Six new umbrellas to launch at the Arnold Palmer Invitational
(New York) – Weatherman, the meteorologist-founded, Bluetooth-embedded umbrella brand, announced its Arnold Palmer Collection, inspired by one of golf’s most loved and iconic figures. The collaboration will be sold at the onsite retail store at the 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, when the tournament week kicks off on March 2 and also will be available for presale on the Weatherman website.
The Weatherman x Arnold Palmer Collection pays homage to the golf legend’s charismatic, colorful personality and brings his ubiquitous umbrella logo to life with six umbrellas in three new designs. Each design will be available in Weatherman’s Golf and Collapsible sizes. In addition to the red/yellow/white/green umbrella featured in the Arnold Palmer logo, there also will be a design available in solid black and white.
“We are honored to partner with Arnold Palmer Enterprises to deliver a collection of umbrellas that represent the personality and character of Arnold Palmer over his life and career,” said Tyler Kupper, Partner and Chief Revenue Officer at Weatherman. “The Weatherman and Arnold Palmer creative teams spent months perfecting designs that fully capture Mr. Palmer’s style, and we’re excited to launch the capsule collection at Bay Hill during the 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.”
“Arnold Palmer chose an umbrella logo to represent his brand, and so clearly the umbrella is an important part of our story,” said Cori Britt, Vice President of Strategic Affairs at Arnold Palmer Enterprises. “Weatherman umbrellas are a fantastic reflection of our commitment to quality and functionality, and we are very happy to be working with them.”
In addition to being sold at the tournament onsite retail store powered by Fanatics, the Bay Hill Pro Shop and select Arnold Palmer designed courses around the United States also will sell the collection year-round. Participants in the Arnold Palmer Invitational Pro-Am will be gifted a commemorative umbrella.
All Weatherman Umbrellas are equipped with optional Bluetooth technology called “The Droplet” to track their location so they are not left behind, and the Weatherman app makes sure you won’t forget to bring your Weatherman umbrella along on rainy days. The Golf and Collapsible Umbrellas are made of industrial-strength fiberglass that prevents breaking and inverting, and vented canopies can withstand winds up to 55 mph.
