| PUMA Unveils Player and Coaches Gifts for 2008 |
The holiday season makes us all think of presents so it's timely to reveal the "presents" that PUMA will be bestowing on Schwan's USA CUP next summer! PUMA has raised the bar on the overall tournament experience, especially the tradition of teams at Schwan's USA CUP receiving merchandise.
Each registered player will receive a specially designed performance bag that is only available at the 2008 USA CUP. In-line with PUMA's v1.08 red-white-black color scheme, the bag is sure to standout with its bigger storage area and increased sportlifestyle appeal.
And coaches, PUMA recognizes that you are the leaders who influence the players and families to choose USA CUP as a tournament destination, so in appreciation, they have designed a coaches bag that you are sure to use year-around. Each head coach of a team competing in USA CUP will receive one! The bag is very limited in quantity, and top of the line. Bring your bag to the PUMA World Store on site and retailer Soccer Express will embellish your bag with a Schwan's USA CUP logo.
 These two items are just a peek at the commitment PUMA is making with USA CUP to guarantee teams the best youth soccer experience of their playing career. The next edition of USA CUP news will show you more of what's in store. |
