We are proud to announce our first ever collaboration at XX-XY Athletics.
From Riley:
“I’m beyond excited for my first-ever true collaboration product line—and I couldn’t love it more. From the red, white, and blue color palette to the baggy tee and hoodie to the signature labeling, every detail feels right. We agreed to call the collection BE BOLD from the start because that’s my mission: to inspire others to speak up and be bold.
I love this partnership, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve created. It’s the perfect blend of XX-XY Athletics and my personal style. Title IX opened the doors for women in sport—and we’re not giving that up. Be bold, wear your values, and have faith and courage for the girls who need us to be strong for them. This collection is for real athletes who love America.”
BE BOLD by Riley Gaines launches on June 23rd, the anniversary of Title IX, the 1972 landmark legislation that changed everything for women and girls’, guaranteeing equality of opportunity in the education system, including sport opportunities.
Overall, women's athletic participation in high school has grown by 1000% and women’s participation in college sports has grown by 200% since Title IX’s enactment.
Today, Riley Gaines has been the leader in the movement to protect women’s sports. And ensure that women’s sports are for women only.
This collaboration is a celebration of her 12x All-American status as a swimmer at the University of Kentucky. And her bold defense of equality of opportunity for women and girls.
The first drop includes casual pieces including a hoodie, an oversized t-shirt featuring the famous “37 words” that constituted the core of Title IX and a white velour short set featuring athletic styled shorts and a track jacket -- a retro vibe that nods to the era of Title IX’s passing.
The 37 words
About the collection, Jennifer Sey, Founder and CEO of XX-XY Athletics:
“We’re proud to bring you this limited edition drop, crafted in partnership with Riley. It’s red, white and blue, emphasizing Riley’s All-American status and her fierce championing of American values. The hoodie, a soon to be a sought after classic, boldly states her mantra: Save Women’s Sports. The tee is a new silhouette, featuring a youthful oversized baggy look, like a concert tee but cooler. And the white velour short set is everything you need for summer. All signed off with BE BOLD, Riley’s exhortation to us all: Stand up boldly to fight for women and girls.”
