Lights announce Zappos will be club’s first jersey sponsor

The Las Vegas Lights FC announced Wednesday that the team has a three-year deal with online retailer Zappos to be the club’s jersey sponsor and exclusive e-commerce partner.

Zappos will be featured prominently on the team’s home and away uniforms, and also helped design the club’s kits. The company will also host fans at tailgate parties during the season at Cashman Field.

The Lights’ uniforms will feature Zappos branding on the chest, and once unveiled they will be available for sale at Zappos.com and at the Zappos Z Boutique on the company’s downtown Las Vegas campus. Jerseys will also be available for sale at the Lights’ home games, starting with the United Soccer League team’s exhibition game against Major League Soccer’s Montreal Impact on Feb. 10 at Cashman Field.
