The Kansas City Current and MADE MOBB, a local streetwear brand, officially launched the first collaborative merchandise between the two organizations. The new shirts were designed with input from Current players Chardonnay Curran and Hailie Mace.
The collaboration is being launched in celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. MADE MOBB is an AAPI-owned local business, and Chardonnay Curran is Asian American and Pacific Islander.
“It was really cool to work with everyone at MADE MOBB to design this collaboration,” said midfielder Chardonnay Curran. “I love when we get to work with local businesses, but it’s even better when we get to support minority-owned companies, especially around Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. This collaboration is even more special to me as an Asian American and Pacific Islander because I get to connect with people who share my heritage, even though I am far away from home right now. I hope the fans love our new shirts.”
"Working with Hailie, Char and the KC Current crew to design the merch was really dope,” said Vu Nguyen, co-owner of MADE MOBB. “The players came to the shop, brainstormed with us and provided their input during the design process. That's what makes this collab so special. We wanted to create something that the players and the fans would love wearing, so having the players involved in the process made perfect sense. As an AAPI brand and small business, it was really dope seeing the KC Current not only shine a spotlight on us but also support other AAPI businesses in Kansas City like Vietnam Cafe and Cafe Cà Phê. We're thankful for the opportunity and excited to continue working with the Current as they make big moves in the city. This is just the first wave of the collaboration, so stay tuned to see what we've got cooking next!"
Fans can check out the new collaboration online or pick up their shirt at the Current’s next match on Friday, May 26 against the Houston Dash. Season tickets, flex plans and single match tickets are available for all home matches at Children’s Mercy Park. For pricing and information, visit kansascitycurrent.com.
