“We’re delighted to be working with Mass United,” says Paul Hamburger, CEO of Admiral Soccer. “We’re designing and making “The Riders” a made to order customized soccer kit in our own factory.  It means the club get what they want and can focus on developing their players and playing the game,” says Hamburger.  “It’s important to give the players every advantage on the field with the latest, lightweight fabric technology … we want to do our part in helping Mass United win”

As Mass United FC enters its second season in the NPSL, the club continues to be dedicated to improving and advancing its sport and its community by focusing on developing talented players and enabling them to maximize their potential.  Adrian Kawuba, a midfielder and defender for the club, was named an NPSL All Star for 2011 and striker Emiliano Amoroso was recently signed by a club in Portugal’s 2^nd Division.  The club is affectionately known as “The Riders” after local heroes William Dawes and Paul Revere.

Jim Antonakas, Owner and President of Mass United FC, said, “We feel it takes a lot to succeed at this level and other companies don’t always do what they have to do to be successful. We selected Admiral because they offer a partnership that other Technical Kit suppliers could not. The expertise that they are offering and the outstanding quality of the Kit, Training wear and Leisurewear has given us the confidence that the relationship with Admiral was the right choice.”

“They’re “hands on” and have an excellent eye for detail that gives them a great understanding of every part of the club’s needs. You feel that they are part of your team as well.  They tailored their solution to the needs of the club and allowed us to create a fantastic range for our playing staff & supporters,” said Antonakas.
