Greenville, SC – The Greenville Triumph have unveiled a uniform patch promoting racial equality that will be worn for the course of the 2020 season, beginning with this weekend’s home-opening match against Richmond.
The patch, which will be worn on the right sleeve of all Triumph kits, features hands of different races uniting inside a black roundel featuring the club’s “Together We Triumph” motto.
“We applaud the effort from the USL and the Players Association to wear the Black Lives Matter armbands for the July matches,” said Vice Chairman Doug Erwin. “We felt strongly that we wanted to continue the needed calls for social change with a visual symbol that stretched beyond July’s armband program. As our club said last month, ‘Together We Triumph’ is not just a slogan, but a directive. We’re looking forward to taking the field for the rest of the 2020 season promoting that message as so many in our country rightfully continue to take a stand for racial equality.”
The patch itself, as well as two shirts featuring the logo, are available for preorder how through the Triumph online store. See the patch’s debut as the Triumph take on the Richmond Kickers in their home opener this Saturday at 7:00pm, shown exclusively on ESPN+.
