EGU Teams Up With Adidas

Adidas and the English Golf Union have signed a three-year agreement for all international England teams to wear adidas Golf clothing.

The official uniform - which has the cross of St George as well as the EGU's red rose logo - was unveiled last month when England beat Spain at El Prat in Barcelona.

Under the agreement, adidas will supply shirts, trousers, sweaters,
waterproofs, hats and other clothing as well as the Z Traxion shoe which is
worn by more than 30 players on the European Tour including former leading
amateurs Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose.

"We are delighted to be supporting the English Golf Union and its
representative teams with footwear and apparel for the next three years,"
said Robin Gibson, European marketing manager of TaylorMade adidas Golf.

"This deal cements adidas' support for amateur golf in England and formalises
the use of adidas products, which had already become the footwear of choice
for the majority of the England team players."

The agreement also applies to England's under-16, boys and youth teams.
EGU secretary Paul Baxter said: "This arrangement continues our desire to
partner leading companies in the pursuit of excellence."
