HARRISBURG, Pa. – The Harrisburg City Islanders announced a new partnership with Capelli Sport on Monday as the innovative sportswear and team-wear brand become the exclusive uniform supplier of the USL club.

By the terms of the agreement, every member of the first-team, and the club's youth development academy, will be outfitted in Capelli Sport gear for the start of the 2017 season.

Capelli Sport was founded in 2011 by President George Altirs with the mission to provide quality, functionality and design for high-level performance on the field. More than 25 years in the apparel, fashion and accessory business with parent company GMA Accessories, led to the creation of Capelli Sport and many global recreational, club, semi-professional and professional sports partnerships through the brand's innovative, world-class training gear, equipment and uniforms.

Altirs recently purchased a majority share in the City Islanders, as the club enters a new era in the 2017 season.

"Having an owner who owns one of the fastest growing soccer supply companies in the U.S. adds great value to our club on the professional side and the youth side," said City Islanders President Eric Pettis. "George's product is of great quality and our players could not feel more proud sporting their Capelli Sport gear. We are fortunate to have this connection."

Entering its 14th season in the USL, the Harrisburg City Islanders join the Rochester Rhinos as USL clubs who compete under the Capelli Sport brand, with the Rhinos also having agreed a naming rights partnership that will see the club compete at Capelli Sport Stadium starting this year.

"This agreement marks what has already been a historic year for Capelli Sport," Altirs said. "Our design, functionality and support continue to grow on both the domestic and international levels. We look forward to bringing our standards to Harrisburg and assisting with the on-field production of the team."
