'47 BRAND BRINGS CLASSIC SPORTS MOMENTS

TO LIFE WITH NEW HIRE

Leading Sports Lifestyle Brand's First-Ever Product Historian to
Rejuvenate Sports History through Innovative Collections

Boston, Massachusetts (November 20, 2013) - '47 Brand, a privately-held sports lifestyle brand based in Boston, has named Jared Wheeler the brand's first-ever Sports Historian. The new position is an integral member of '47 Brand's rapidly-growing team, created to spearhead the research and conceptualization of various programs based on an assortment of classic events in sporting history. In his role, Wheeler will work closely with '47 Brand's creative department in uncovering the greatest sporting events, series, and franchises, resulting in some of the brand's most distinctive headwear and apparel collections to date. From traveling to various parts of the country for extensive research, to obtaining authentic accounts from key individuals, Wheeler plans to stay true not only to its past era, but to '47 Brand's dedication to sporting authenticity.

"I grew up playing baseball, writing about sports, and studying history, which makes this role that much more incredible," said Wheeler. "Working for '47 Brand, a company that shares the same passion for sports and fascination with history, is equally motivating and exciting. I look forward to telling the D'Angelos' story through extraordinary headwear and apparel collections unique only to the brand."

Since joining '47 Brand, Wheeler has already taken the lead on several projects, having recently led extensive research efforts behind the brand's upcoming Baseball United program, an innovative look at baseball history during the first half of the 20th century. The program resulted in a limited-edition headwear and apparel line that recognizes the 100th anniversary of World War I and the 75th anniversary of World War II, set to be featured within the spring 2014 collection.

"At '47 Brand, we are a family-owned and operated company that is driven by an endless passion and love for sports, hard work and family values," said Steven D'Angelo, co-owner of '47 Brand. "Each employee shares this enthusiasm, which is found in every stitch of each product we bring to market. Having Jared join our team was a natural fit and we're excited to have him help revolutionize the brand by delivering game-changing strategic programs for the business, while educating consumers on '47 Brand's evolution and continued growth."

Wheeler joins '47 Brand following his tenure at Mitchell & Ness, where he oversaw historical research and product development of authentic jerseys. During his time at the company, Wheeler was invited to curate "Play Ball," a special exhibit at Philadelphia's Betsy Ross House that traced the city's inherent history of baseball. Wheeler also spent several years as a sports writer, freelancing for various sports journals and publications including Sports Illustrated, while simultaneously acting as book review editor for Black Ball, a semi-annual journal written by an editorial board of leading historians.

Operation Hat Trick was first developed by the University of New Hampshire to memorialize Nate Hardy and Mike Koch, two fallen U.S. Navy SEALs. The program was originally focused on providing collegiate caps to soldiers in VA Medical Centers who had suffered head injuries.

“The primary objective for Operation Hat Trick is to build support and funds for our soldiers and veterans seeking medical treatment in VA medical centers,” said Dot Sheehan, the founder and director of Operation Hat Trick, and the licensing director at the University of New Hampshire. “We are excited about the participation of so many institutions in the national launch of this program and believe that college fans at these participating institutions will support of our veterans by purchasing Operation Hat Trick co-branded caps.”

CLC serves as the official licensing agent for the University of New Hampshire and manages the Operation Hat Trick licensing program.  

“We are honored to be involved in Operation Hat Trick and are motivated by the program’s emphasis on supporting American military veterans,” said Brian White, Vice President of Partner Services for CLC. “The willingness of universities to leverage their powerful brands to support our veterans is inspiring. This has been a labor of love for our entire team.”  

The University of Cincinnati is one of dozens of collegiate institutions participating in the Operation Hat Trick program.

“Our institution has a tradition of support for the military,” said Marty Ludwig, Licensing Director, University of Cincinnati. “We are very proud to support our veterans by participating in Operation Hat Trick.”

Officially licensed Operation Hat Trick caps, which are branded with the logos of participating schools, are produced by ’47 Brand, a Massachusetts-based manufacturer of premium quality headwear and apparel for more than 600 collegiate institutions and several professional leagues. The initial product offering will feature three styles including an adjustable camouflage cap, a school color cap, and a stretch fit style cap also in school colors.

Operation Hat Trick caps are available for purchase at campus bookstores and fan shops of the participating institutions.

For more information on the program, please visit the Operation Hat Trick Facebook page.
