The Krafts are true entrepreneurs and as entrepreneurs ourselves we are inspired by the organization they’ve built,” said Ian Murray, Vineyard Vines CEO and co-founder. “This partnership is also a great complement to both our role as official style of the Boston Red Sox and within the NFL our licensed product collaborations with all teams.”
“As a proud New England brand, we couldn’t be happier to partner with the beloved team, furthering our involvement in Boston, a winning and vibrant city that we love,” added Shep Murray, Vineyard Vines CEO and co-founder. “We are thrilled to be able to work with a team in a deeper way and share our love of the sport through this partnership.”
