Former NBA Player, Muggsy Bogues, Fills Tall Order with No Mas Apparel
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 19, 2011
The NBA’s shortest-ever player is receiving an assist from vintage sports clothier, No Mas, which is dipping into the past to release a t-shirt celebrating the 5’3” Bogues record-breaking career.
Set to launch Wednesday, Oct 19, the deal joins Bogues with a prestigious line of American athletes and brands who have partnered with the apparel company including Muhammad Ali, Everlast, and Wiffle ball.
“As a short guy, I built my NBA career by being creative…That’s why No Mas is the perfect fit,” said Bogues.
Themed after Bogues’ popular summer clinics, the line will be sold in upscale retailers across the country. Bloomingdaleʼs, Fred Segal, Collete in Paris, and the No Mas website will offer the vintage line. Bogues’ personal mottos “Always believe” and “You’re never too small to ball” are uniquely woven into the line’s artwork while the brand continues its commitment to luxury craftsmanship.
Shortly after his draft to the Bullets in 1987, Muggsy Bogues immediately sought to give back to the same community that gave him the opportunity to achieve his dreams. In suit, he developed a basketball camp to help cultivate the next rising stars of the NBA. Summer of 1989 marked the start of the official Muggsy Bogues Camp at the Forsyth Country Day School Winston-Salem, NC. After much first year success, Muggsy’s camp expanded to Charlotte, NC and Baltimore, MD and currently hosts a select group of NBA hopefuls in Charlotte, NC.
