis and Original Penguin will introduce a pickleball court outside Hard Rock Stadium at pre-game tailgates.
“We’re thrilled to continue this relationship with the Perry Ellis family,” said Chris Maragno, senior vice president of global partnership for Miami Hurricanes. “With the help of Perry Ellis and Original Penguin, we’re looking forward to the continued development of our program for our student-athletes and the elevation of fan experiences that will continue to make the Miami Hurricanes’ fan experience unforgettable. We look forward to an exciting 2024/25 athletic season.”
