FootJoy Expands Full Line Performance Apparel Collection

Fairhaven, MA -- Building on the Spring, 2012 introduction of full line performance golf apparel, FootJoy is excited to introduce the Fall, 2012 collection of FJ Apparel. Led by four all-new contemporary color collections, the Fall line includes exciting performance pieces for all style preferences and playing conditions. Additions to the rainwear and outerwear categories will expand the popular Layering System and enable players to Make Every Day Playable.

Featuring contemporary colors and patterns in a variety of style and performance fabrics, the design focus for FJ performance apparel is on one sport - golf, which is FootJoy's sole passion. FJ Ambassador Steve Stricker captured the PGA Tour's season-opening Hyundai Tournament of Champions wearing a full range of FJ products, including shirts from the recently introduced Spring, 2012 fashion collections.

The Fall, 2012 color collections will be supplemented by an in-stock core range of Essentials shirts, rain and outerwear pieces and accessories.

Fall, 2012 Color Collections:
CAPTIVA - a vibrant collection featuring Navy, Sky, Raspberry and White color combinations.
SEDONA - this desert-inspired collection features Slate, Orange, Khaki and Stone.
BAR HARBOR - this classic collection uses the strong, traditional colors of Black, Royal, Steel and White.
ADIRONDACK - the colors of Navy, Bergundy, Gold, Hunter and Cream give Adirondack a true, Autumn feel.

In addition to the fashion collections and based on consumer demand, FJ will also expand their Essentials shirts to include a number of Pencil Stripe ProDry Performance Lisle shirts and will also introduce a new ProDry Performance Lisle Solid with a knit collar.

Moving to the outer layer where FJ remains the industry leader, FJ will debut a new Performance Light Rain Jacket with zip-off sleeves, new four-way stretch fabric, a two-way front zipper and enhanced overall waterproofness. In addition, to complement the successful Performance Lined Sweaters, FJ will also offer new Fine Merino Wool Sweaters and Vests.

The Fall, 2012 collection will be shown this week in FJ's booth (#727) at the PGA Show in Orlando, FL. The line will be available in golf shops July 5, 2012.
