The Dynamo, who play D.C. United on Wednesday at Shell Energy Stadium, announced a multi-year partnership with Dude Wipes on Tuesday that will include adding the name of the disposable wipes brand to a spot close to where the product is most often used: The bottom of the back of the jerseys. The branding will be added in time for the Aug. 1 road match at Sporting Kansas City.
The partnerships tagline is “Space City has Uranus covered.”
“Dude Wipes is exactly the kind of partner we love working with: a brand that’s unapologetically authentic, knows how to make people laugh, and has built an incredibly loyal community by staying true to its personality,” Houston Dynamo FC chief revenue officer Nico Zini said in a statement released by the club. “Together, we’ll bring that same energy to our fans through creative activations, meaningful community initiatives and unforgettable matchday experiences. And as our Back of Jersey partner, it’s only fitting that Dude Wipes literally has our backs.”
The Dynamo-Dude Wipes partnership will include signage inside Shell Energy Stadium, concourse activations and premium hospitality enhancements. The company also will be the presenting partner of Cascarita, a youth development program that offers free street-style pickup soccer events for players ages 12-18.
