Angel City and LA-based streetwear brand Viva La Bonita today launched a limited-edition line of merchandise, including a sweatshirt, two custom t-shirts, socks, lapel pins and earrings. The apparel and accessories are available for purchase at the Angel City shop and from Viva La Bonita.
“From the moment we met Viva La Bonita Founder Rachel Gomez in December 2021, it was clear that our two organizations were aligned in our missions to empower women and celebrate progress,” said ACFC Co-Founder and President Julie Uhrman. “Connecting with Viva La Bonita’s loyal customers as well as bringing the brand to our fanbase is an incredible opportunity as we continue to strive to reach every corner of this great city. Rachel has also been a loyal friend and supporter of the team, and we are thrilled to see this collaboration come to life.”
“The Viva La Bonita and Angel City Football Club collaboration embodies the spirit of resilience,” said Gomez. “It’s a representation of who we can be when it gets tough. We never give up. Let your family be your roots, your dreams be your wings, and your determination be the fuel that propels you forward.”
The collection features ACFC’s mantra “Volemos,” meaning “Let’s fly together,” as well as Viva La Bonita’s motto, “Your dreams are your wings.” The merch items are a nod to honoring one’s roots, family, and the idea that when we fly together, we are never alone.
