“I can’t wait to see our players and fans proudly displaying the iconic Target bullseye across their chests,” Rogers said. “Together, Target and Minnesota United will represent the state of Minnesota in our global game.”
In addition to the deal with Minnesota United, Target announced a League partnership with MLS, immediately positioning the local company as one of the largest supporters and retail locations for soccer in the United States.
“We look forward to helping launch Minnesota United FC to the world and bring soccer to the Twin Cities, which has been Target’s hometown for more than 50 years,” said Rick Gomez, senior vice president, Marketing, Target. “Target has a long history of supporting our local teams and are proud to be part of Major League Soccer’s expansion into the Twin Cities this year.”
The official Minnesota United kit will feature the Target bullseye logo and will be revealed in late February, with the new season kicking off in early March.
